1

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

acute, obtuse

vertical, supplementary

obtuse, acute

supplementary, vertical


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).


2

Solve for a:
-7a - 3 > -4 - 2a

55% Answer Correctly
a > \(\frac{1}{5}\)
a > -2\(\frac{1}{3}\)
a > -\(\frac{2}{9}\)
a > \(\frac{2}{3}\)

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.

-7a - 3 > -4 - 2a
-7a > -4 - 2a + 3
-7a + 2a > -4 + 3
-5a > -1
a > \( \frac{-1}{-5} \)
a > \(\frac{1}{5}\)


3

If the base of this triangle is 7 and the height is 2, what is the area?

58% Answer Correctly
65
31\(\frac{1}{2}\)
7
27\(\frac{1}{2}\)

Solution

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

a = ½bh
a = ½ x 7 x 2 = \( \frac{14}{2} \) = 7


4

If angle a = 39° and angle b = 29° what is the length of angle c?

71% Answer Correctly
112°
44°
101°
92°

Solution

The sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°:
180° = a° + b° + c°
c° = 180° - a° - b°
c° = 180° - 39° - 29° = 112°


5

The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 9 and radius (r) = 6. What is the surface area?

48% Answer Correctly
180π
168π
56π
80π

Solution

The surface area of a cylinder is 2πr2 + 2πrh:

sa = 2πr2 + 2πrh
sa = 2π(62) + 2π(6 x 9)
sa = 2π(36) + 2π(54)
sa = (2 x 36)π + (2 x 54)π
sa = 72π + 108π
sa = 180π
