If angle a = 29° and angle b = 40° what is the length of angle d?

56% Answer Correctly
118°
122°
151°
130°

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° - 29° - 40° = 111°

So, d° = 40° + 111° = 151°

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° - 29° = 151°

A cylinder with a radius (r) and a height (h) has a surface area of:

54% Answer Correctly

4π r2

π r2h2

π r2h

2(π r2) + 2π rh


Solution

A cylinder is a solid figure with straight parallel sides and a circular or oval cross section with a radius (r) and a height (h). The volume of a cylinder is π r2h and the surface area is 2(π r2) + 2π rh.


3

If side x = 13cm, side y = 6cm, and side z = 6cm what is the perimeter of this triangle?

85% Answer Correctly
30cm
25cm
29cm
39cm

Solution

The perimeter of a triangle is the sum of the lengths of its sides:

p = x + y + z
p = 13cm + 6cm + 6cm = 25cm


4

Simplify (y + 2)(y + 3)

64% Answer Correctly
y2 + y - 6
y2 + 5y + 6
y2 - 5y + 6
y2 - y - 6

Solution

To multiply binomials, use the FOIL method. FOIL stands for First, Outside, Inside, Last and refers to the position of each term in the parentheses:

(y + 2)(y + 3)
(y x y) + (y x 3) + (2 x y) + (2 x 3)
y2 + 3y + 2y + 6
y2 + 5y + 6

The dimensions of this cube are height (h) = 2, length (l) = 4, and width (w) = 1. What is the volume?

83% Answer Correctly
48
80
8
64

Solution

The volume of a cube is height x length x width:

v = h x l x w
v = 2 x 4 x 1
v = 8
