1

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°.


2

A quadrilateral is a shape with __________ sides.

91% Answer Correctly

2

5

3

4


Solution

A quadrilateral is a shape with four sides. The perimeter of a quadrilateral is the sum of the lengths of its four sides.


3

This diagram represents two parallel lines with a transversal. If y° = 158, what is the value of a°?

73% Answer Correctly
26
162
158
22

Solution

For parallel lines with a transversal, the following relationships apply:

  • angles in the same position on different parallel lines equal each other (a° = w°, b° = x°, c° = z°, d° = y°)
  • alternate interior angles are equal (a° = z°, b° = y°, c° = w°, d° = x°)
  • all acute angles (a° = c° = w° = z°) and all obtuse angles (b° = d° = x° = y°) equal each other
  • same-side interior angles are supplementary and add up to 180° (e.g. a° + d° = 180°, d° + c° = 180°)

Applying these relationships starting with y° = 158, the value of a° is 22.


4

If a = c = 3, b = d = 6, what is the area of this rectangle?

80% Answer Correctly
24
63
56
18

Solution

The area of a rectangle is equal to its length x width:

a = l x w
a = a x b
a = 3 x 6
a = 18


5

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

42% Answer Correctly

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

y-intercept

x-intercept

slope


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.
