1

If a = c = 3, b = d = 4, and the blue angle = 53°, what is the area of this parallelogram?

65% Answer Correctly
45
36
12
32

Solution

The area of a parallelogram is equal to its length x width:

a = l x w
a = a x b
a = 3 x 4
a = 12


2

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

74% Answer Correctly

right, acute, obtuse

right, obtuse, acute

acute, right, obtuse

acute, obtuse, right


Solution

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


3

Breaking apart a quadratic expression into a pair of binomials is called:

74% Answer Correctly

deconstructing

squaring

normalizing

factoring


Solution

To factor a quadratic expression, apply the FOIL (First, Outside, Inside, Last) method in reverse.


4

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

60% Answer Correctly

supplementary, vertical

vertical, supplementary

obtuse, acute

acute, obtuse


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).


5

Find the value of b:
b + y = -3
-3b + 5y = -3

42% Answer Correctly
-1\(\frac{3}{4}\)
-\(\frac{67}{72}\)
\(\frac{1}{4}\)
-1\(\frac{1}{2}\)

Solution

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

b + y = -3
y = -3 - b

then substitute the result (-3 - 1b) into the second equation:

-3b + 5(-3 - b) = -3
-3b + (5 x -3) + (5 x -b) = -3
-3b - 15 - 5b = -3
-3b - 5b = -3 + 15
-8b = 12
b = \( \frac{12}{-8} \)
b = -1\(\frac{1}{2}\)
