If angle a = 51° and angle b = 56° what is the length of angle d?

56% Answer Correctly
115°
143°
148°
129°

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° - 51° - 56° = 73°

So, d° = 56° + 73° = 129°

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° - 51° = 129°

Factor y2 - 64

54% Answer Correctly
(y - 8)(y - 8)
(y - 8)(y + 8)
(y + 8)(y + 8)
(y + 8)(y - 8)

Solution

To factor a quadratic expression, apply the FOIL method (First, Outside, Inside, Last) in reverse. First, find the two Last terms that will multiply to produce -64 as well and sum (Inside, Outside) to equal 0. For this problem, those two numbers are -8 and 8. Then, plug these into a set of binomials using the square root of the First variable (y2):

y2 - 64
y2 + (-8 + 8)y + (-8 x 8)
(y - 8)(y + 8)

What is the circumference of a circle with a diameter of 10?

71% Answer Correctly
32π
22π
10π

Solution

The formula for circumference is circle diameter x π:

c = πd
c = 10π


4

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

76% Answer Correctly

acute, obtuse, right

right, obtuse, acute

right, acute, obtuse

acute, right, obtuse


Solution

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

On this circle, line segment CD is the:

46% Answer Correctly

circumference

radius

diameter

chord


Solution

A circle is a figure in which each point around its perimeter is an equal distance from the center. The radius of a circle is the distance between the center and any point along its perimeter. A chord is a line segment that connects any two points along its perimeter. The diameter of a circle is the length of a chord that passes through the center of the circle and equals twice the circle's radius (2r).
