1

If angle a = 21° and angle b = 41° what is the length of angle c?

71% Answer Correctly
111°
115°
87°
118°

Solution

The sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°:
180° = a° + b° + c°
c° = 180° - a° - b°
c° = 180° - 21° - 41° = 118°


2

Solve for z:
-5z - 4 > \( \frac{z}{1} \)

44% Answer Correctly
z > -3\(\frac{3}{11}\)
z > \(\frac{7}{31}\)
z > -\(\frac{2}{3}\)
z > -1\(\frac{1}{3}\)

Solution

To solve this equation, repeatedly do the same thing to both sides of the equation until the variable is isolated on one side of the > sign and the answer on the other.

-5z - 4 > \( \frac{z}{1} \)
1 x (-5z - 4) > z
(1 x -5z) + (1 x -4) > z
-5z - 4 > z
-5z - 4 - z > 0
-5z - z > 4
-6z > 4
z > \( \frac{4}{-6} \)
z > -\(\frac{2}{3}\)


3

If the base of this triangle is 7 and the height is 6, what is the area?

58% Answer Correctly
66
21
105
42

Solution

The area of a triangle is equal to ½ base x height:

a = ½bh
a = ½ x 7 x 6 = \( \frac{42}{2} \) = 21


4

Solve for x:
x2 - 3x - 54 = 0

58% Answer Correctly
-6 or 9
6 or 3
8 or 3
3 or 2

Solution

The first step to solve a quadratic equation that's set to zero is to factor the quadratic equation:

x2 - 3x - 54 = 0
(x + 6)(x - 9) = 0

For this expression to be true, the left side of the expression must equal zero. Therefore, either (x + 6) or (x - 9) must equal zero:

If (x + 6) = 0, x must equal -6
If (x - 9) = 0, x must equal 9

So the solution is that x = -6 or 9


5

A right angle measures:

90% Answer Correctly

180°

360°

45°

90°


Solution

A right angle measures 90 degrees and is the intersection of two perpendicular lines. In diagrams, a right angle is indicated by a small box completing a square with the perpendicular lines.
