1

If a = c = 8, b = d = 9, and the blue angle = 62°, what is the area of this parallelogram?

66% Answer Correctly
54
42
72
9

Solution

The area of a parallelogram is equal to its length x width:

a = l x w
a = a x b
a = 8 x 9
a = 72


2

Which of the following is not required to define the slope-intercept equation for a line?

42% Answer Correctly

slope

\({\Delta y \over \Delta x}\)

x-intercept

y-intercept


Solution

A line on the coordinate grid can be defined by a slope-intercept equation: y = mx + b. For a given value of x, the value of y can be determined given the slope (m) and y-intercept (b) of the line. The slope of a line is change in y over change in x, \({\Delta y \over \Delta x}\), and the y-intercept is the y-coordinate where the line crosses the vertical y-axis.


3

Solve for y:
4y + 1 < \( \frac{y}{3} \)

44% Answer Correctly
y < -\(\frac{3}{11}\)
y < 2\(\frac{4}{7}\)
y < 1\(\frac{19}{53}\)
y < 1\(\frac{17}{37}\)

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.

4y + 1 < \( \frac{y}{3} \)
3 x (4y + 1) < y
(3 x 4y) + (3 x 1) < y
12y + 3 < y
12y + 3 - y < 0
12y - y < -3
11y < -3
y < \( \frac{-3}{11} \)
y < -\(\frac{3}{11}\)


4

Order the following types of angle from least number of degrees to most number of degrees.

75% Answer Correctly

right, obtuse, acute

acute, obtuse, right

acute, right, obtuse

right, acute, obtuse


Solution

An acute angle measures less than 90°, a right angle measures 90°, and an obtuse angle measures more than 90°.


5

Which of the following statements about parallel lines with a transversal is not correct?

36% Answer Correctly

all acute angles equal each other

all of the angles formed by a transversal are called interior angles

angles in the same position on different parallel lines are called corresponding angles

same-side interior angles are complementary and equal each other


Solution

Parallel lines are lines that share the same slope (steepness) and therefore never intersect. A transversal occurs when a set of parallel lines are crossed by another line. All of the angles formed by a transversal are called interior angles and angles in the same position on different parallel lines equal each other (a° = w°, b° = x°, c° = z°, d° = y°) and are called corresponding angles. Alternate interior angles are equal (a° = z°, b° = y°, c° = w°, d° = x°) and 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°).
