1

If a = c = 7, b = d = 3, what is the area of this rectangle?

79% Answer Correctly
10
40
21
15

Solution

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

a = l x w
a = a x b
a = 7 x 3
a = 21


2

Order the following types of angle from least number of degrees to most number of degrees.

74% Answer Correctly

acute, obtuse, right

right, acute, obtuse

right, obtuse, acute

acute, right, obtuse


Solution

An acute angle measures less than 90°, a right angle measures 90°, and an obtuse angle measures more than 90°.


3

What is 7a - 6a?

79% Answer Correctly
13
1a
1
13a2

Solution

To combine like terms, add or subtract the coefficients (the numbers that come before the variables) of terms that have the same variable raised to the same exponent.

7a - 6a = 1a


4

If angle a = 41° and angle b = 34° what is the length of angle d?

56% Answer Correctly
131°
133°
139°
145°

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° - 41° - 34° = 105°

So, d° = 34° + 105° = 139°

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° - 41° = 139°


5

Solve for b:
-4b + 9 < 8 + 3b

55% Answer Correctly
b < -\(\frac{7}{8}\)
b < -\(\frac{1}{2}\)
b < \(\frac{1}{7}\)
b < -8

Solution

To solve this equation, repeatedly do the same thing to both sides of the equation until the variable is isolated on one side of the < sign and the answer on the other.

-4b + 9 < 8 + 3b
-4b < 8 + 3b - 9
-4b - 3b < 8 - 9
-7b < -1
b < \( \frac{-1}{-7} \)
b < \(\frac{1}{7}\)
