1

If angle a = 68° and angle b = 30° what is the length of angle c?

71% Answer Correctly
100°
117°
57°
82°

Solution

The sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°:
180° = a° + b° + c°
c° = 180° - a° - b°
c° = 180° - 68° - 30° = 82°


2

Which of the following statements about math operations is incorrect?

71% Answer Correctly

you can multiply monomials that have different variables and different exponents

you can subtract monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent

all of these statements are correct

you can add monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent


Solution

You can only add or subtract monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent. For example, 2a + 4a = 6a and 4a2 - a2 = 3a2 but 2a + 4b and 7a - 3b cannot be combined. However, you can multiply and divide monomials with unlike terms. For example, 2a x 6b = 12ab.


3

If the base of this triangle is 3 and the height is 8, what is the area?

59% Answer Correctly
12
77
40
24\(\frac{1}{2}\)

Solution

The area of a triangle is equal to ½ base x height:

a = ½bh
a = ½ x 3 x 8 = \( \frac{24}{2} \) = 12


4

What is the area of a circle with a radius of 2?

70% Answer Correctly
49π
25π

Solution

The formula for area is πr2:

a = πr2
a = π(22)
a = 4π


5

Which of the following statements about a parallelogram is not true?

50% Answer Correctly

opposite sides and adjacent angles are equal

a parallelogram is a quadrilateral

the perimeter of a parallelogram is the sum of the lengths of all sides

the area of a parallelogram is base x height


Solution

A parallelogram is a quadrilateral with two sets of parallel sides. Opposite sides (a = c, b = d) and angles (red = red, blue = blue) are equal. The area of a parallelogram is base x height and the perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all sides (a + b + c + d).
