This diagram represents two parallel lines with a transversal. If x° = 151, what is the value of c°?

73% Answer Correctly
20
153
29
141

Solution

For parallel lines with a transversal, the following relationships apply:

  • angles in the same position on different parallel lines equal each other (a° = w°, b° = x°, c° = z°, d° = y°)
  • alternate interior angles are equal (a° = z°, b° = y°, c° = w°, d° = x°)
  • 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°)

Applying these relationships starting with x° = 151, the value of c° is 29.


2

Which of the following statements about math operations is incorrect?

70% Answer Correctly

all of these statements are correct

you can subtract monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent

you can multiply monomials that have different variables and different exponents

you can add monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent


Solution

You can only add or subtract monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent. For example, 2a + 4a = 6a and 4a2 - a2 = 3a2 but 2a + 4b and 7a - 3b cannot be combined. However, you can multiply and divide monomials with unlike terms. For example, 2a x 6b = 12ab.


3

Which of the following statements about a triangle is not true?

57% Answer Correctly

exterior angle = sum of two adjacent interior angles

area = ½bh

perimeter = sum of side lengths

sum of interior angles = 180°


Solution

A triangle is a three-sided polygon. It has three interior angles that add up to 180° (a + b + c = 180°). An exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the two interior angles that are opposite (d = b + c). The perimeter of a triangle is equal to the sum of the lengths of its three sides, the height of a triangle is equal to the length from the base to the opposite vertex (angle) and the area equals one-half triangle base x height: a = ½ base x height.


4

A coordinate grid is composed of which of the following?

88% Answer Correctly

x-axis

all of these

origin

y-axis


Solution

The coordinate grid is composed of a horizontal x-axis and a vertical y-axis. The center of the grid, where the x-axis and y-axis meet, is called the origin.

Solve for a:
-a + 6 < -4 - 4a

55% Answer Correctly
a < \(\frac{1}{2}\)
a < -2\(\frac{2}{3}\)
a < -3\(\frac{1}{3}\)
a < -\(\frac{5}{7}\)

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.

-a + 6 < -4 - 4a
-a < -4 - 4a - 6
-a + 4a < -4 - 6
3a < -10
a < \( \frac{-10}{3} \)
a < -3\(\frac{1}{3}\)
