1

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

76% Answer Correctly

acute, right, obtuse

right, acute, 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

On this circle, a line segment connecting point A to point D is called:

46% Answer Correctly

radius

chord

circumference

diameter


Solution

A circle is a figure in which each point around its perimeter is an equal distance from the center. The radius of a circle is the distance between the center and any point along its perimeter. A chord is a line segment that connects any two points along its perimeter. The diameter of a circle is the length of a chord that passes through the center of the circle and equals twice the circle's radius (2r).


3

Solve for a:
a2 + 4a - 32 = 0

59% Answer Correctly
6 or -4
4 or -8
3 or -1
5 or -6

Solution

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

a2 + 4a - 32 = 0
(a - 4)(a + 8) = 0

For this expression to be true, the left side of the expression must equal zero. Therefore, either (a - 4) or (a + 8) must equal zero:

If (a - 4) = 0, a must equal 4
If (a + 8) = 0, a must equal -8

So the solution is that a = 4 or -8


4

Simplify (2a)(3ab) - (7a2)(7b).

62% Answer Correctly
43ab2
55a2b
70ab2
-43a2b

Solution

To multiply monomials, multiply the coefficients (the numbers that come before the variables) of each term, add the exponents of like variables, and multiply the different variables together.

(2a)(3ab) - (7a2)(7b)
(2 x 3)(a x a x b) - (7 x 7)(a2 x b)
(6)(a1+1 x b) - (49)(a2b)
6a2b - 49a2b
-43a2b


5

If a = c = 6, b = d = 1, and the blue angle = 51°, what is the area of this parallelogram?

66% Answer Correctly
20
63
8
6

Solution

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

a = l x w
a = a x b
a = 6 x 1
a = 6
