1

If angle a = 65° and angle b = 46° what is the length of angle c?

70% Answer Correctly
95°
63°
94°
69°

Solution

The sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°:
180° = a° + b° + c°
c° = 180° - a° - b°
c° = 180° - 65° - 46° = 69°


2

Simplify 9a x 5b.

85% Answer Correctly
45a2b2
45\( \frac{b}{a} \)
45ab
14ab

Solution

To multiply monomials, multiply the coefficients (the numbers that come before the variables) of each term, add the exponents of like variables, and multiply the different variables together.

9a x 5b = (9 x 5) (a x b) = 45ab


3

Which of the following statements about a parallelogram is not true?

49% Answer Correctly

the perimeter of a parallelogram is the sum of the lengths of all sides

the area of a parallelogram is base x height

a parallelogram is a quadrilateral

opposite sides and adjacent angles are equal


Solution

A parallelogram is a quadrilateral with two sets of parallel sides. Opposite sides (a = c, b = d) and angles (red = red, blue = blue) are equal. The area of a parallelogram is base x height and the perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all sides (a + b + c + d).


4

If angle a = 69° and angle b = 29° what is the length of angle d?

56% Answer Correctly
154°
139°
111°
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° - 69° - 29° = 82°

So, d° = 29° + 82° = 111°

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° - 69° = 111°


5

Which of the following is not required to define the slope-intercept equation for a line?

42% Answer Correctly

x-intercept

slope

\({\Delta y \over \Delta x}\)

y-intercept


Solution

A line on the coordinate grid can be defined by a slope-intercept equation: y = mx + b. For a given value of x, the value of y can be determined given the slope (m) and y-intercept (b) of the line. The slope of a line is change in y over change in x, \({\Delta y \over \Delta x}\), and the y-intercept is the y-coordinate where the line crosses the vertical y-axis.
