If angle a = 20° and angle b = 58° what is the length of angle d?

56% Answer Correctly
117°
145°
160°
139°

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° - 20° - 58° = 102°

So, d° = 58° + 102° = 160°

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° - 20° = 160°


2

A coordinate grid is composed of which of the following?

88% Answer Correctly

x-axis

origin

all of these

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.


3

The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 9 and radius (r) = 2. What is the volume?

62% Answer Correctly
75π
180π
36π
288π

Solution

The volume of a cylinder is πr2h:

v = πr2h
v = π(22 x 9)
v = 36π


4

The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 6 and radius (r) = 9. What is the surface area?

48% Answer Correctly
60π
270π
182π
36π

Solution

The surface area of a cylinder is 2πr2 + 2πrh:

sa = 2πr2 + 2πrh
sa = 2π(92) + 2π(9 x 6)
sa = 2π(81) + 2π(54)
sa = (2 x 81)π + (2 x 54)π
sa = 162π + 108π
sa = 270π


5

The formula for the area of a circle is which of the following?

77% Answer Correctly

a = π d

a = π d2

a = π r2

a = π r


Solution

The circumference of a circle is the distance around its perimeter and equals π (approx. 3.14159) x diameter: c = π d. The area of a circle is π x (radius)2 : a = π r2.
