If angle a = 23° and angle b = 43° what is the length of angle d?

56% Answer Correctly
124°
120°
136°
157°

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° - 43° = 114°

So, d° = 43° + 114° = 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

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

50% Answer Correctly

opposite sides and adjacent angles are equal

a parallelogram is a quadrilateral

the area of a parallelogram is base x height

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


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).

The dimensions of this cube are height (h) = 1, length (l) = 6, and width (w) = 7. What is the volume?

83% Answer Correctly
4
42
90
576

Solution

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

v = h x l x w
v = 1 x 6 x 7
v = 42

This diagram represents two parallel lines with a transversal. If y° = 155, what is the value of c°?

73% Answer Correctly
25
169
39
34

Solution

For parallel lines with a transversal, the following relationships apply:

  • angles in the same position on different parallel lines equal each other (a° = w°, b° = x°, c° = z°, d° = y°)
  • alternate interior angles are equal (a° = z°, b° = y°, c° = w°, d° = x°)
  • all acute angles (a° = c° = w° = z°) and all obtuse angles (b° = d° = x° = y°) equal each other
  • same-side interior angles are supplementary and add up to 180° (e.g. a° + d° = 180°, d° + c° = 180°)

Applying these relationships starting with y° = 155, the value of c° is 25.

A coordinate grid is composed of which of the following?

92% Answer Correctly

all of these

x-axis

y-axis

origin


Solution

The coordinate grid is composed of a horizontal x-axis and a vertical y-axis. The center of the grid, where the x-axis and y-axis meet, is called the origin.
