1

A right angle measures:

91% Answer Correctly

90°

45°

180°

360°


Solution

A right angle measures 90 degrees and is the intersection of two perpendicular lines. In diagrams, a right angle is indicated by a small box completing a square with the perpendicular lines.


2

Which of the following expressions contains exactly two terms?

83% Answer Correctly

quadratic

polynomial

monomial

binomial


Solution

A monomial contains one term, a binomial contains two terms, and a polynomial contains more than two terms.


3

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

36% Answer Correctly

all acute angles equal each other

same-side interior angles are complementary and equal each other

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

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


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°).


4

If the base of this triangle is 1 and the height is 1, what is the area?

58% Answer Correctly
39

24
\(\frac{1}{2}\)

Solution

The area of a triangle is equal to ½ base x height:

a = ½bh
a = ½ x 1 x 1 = \( \frac{1}{2} \) = \(\frac{1}{2}\)


5

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

51% Answer Correctly
144
76
82
110

Solution

The surface area of a cube is (2 x length x width) + (2 x width x height) + (2 x length x height):

sa = 2lw + 2wh + 2lh
sa = (2 x 7 x 1) + (2 x 1 x 6) + (2 x 7 x 6)
sa = (14) + (12) + (84)
sa = 110
