If angle a = 57° and angle b = 28° what is the length of angle d?

56% Answer Correctly
129°
145°
123°
153°

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° - 57° - 28° = 95°

So, d° = 28° + 95° = 123°

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° - 57° = 123°


2

When two lines intersect, adjacent angles are __________ (they add up to 180°) and angles across from either other are __________ (they're equal).

61% Answer Correctly

obtuse, acute

vertical, supplementary

supplementary, vertical

acute, obtuse


Solution

Angles around a line add up to 180°. Angles around a point add up to 360°. When two lines intersect, adjacent angles are supplementary (they add up to 180°) and angles across from either other are vertical (they're equal).


3

Breaking apart a quadratic expression into a pair of binomials is called:

75% Answer Correctly

deconstructing

normalizing

squaring

factoring


Solution

To factor a quadratic expression, apply the FOIL (First, Outside, Inside, Last) method in reverse.


4

Solve for b:
9b - 3 > \( \frac{b}{5} \)

44% Answer Correctly
b > \(\frac{27}{35}\)
b > \(\frac{18}{31}\)
b > -\(\frac{27}{55}\)
b > \(\frac{15}{44}\)

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.

9b - 3 > \( \frac{b}{5} \)
5 x (9b - 3) > b
(5 x 9b) + (5 x -3) > b
45b - 15 > b
45b - 15 - b > 0
45b - b > 15
44b > 15
b > \( \frac{15}{44} \)
b > \(\frac{15}{44}\)


5

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

77% Answer Correctly

a = π r

a = π d2

a = π r2

a = 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.
