1

If angle a = 69° and angle b = 39° what is the length of angle c?

71% Answer Correctly
72°
117°
81°
107°

Solution

The sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°:
180° = a° + b° + c°
c° = 180° - a° - b°
c° = 180° - 69° - 39° = 72°


2

If the base of this triangle is 8 and the height is 9, what is the area?

58% Answer Correctly
52
36
33
40

Solution

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

a = ½bh
a = ½ x 8 x 9 = \( \frac{72}{2} \) = 36


3

Simplify (4a)(9ab) + (8a2)(9b).

65% Answer Correctly
221ab2
36a2b
221a2b
108a2b

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.

(4a)(9ab) + (8a2)(9b)
(4 x 9)(a x a x b) + (8 x 9)(a2 x b)
(36)(a1+1 x b) + (72)(a2b)
36a2b + 72a2b
108a2b


4

Breaking apart a quadratic expression into a pair of binomials is called:

74% Answer Correctly

squaring

deconstructing

normalizing

factoring


Solution

To factor a quadratic expression, apply the FOIL (First, Outside, Inside, Last) method in reverse.


5

Solve -3b - 8b = -8b + 9y - 3 for b in terms of y.

34% Answer Correctly
-\(\frac{1}{2}\)y + 3
-y - \(\frac{1}{4}\)
1\(\frac{7}{10}\)y + \(\frac{1}{2}\)
3\(\frac{2}{5}\)y - \(\frac{3}{5}\)

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.

-3b - 8y = -8b + 9y - 3
-3b = -8b + 9y - 3 + 8y
-3b + 8b = 9y - 3 + 8y
5b = 17y - 3
b = \( \frac{17y - 3}{5} \)
b = \( \frac{17y}{5} \) + \( \frac{-3}{5} \)
b = 3\(\frac{2}{5}\)y - \(\frac{3}{5}\)
