1

A(n) __________ is to a parallelogram as a square is to a rectangle.

52% Answer Correctly

quadrilateral

triangle

rhombus

trapezoid


Solution

A rhombus is a parallelogram with four equal-length sides. A square is a rectangle with four equal-length sides.


2

Breaking apart a quadratic expression into a pair of binomials is called:

75% Answer Correctly

deconstructing

squaring

factoring

normalizing


Solution

To factor a quadratic expression, apply the FOIL (First, Outside, Inside, Last) method in reverse.


3

Which types of triangles will always have at least two sides of equal length?

55% Answer Correctly

equilateral and isosceles

equilateral and right

isosceles and right

equilateral, isosceles and right


Solution

An isosceles triangle has two sides of equal length. An equilateral triangle has three sides of equal length. In a right triangle, two sides meet at a right angle.


4

If angle a = 35° and angle b = 22° what is the length of angle d?

56% Answer Correctly
119°
110°
142°
145°

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° - 35° - 22° = 123°

So, d° = 22° + 123° = 145°

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° - 35° = 145°

This diagram represents two parallel lines with a transversal. If z° = 22, what is the value of c°?

73% Answer Correctly
24
22
152
39

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 z° = 22, the value of c° is 22.
