If angle a = 67° and angle b = 43° what is the length of angle d?

56% Answer Correctly
154°
139°
127°
113°

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° - 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°


2

Which of the following statements about parallel lines with a transversal is not correct?

36% Answer Correctly

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


Solution

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°).


3

If side a = 9, side b = 8, what is the length of the hypotenuse of this right triangle?

64% Answer Correctly
\( \sqrt{82} \)
\( \sqrt{52} \)
\( \sqrt{145} \)
\( \sqrt{13} \)

Solution

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 = \( \sqrt{145} \)


4

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

74% Answer Correctly

squaring

deconstructing

factoring

normalizing


Solution

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


5

What is the circumference of a circle with a radius of 7?

71% Answer Correctly
28π
14π

Solution

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
