If angle a = 33° and angle b = 50° what is the length of angle d?

56% Answer Correctly
143°
139°
112°
147°

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° - 33° - 50° = 97°

So, d° = 50° + 97° = 147°

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° - 33° = 147°


2

If a = c = 2, b = d = 6, and the blue angle = 63°, what is the area of this parallelogram?

66% Answer Correctly
12
63
9
24

Solution

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

a = l x w
a = a x b
a = 2 x 6
a = 12


3

The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 8 and radius (r) = 3. What is the surface area?

48% Answer Correctly
132π
20π
240π
66π

Solution

The surface area of a cylinder is 2πr2 + 2πrh:

sa = 2πr2 + 2πrh
sa = 2π(32) + 2π(3 x 8)
sa = 2π(9) + 2π(24)
sa = (2 x 9)π + (2 x 24)π
sa = 18π + 48π
sa = 66π


4

Which types of triangles will always have at least two sides of equal length?

54% Answer Correctly

equilateral, isosceles and right

isosceles and right

equilateral and isosceles

equilateral and right


Solution

An isosceles triangle has two sides of equal length. An equilateral triangle has three sides of equal length. In a right triangle, two sides meet at a right angle.


5

If a = 4 and x = -1, what is the value of -7a(a - x)?

68% Answer Correctly
-168
-140
0
-4

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.)

-7a(a - x)
-7(4)(4 + 1)
-7(4)(5)
(-28)(5)
-140
