1

A trapezoid is a quadrilateral with one set of __________ sides.

70% Answer Correctly

parallel

equal length

right angle

equal angle


Solution

A trapezoid is a quadrilateral with one set of parallel sides.


2

If angle a = 45° and angle b = 50° what is the length of angle d?

56% Answer Correctly
135°
151°
115°
114°

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° - 45° - 50° = 85°

So, d° = 50° + 85° = 135°

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° - 45° = 135°


3

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

60% Answer Correctly

vertical, supplementary

acute, obtuse

supplementary, vertical

obtuse, acute


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).


4

If a = 4 and y = -4, what is the value of 2a(a - y)?

68% Answer Correctly
64
-16
1088
108

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.)

2a(a - y)
2(4)(4 + 4)
2(4)(8)
(8)(8)
64


5

If a = 3, b = 6, c = 9, and d = 2, what is the perimeter of this quadrilateral?

88% Answer Correctly
25
22
20
24

Solution

Perimeter is equal to the sum of the four sides:

p = a + b + c + d
p = 3 + 6 + 9 + 2
p = 20
