If angle a = 44° and angle b = 49° what is the length of angle d?

56% Answer Correctly
114°
136°
151°
118°

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° - 44° - 49° = 87°

So, d° = 49° + 87° = 136°

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° - 44° = 136°


2

Simplify 5a x 3b.

86% Answer Correctly
15a2b2
15\( \frac{b}{a} \)
15ab
15\( \frac{a}{b} \)

Solution

To multiply monomials, multiply the coefficients (the numbers that come before the variables) of each term, add the exponents of like variables, and multiply the different variables together.

5a x 3b = (5 x 3) (a x b) = 15ab


3

If the area of this square is 49, what is the length of one of the diagonals?

68% Answer Correctly
6\( \sqrt{2} \)
3\( \sqrt{2} \)
\( \sqrt{2} \)
7\( \sqrt{2} \)

Solution

To find the diagonal we need to know the length of one of the square's sides. We know the area and the area of a square is the length of one side squared:

a = s2

so the length of one side of the square is:

s = \( \sqrt{a} \) = \( \sqrt{49} \) = 7

The Pythagorean theorem defines the square of the hypotenuse (diagonal) of a triangle with a right angle as the sum of the squares of the other two sides:

c2 = a2 + b2
c2 = 72 + 72
c2 = 98
c = \( \sqrt{98} \) = \( \sqrt{49 x 2} \) = \( \sqrt{49} \) \( \sqrt{2} \)
c = 7\( \sqrt{2} \)


4

What is the circumference of a circle with a diameter of 11?

71% Answer Correctly
22π
11π

Solution

The formula for circumference is circle diameter x π:

c = πd
c = 11π


5

Solve for x:
-8x - 6 > \( \frac{x}{-7} \)

44% Answer Correctly
x > \(\frac{5}{9}\)
x > -3
x > -3\(\frac{3}{5}\)
x > -\(\frac{42}{55}\)

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 > sign and the answer on the other.

-8x - 6 > \( \frac{x}{-7} \)
-7 x (-8x - 6) > x
(-7 x -8x) + (-7 x -6) > x
56x + 42 > x
56x + 42 - x > 0
56x - x > -42
55x > -42
x > \( \frac{-42}{55} \)
x > -\(\frac{42}{55}\)
