1

If angle a = 21° and angle b = 38° what is the length of angle d?

56% Answer Correctly
139°
115°
127°
159°

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° - 21° - 38° = 121°

So, d° = 38° + 121° = 159°

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° - 21° = 159°


2

Which of the following expressions contains exactly two terms?

83% Answer Correctly

quadratic

monomial

polynomial

binomial


Solution

A monomial contains one term, a binomial contains two terms, and a polynomial contains more than two terms.


3

A(n) __________ is two expressions separated by an equal sign.

77% Answer Correctly

problem

formula

expression

equation


Solution

An equation is two expressions separated by an equal sign. The key to solving equations is to repeatedly do the same thing to both sides of the equation until the variable is isolated on one side of the equal sign and the answer on the other.


4

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

76% Answer Correctly

right, acute, obtuse

acute, right, obtuse

acute, obtuse, right

right, obtuse, acute


Solution

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


5

Which of the following is not a part of PEMDAS, the acronym for math order of operations?

92% Answer Correctly

exponents

addition

division

pairs


Solution

When solving an equation with two variables, replace the variables with the values given and then solve the now variable-free equation. (Remember order of operations, PEMDAS, Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication/Division, Addition/Subtraction.)
