1

If angle a = 66° and angle b = 34° what is the length of angle c?

71% Answer Correctly
119°
110°
80°
78°

Solution

The sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°:
180° = a° + b° + c°
c° = 180° - a° - b°
c° = 180° - 66° - 34° = 80°


2

The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, -1) and (2, 3). What is the slope of this line?

46% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{1}{2}\)
3
1
-1\(\frac{1}{2}\)

Solution

The slope of this line is the change in y divided by the change in x. The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, -1) and (2, 3) so the slope becomes:

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(3.0) - (-1.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{4}{4} \)
m = 1


3

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

24% Answer Correctly

c = π r

c = π d2

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.


4

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

70% Answer Correctly

parallel

right angle

equal length

equal angle


Solution

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


5

Simplify (y + 1)(y - 9)

63% Answer Correctly
y2 - 8y - 9
y2 - 10y + 9
y2 + 10y + 9
y2 + 8y - 9

Solution

To multiply binomials, use the FOIL method. FOIL stands for First, Outside, Inside, Last and refers to the position of each term in the parentheses:

(y + 1)(y - 9)
(y x y) + (y x -9) + (1 x y) + (1 x -9)
y2 - 9y + y - 9
y2 - 8y - 9
