1

If angle a = 23° and angle b = 23° what is the length of angle d?

56% Answer Correctly
151°
133°
142°
157°

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° - 23° - 23° = 134°

So, d° = 23° + 134° = 157°

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° - 23° = 157°


2

The dimensions of this cube are height (h) = 7, length (l) = 9, and width (w) = 4. What is the volume?

83% Answer Correctly
12
288
36
252

Solution

The volume of a cube is height x length x width:

v = h x l x w
v = 7 x 9 x 4
v = 252


3

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

75% Answer Correctly

right, acute, obtuse

acute, right, obtuse

right, obtuse, acute

acute, obtuse, right


Solution

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


4

A(n) __________ is to a parallelogram as a square is to a rectangle.

52% Answer Correctly

triangle

quadrilateral

trapezoid

rhombus


Solution

A rhombus is a parallelogram with four equal-length sides. A square is a rectangle with four equal-length sides.


5

Solve 5b + 8b = -8b + 9x - 5 for b in terms of x.

34% Answer Correctly
-1\(\frac{2}{5}\)x - \(\frac{1}{5}\)
\(\frac{5}{8}\)x - \(\frac{3}{8}\)
x - 9
\(\frac{1}{13}\)x - \(\frac{5}{13}\)

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.

5b + 8x = -8b + 9x - 5
5b = -8b + 9x - 5 - 8x
5b + 8b = 9x - 5 - 8x
13b = x - 5
b = \( \frac{x - 5}{13} \)
b = \( \frac{x}{13} \) + \( \frac{-5}{13} \)
b = \(\frac{1}{13}\)x - \(\frac{5}{13}\)
