If angle a = 54° and angle b = 26° what is the length of angle d?

56% Answer Correctly
126°
133°
120°
139°

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° - 54° - 26° = 100°

So, d° = 26° + 100° = 126°

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° - 54° = 126°


2

Which of the following statements about math operations is incorrect?

71% Answer Correctly

you can subtract monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent

you can multiply monomials that have different variables and different exponents

all of these statements are correct

you can add monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent


Solution

You can only add or subtract monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent. For example, 2a + 4a = 6a and 4a2 - a2 = 3a2 but 2a + 4b and 7a - 3b cannot be combined. However, you can multiply and divide monomials with unlike terms. For example, 2a x 6b = 12ab.

If angle a = 63° and angle b = 38° what is the length of angle c?

71% Answer Correctly
83°
79°
73°
55°

Solution

The sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°:
180° = a° + b° + c°
c° = 180° - a° - b°
c° = 180° - 63° - 38° = 79°

On this circle, line segment CD is the:

46% Answer Correctly

circumference

chord

diameter

radius


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).


5

On this circle, line segment AB is the:

71% Answer Correctly

radius

chord

circumference

diameter


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).
