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

acute, obtuse

supplementary, vertical

obtuse, acute


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

The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 4 and radius (r) = 9. What is the surface area?

48% Answer Correctly
234π
70π
144π
84π

Solution

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

sa = 2πr2 + 2πrh
sa = 2π(92) + 2π(9 x 4)
sa = 2π(81) + 2π(36)
sa = (2 x 81)π + (2 x 36)π
sa = 162π + 72π
sa = 234π


3

Solve for b:
b + 8 < -1 - 2b

55% Answer Correctly
b < 3\(\frac{1}{2}\)
b < -3
b < 1
b < -1

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.

b + 8 < -1 - 2b
b < -1 - 2b - 8
b + 2b < -1 - 8
3b < -9
b < \( \frac{-9}{3} \)
b < -3


4

Simplify 3a x 2b.

86% Answer Correctly
6\( \frac{a}{b} \)
6a2b2
6ab
6\( \frac{b}{a} \)

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.

3a x 2b = (3 x 2) (a x b) = 6ab


5

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

58% Answer Correctly

exterior angle = sum of two adjacent interior angles

perimeter = sum of side lengths

area = ½bh

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.
