1

Order the following types of angle from least number of degrees to most number of degrees.

75% Answer Correctly

right, acute, obtuse

right, obtuse, acute

acute, obtuse, right

acute, right, obtuse


Solution

An acute angle measures less than 90°, a right angle measures 90°, and an obtuse angle measures more than 90°.


2

Solve for x:
x2 + 7x + 6 = 0

58% Answer Correctly
-1 or -6
7 or -5
9 or 2
9 or -2

Solution

The first step to solve a quadratic equation that's set to zero is to factor the quadratic equation:

x2 + 7x + 6 = 0
(x + 1)(x + 6) = 0

For this expression to be true, the left side of the expression must equal zero. Therefore, either (x + 1) or (x + 6) must equal zero:

If (x + 1) = 0, x must equal -1
If (x + 6) = 0, x must equal -6

So the solution is that x = -1 or -6


3

Which of the following statements about parallel lines with a transversal is not correct?

36% Answer Correctly

all of the angles formed by a transversal are called interior angles

angles in the same position on different parallel lines are called corresponding angles

same-side interior angles are complementary and equal each other

all acute angles equal each other


Solution

Parallel lines are lines that share the same slope (steepness) and therefore never intersect. A transversal occurs when a set of parallel lines are crossed by another line. All of the angles formed by a transversal are called interior angles and angles in the same position on different parallel lines equal each other (a° = w°, b° = x°, c° = z°, d° = y°) and are called corresponding angles. Alternate interior angles are equal (a° = z°, b° = y°, c° = w°, d° = x°) and all acute angles (a° = c° = w° = z°) and all obtuse angles (b° = d° = x° = y°) equal each other. Same-side interior angles are supplementary and add up to 180° (e.g. a° + d° = 180°, d° + c° = 180°).


4

Solve for z:
-5z - 2 = \( \frac{z}{-5} \)

46% Answer Correctly
-\(\frac{5}{12}\)
\(\frac{30}{49}\)
-\(\frac{49}{57}\)
-1\(\frac{4}{21}\)

Solution

To solve this equation, repeatedly do the same thing to both sides of the equation until the variable is isolated on one side of the equal sign and the answer on the other.

-5z - 2 = \( \frac{z}{-5} \)
-5 x (-5z - 2) = z
(-5 x -5z) + (-5 x -2) = z
25z + 10 = z
25z + 10 - z = 0
25z - z = -10
24z = -10
z = \( \frac{-10}{24} \)
z = -\(\frac{5}{12}\)


5

The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 8 and radius (r) = 8. What is the volume?

63% Answer Correctly
729π
294π
512π
96π

Solution

The volume of a cylinder is πr2h:

v = πr2h
v = π(82 x 8)
v = 512π
