1

If angle a = 54° and angle b = 27° what is the length of angle c?

71% Answer Correctly
79°
96°
99°
120°

Solution

The sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°:
180° = a° + b° + c°
c° = 180° - a° - b°
c° = 180° - 54° - 27° = 99°


2

When two lines intersect, adjacent angles are __________ (they add up to 180°) and angles across from either other are __________ (they're equal).

60% Answer Correctly

supplementary, vertical

acute, obtuse

vertical, supplementary

obtuse, acute


Solution

Angles around a line add up to 180°. Angles around a point add up to 360°. When two lines intersect, adjacent angles are supplementary (they add up to 180°) and angles across from either other are vertical (they're equal).


3

If b = 1 and x = -5, what is the value of -8b(b - x)?

68% Answer Correctly
42
-48
-252
28

Solution

To solve this equation, 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.)

-8b(b - x)
-8(1)(1 + 5)
-8(1)(6)
(-8)(6)
-48


4

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

51% Answer Correctly

trapezoid

quadrilateral

triangle

rhombus


Solution

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


5

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).
