If angle a = 67° and angle b = 43° what is the length of angle d?
| 154° | |
| 139° | |
| 127° | |
| 113° |
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° - 67° - 43° = 70°
So, d° = 43° + 70° = 113°
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° - 67° = 113°
Which of the following statements about parallel lines with a transversal is not correct?
angles in the same position on different parallel lines are called corresponding angles |
|
all of the angles formed by a transversal are called interior angles |
|
same-side interior angles are complementary and equal each other |
|
all acute angles equal each other |
Parallel lines are lines that share the same slope (steepness) and therefore never intersect. A transversal occurs when a set of parallel lines are crossed by another line. All of the angles formed by a transversal are called interior angles and angles in the same position on different parallel lines equal each other (a° = w°, b° = x°, c° = z°, d° = y°) and are called corresponding angles. Alternate interior angles are equal (a° = z°, b° = y°, c° = w°, d° = x°) and 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°).
If side a = 9, side b = 8, what is the length of the hypotenuse of this right triangle?
| \( \sqrt{82} \) | |
| \( \sqrt{52} \) | |
| \( \sqrt{145} \) | |
| \( \sqrt{13} \) |
According to the Pythagorean theorem, the hypotenuse squared is equal to the sum of the two perpendicular sides squared:
c2 = a2 + b2
c2 = 92 + 82
c2 = 81 + 64
c2 = 145
c = \( \sqrt{145} \)
Breaking apart a quadratic expression into a pair of binomials is called:
squaring |
|
deconstructing |
|
factoring |
|
normalizing |
To factor a quadratic expression, apply the FOIL (First, Outside, Inside, Last) method in reverse.
What is the circumference of a circle with a radius of 7?
| 28π | |
| 6π | |
| 9π | |
| 14π |
The formula for circumference is circle diameter x π. Circle diameter is 2 x radius:
c = πd
c = π(2 * r)
c = π(2 * 7)
c = 14π
