If angle a = 44° and angle b = 40° what is the length of angle c?

71% Answer Correctly
106°
89°
96°
77°

Solution

The sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°:
180° = a° + b° + c°
c° = 180° - a° - b°
c° = 180° - 44° - 40° = 96°

On this circle, a line segment connecting point A to point D is called:

46% Answer Correctly

radius

circumference

diameter

chord


Solution

A circle is a figure in which each point around its perimeter is an equal distance from the center. The radius of a circle is the distance between the center and any point along its perimeter. A chord is a line segment that connects any two points along its perimeter. The diameter of a circle is the length of a chord that passes through the center of the circle and equals twice the circle's radius (2r).


3

Factor y2 - 2y - 3

54% Answer Correctly
(y - 3)(y + 1)
(y - 3)(y - 1)
(y + 3)(y - 1)
(y + 3)(y + 1)

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 -3 as well and sum (Inside, Outside) to equal -2. For this problem, those two numbers are -3 and 1. Then, plug these into a set of binomials using the square root of the First variable (y2):

y2 - 2y - 3
y2 + (-3 + 1)y + (-3 x 1)
(y - 3)(y + 1)


4

The dimensions of this cube are height (h) = 8, length (l) = 1, and width (w) = 7. What is the volume?

83% Answer Correctly
486
72
56
180

Solution

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

v = h x l x w
v = 8 x 1 x 7
v = 56


5

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

24% Answer Correctly

c = π d2

c = π r

c = π r2

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.
