1

If angle a = 58° and angle b = 56° what is the length of angle c?

71% Answer Correctly
86°
97°
66°
110°

Solution

The sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°:
180° = a° + b° + c°
c° = 180° - a° - b°
c° = 180° - 58° - 56° = 66°


2

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

24% Answer Correctly

c = π d2

c = π r

c = π r2

c = 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.


3

Solve 9b - 3b = -8b - 4y + 9 for b in terms of y.

35% Answer Correctly
16y + 2
-5\(\frac{1}{2}\)y + 2
-\(\frac{1}{17}\)y + \(\frac{9}{17}\)
-\(\frac{1}{2}\)y + 3\(\frac{1}{2}\)

Solution

To solve this equation, isolate the variable for which you are solving (b) on one side of the equation and put everything else on the other side.

9b - 3y = -8b - 4y + 9
9b = -8b - 4y + 9 + 3y
9b + 8b = -4y + 9 + 3y
17b = -y + 9
b = \( \frac{-y + 9}{17} \)
b = \( \frac{-y}{17} \) + \( \frac{9}{17} \)
b = -\(\frac{1}{17}\)y + \(\frac{9}{17}\)


4

Order the following types of angle from least number of degrees to most number of degrees.

76% Answer Correctly

right, obtuse, acute

right, acute, obtuse

acute, right, obtuse

acute, obtuse, right


Solution

An acute angle measures less than 90°, a right angle measures 90°, and an obtuse angle measures more than 90°.


5

If a = c = 6, b = d = 8, what is the area of this rectangle?

80% Answer Correctly
32
15
21
48

Solution

The area of a rectangle is equal to its length x width:

a = l x w
a = a x b
a = 6 x 8
a = 48
