1

If angle a = 45° and angle b = 23° what is the length of angle c?

71% Answer Correctly
87°
58°
114°
112°

Solution

The sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°:
180° = a° + b° + c°
c° = 180° - a° - b°
c° = 180° - 45° - 23° = 112°


2

If side a = 3, side b = 4, what is the length of the hypotenuse of this right triangle?

64% Answer Correctly
5
\( \sqrt{29} \)
\( \sqrt{13} \)
\( \sqrt{90} \)

Solution

According to the Pythagorean theorem, the hypotenuse squared is equal to the sum of the two perpendicular sides squared:

c2 = a2 + b2
c2 = 32 + 42
c2 = 9 + 16
c2 = 25
c = \( \sqrt{25} \)
c = 5


3

Simplify (3a)(8ab) + (5a2)(5b).

65% Answer Correctly
a2b
110ab2
49ab2
49a2b

Solution

To multiply monomials, multiply the coefficients (the numbers that come before the variables) of each term, add the exponents of like variables, and multiply the different variables together.

(3a)(8ab) + (5a2)(5b)
(3 x 8)(a x a x b) + (5 x 5)(a2 x b)
(24)(a1+1 x b) + (25)(a2b)
24a2b + 25a2b
49a2b


4

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

75% Answer Correctly

right, acute, obtuse

acute, right, obtuse

right, obtuse, acute

acute, obtuse, right


Solution

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


5

The formula for the area of a circle is which of the following?

24% Answer Correctly

c = π d2

c = π r2

c = π r

c = π d


Solution

The circumference of a circle is the distance around its perimeter and equals π (approx. 3.14159) x diameter: c = π d. The area of a circle is π x (radius)2 : a = π r2.
