If angle a = 33° and angle b = 49° what is the length of angle d?

56% Answer Correctly
154°
150°
147°
120°

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° - 49° = 98°

So, d° = 49° + 98° = 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

What is 3a9 + 4a9?

75% Answer Correctly
7
7a9
-1
a918

Solution

To combine like terms, add or subtract the coefficients (the numbers that come before the variables) of terms that have the same variable raised to the same exponent.

3a9 + 4a9 = 7a9


3

What is 5a - 4a?

79% Answer Correctly
1a
9a2
1
20a

Solution

To combine like terms, add or subtract the coefficients (the numbers that come before the variables) of terms that have the same variable raised to the same exponent.

5a - 4a = 1a


4

If side a = 8, side b = 2, what is the length of the hypotenuse of this right triangle?

64% Answer Correctly
\( \sqrt{68} \)
\( \sqrt{20} \)
\( \sqrt{80} \)
\( \sqrt{128} \)

Solution

According to the Pythagorean theorem, the hypotenuse squared is equal to the sum of the two perpendicular sides squared:

c2 = a2 + b2
c2 = 82 + 22
c2 = 64 + 4
c2 = 68
c = \( \sqrt{68} \)


5

What is 6a + 4a?

81% Answer Correctly
24a
a2
10a
2a2

Solution

To combine like terms, add or subtract the coefficients (the numbers that come before the variables) of terms that have the same variable raised to the same exponent.

6a + 4a = 10a
