If angle a = 47° and angle b = 64° what is the length of angle c?

71% Answer Correctly
74°
69°
79°
76°

Solution

The sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°:
180° = a° + b° + c°
c° = 180° - a° - b°
c° = 180° - 47° - 64° = 69°


2

The formula for the area of a circle is which of the following?

77% Answer Correctly

a = π r

a = π d

a = π r2

a = π d2


Solution

The circumference of a circle is the distance around its perimeter and equals π (approx. 3.14159) x diameter: c = π d. The area of a circle is π x (radius)2 : a = π r2.


3

Find the value of c:
-4c + x = 5
-6c - 3x = 6

42% Answer Correctly
-1\(\frac{5}{21}\)
-1\(\frac{1}{6}\)
\(\frac{34}{89}\)
\(\frac{23}{29}\)

Solution

You need to find the value of c so solve the first equation in terms of x:

-4c + x = 5
x = 5 + 4c

then substitute the result (5 - -4c) into the second equation:

-6c - 3(5 + 4c) = 6
-6c + (-3 x 5) + (-3 x 4c) = 6
-6c - 15 - 12c = 6
-6c - 12c = 6 + 15
-18c = 21
c = \( \frac{21}{-18} \)
c = -1\(\frac{1}{6}\)


4

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

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

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, 3) and (2, -3) so the slope becomes:

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(-3.0) - (3.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{-6}{4} \)
m = -1\(\frac{1}{2}\)


5

If angle a = 36° and angle b = 58° what is the length of angle d?

56% Answer Correctly
144°
136°
125°
129°

Solution

An exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the two interior angles that are opposite:

d° = b° + c°

To find angle c, remember that the sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°:

180° = a° + b° + c°
c° = 180° - a° - b°
c° = 180° - 36° - 58° = 86°

So, d° = 58° + 86° = 144°

A shortcut to get this answer is to remember that angles around a line add up to 180°:

a° + d° = 180°
d° = 180° - a°
d° = 180° - 36° = 144°
