If angle a = 39° and angle b = 43° what is the length of angle d?

56% Answer Correctly
115°
141°
116°
148°

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° - 39° - 43° = 98°

So, d° = 43° + 98° = 141°

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° - 39° = 141°


2

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

49% Answer Correctly

the area of a parallelogram is base x height

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

a parallelogram is a quadrilateral

opposite sides and adjacent angles are equal


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).


3

On this circle, line segment CD is the:

46% Answer Correctly

diameter

circumference

radius

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).


4

If angle a = 55° and angle b = 65° what is the length of angle c?

71% Answer Correctly
50°
60°
69°
83°

Solution

The sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°:
180° = a° + b° + c°
c° = 180° - a° - b°
c° = 180° - 55° - 65° = 60°


5

If c = 4 and y = -9, what is the value of c(c - y)?

68% Answer Correctly
96

-150
52

Solution

To solve this equation, replace the variables with the values given and then solve the now variable-free equation. (Remember order of operations, PEMDAS, Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication/Division, Addition/Subtraction.)

c(c - y)
1(4)(4 + 9)
1(4)(13)
(4)(13)
