If angle a = 48° and angle b = 63° what is the length of angle d?

56% Answer Correctly
132°
124°
150°
130°

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° - 48° - 63° = 69°

So, d° = 63° + 69° = 132°

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° - 48° = 132°

Simplify (9a)(4ab) - (9a2)(6b).

62% Answer Correctly
195ab2
-18a2b
195a2b
90a2b

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.

(9a)(4ab) - (9a2)(6b)
(9 x 4)(a x a x b) - (9 x 6)(a2 x b)
(36)(a1+1 x b) - (54)(a2b)
36a2b - 54a2b
-18a2b


3

If c = 9 and y = -8, what is the value of -8c(c - y)?

69% Answer Correctly
16
-200
-50
-1224

Solution

To solve this equation, replace the variables with the values given and then solve the now variable-free equation. (Remember order of operations, PEMDAS, Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication/Division, Addition/Subtraction.)

-8c(c - y)
-8(9)(9 + 8)
-8(9)(17)
(-72)(17)
-1224


4

Solve for y:
-4y + 3 > -4 + 2y

55% Answer Correctly
y > 1
y > -4\(\frac{1}{2}\)
y > 1\(\frac{1}{6}\)
y > -\(\frac{2}{3}\)

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.

-4y + 3 > -4 + 2y
-4y > -4 + 2y - 3
-4y - 2y > -4 - 3
-6y > -7
y > \( \frac{-7}{-6} \)
y > 1\(\frac{1}{6}\)


5

A(n) __________ is to a parallelogram as a square is to a rectangle.

52% Answer Correctly

quadrilateral

rhombus

trapezoid

triangle


Solution

A rhombus is a parallelogram with four equal-length sides. A square is a rectangle with four equal-length sides.
