If angle a = 23° and angle b = 49° what is the length of angle d?

56% Answer Correctly
133°
157°
137°
122°

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° - 23° - 49° = 108°

So, d° = 49° + 108° = 157°

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° - 23° = 157°


2

If angle a = 57° and angle b = 43° what is the length of angle c?

71% Answer Correctly
133°
80°
86°
79°

Solution

The sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°:
180° = a° + b° + c°
c° = 180° - a° - b°
c° = 180° - 57° - 43° = 80°


3

What is 4a - 5a?

80% Answer Correctly
-a2
-1
20a2
-1a

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.

4a - 5a = -1a


4

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

50% Answer Correctly

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

a parallelogram is a quadrilateral

the area of a parallelogram is base x height

opposite sides and adjacent angles are equal


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).


5

The dimensions of this cube are height (h) = 8, length (l) = 5, and width (w) = 5. What is the surface area?

51% Answer Correctly
54
286
210
58

Solution

The surface area of a cube is (2 x length x width) + (2 x width x height) + (2 x length x height):

sa = 2lw + 2wh + 2lh
sa = (2 x 5 x 5) + (2 x 5 x 8) + (2 x 5 x 8)
sa = (50) + (80) + (80)
sa = 210
