1

When two lines intersect, adjacent angles are __________ (they add up to 180°) and angles across from either other are __________ (they're equal).

61% Answer Correctly

acute, obtuse

vertical, supplementary

obtuse, acute

supplementary, vertical


Solution

Angles around a line add up to 180°. Angles around a point add up to 360°. When two lines intersect, adjacent angles are supplementary (they add up to 180°) and angles across from either other are vertical (they're equal).


2

The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, -9) and (2, 3). What is the slope of this line?

46% Answer Correctly
1\(\frac{1}{2}\)
-2\(\frac{1}{2}\)
-1\(\frac{1}{2}\)
3

Solution

The slope of this line is the change in y divided by the change in x. The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, -9) and (2, 3) so the slope becomes:

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(3.0) - (-9.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{12}{4} \)
m = 3


3

Which of the following statements about a triangle is not true?

57% Answer Correctly

area = ½bh

perimeter = sum of side lengths

sum of interior angles = 180°

exterior angle = sum of two adjacent interior angles


Solution

A triangle is a three-sided polygon. It has three interior angles that add up to 180° (a + b + c = 180°). An exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the two interior angles that are opposite (d = b + c). The perimeter of a triangle is equal to the sum of the lengths of its three sides, the height of a triangle is equal to the length from the base to the opposite vertex (angle) and the area equals one-half triangle base x height: a = ½ base x height.


4

What is 2a5 + 5a5?

75% Answer Correctly
7a10
10a10
7a5
10a5

Solution

To combine like terms, add or subtract the coefficients (the numbers that come before the variables) of terms that have the same variable raised to the same exponent.

2a5 + 5a5 = 7a5


5

If the base of this triangle is 7 and the height is 7, what is the area?

58% Answer Correctly
42
22\(\frac{1}{2}\)
45
24\(\frac{1}{2}\)

Solution

The area of a triangle is equal to ½ base x height:

a = ½bh
a = ½ x 7 x 7 = \( \frac{49}{2} \) = 24\(\frac{1}{2}\)
