1

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

61% Answer Correctly

vertical, supplementary

supplementary, vertical

obtuse, acute

acute, obtuse


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).


2

If a = c = 6, b = d = 8, and the blue angle = 62°, what is the area of this parallelogram?

66% Answer Correctly
27
40
3
48

Solution

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

a = l x w
a = a x b
a = 6 x 8
a = 48


3

The dimensions of this trapezoid are a = 5, b = 7, c = 7, d = 5, and h = 4. What is the area?

51% Answer Correctly
24
18
34
12\(\frac{1}{2}\)

Solution

The area of a trapezoid is one-half the sum of the lengths of the parallel sides multiplied by the height:

a = ½(b + d)(h)
a = ½(7 + 5)(4)
a = ½(12)(4)
a = ½(48) = \( \frac{48}{2} \)
a = 24


4

Solve for z:
z2 + 2z - 35 = 0

58% Answer Correctly
6 or -6
6 or -5
5 or -7
-3 or -6

Solution

The first step to solve a quadratic equation that's set to zero is to factor the quadratic equation:

z2 + 2z - 35 = 0
(z - 5)(z + 7) = 0

For this expression to be true, the left side of the expression must equal zero. Therefore, either (z - 5) or (z + 7) must equal zero:

If (z - 5) = 0, z must equal 5
If (z + 7) = 0, z must equal -7

So the solution is that z = 5 or -7


5

The dimensions of this cube are height (h) = 8, length (l) = 9, and width (w) = 4. What is the volume?

83% Answer Correctly
189
288
25
28

Solution

The volume of a cube is height x length x width:

v = h x l x w
v = 8 x 9 x 4
v = 288
