Solve for a:
a + 4 < \( \frac{a}{-4} \)

44% Answer Correctly
a < -1\(\frac{9}{23}\)
a < -3\(\frac{1}{5}\)
a < 3\(\frac{1}{2}\)
a < -\(\frac{12}{55}\)

Solution

To solve this equation, repeatedly do the same thing to both sides of the equation until the variable is isolated on one side of the < sign and the answer on the other.

a + 4 < \( \frac{a}{-4} \)
-4 x (a + 4) < a
(-4 x a) + (-4 x 4) < a
-4a - 16 < a
-4a - 16 - a < 0
-4a - a < 16
-5a < 16
a < \( \frac{16}{-5} \)
a < -3\(\frac{1}{5}\)

What is the circumference of a circle with a radius of 15?

71% Answer Correctly
16π
30π

Solution

The formula for circumference is circle diameter x π. Circle diameter is 2 x radius:

c = πd
c = π(2 * r)
c = π(2 * 15)
c = 30π


3

A trapezoid is a quadrilateral with one set of __________ sides.

70% Answer Correctly

equal angle

parallel

equal length

right angle


Solution

A trapezoid is a quadrilateral with one set of parallel sides.


4

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

70% Answer Correctly
64π

Solution

The formula for area is πr2:

a = πr2
a = π(22)
a = 4π


5

If angle a = 28° and angle b = 58° what is the length of angle d?

56% Answer Correctly
120°
159°
143°
152°

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° - 28° - 58° = 94°

So, d° = 58° + 94° = 152°

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° - 28° = 152°
