1

If angle a = 70° and angle b = 63° what is the length of angle c?

71% Answer Correctly
68°
114°
47°
93°

Solution

The sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°:
180° = a° + b° + c°
c° = 180° - a° - b°
c° = 180° - 70° - 63° = 47°


2

What is 3a + 2a?

81% Answer Correctly
5a
a2
6a2
5

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.

3a + 2a = 5a


3

If angle a = 67° and angle b = 67° what is the length of angle d?

56% Answer Correctly
143°
157°
122°
113°

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° - 67° - 67° = 46°

So, d° = 67° + 46° = 113°

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° - 67° = 113°


4

The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 3 and radius (r) = 5. What is the surface area?

48% Answer Correctly
80π
44π
30π
234π

Solution

The surface area of a cylinder is 2πr2 + 2πrh:

sa = 2πr2 + 2πrh
sa = 2π(52) + 2π(5 x 3)
sa = 2π(25) + 2π(15)
sa = (2 x 25)π + (2 x 15)π
sa = 50π + 30π
sa = 80π


5

Factor y2 + 6y + 5

54% Answer Correctly
(y - 1)(y - 5)
(y + 1)(y + 5)
(y + 1)(y - 5)
(y - 1)(y + 5)

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 5 as well and sum (Inside, Outside) to equal 6. For this problem, those two numbers are 1 and 5. Then, plug these into a set of binomials using the square root of the First variable (y2):

y2 + 6y + 5
y2 + (1 + 5)y + (1 x 5)
(y + 1)(y + 5)
