1

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

75% Answer Correctly

acute, right, obtuse

acute, obtuse, right

right, obtuse, acute

right, acute, obtuse


Solution

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


2

Find the value of b:
-6b + z = -8
b - 5z = -9

42% Answer Correctly
1\(\frac{20}{29}\)
6\(\frac{1}{3}\)
-\(\frac{4}{11}\)
-7\(\frac{1}{2}\)

Solution

You need to find the value of b so solve the first equation in terms of z:

-6b + z = -8
z = -8 + 6b

then substitute the result (-8 - -6b) into the second equation:

b - 5(-8 + 6b) = -9
b + (-5 x -8) + (-5 x 6b) = -9
b + 40 - 30b = -9
b - 30b = -9 - 40
-29b = -49
b = \( \frac{-49}{-29} \)
b = 1\(\frac{20}{29}\)


3

The dimensions of this cube are height (h) = 5, length (l) = 5, and width (w) = 1. What is the volume?

83% Answer Correctly
25
36
135
72

Solution

The volume of a cube is height x length x width:

v = h x l x w
v = 5 x 5 x 1
v = 25


4

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

58% Answer Correctly

sum of interior angles = 180°

perimeter = sum of side lengths

exterior angle = sum of two adjacent interior angles

area = ½bh


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.


5

A coordinate grid is composed of which of the following?

91% Answer Correctly

all of these

origin

x-axis

y-axis


Solution

The coordinate grid is composed of a horizontal x-axis and a vertical y-axis. The center of the grid, where the x-axis and y-axis meet, is called the origin.
