If angle a = 47° and angle b = 28° what is the length of angle d?

56% Answer Correctly
133°
123°
135°
147°

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° - 47° - 28° = 105°

So, d° = 28° + 105° = 133°

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° - 47° = 133°


2

Simplify (4a)(7ab) - (9a2)(2b).

59% Answer Correctly
-10ab2
10a2b
121ab2
121a2b

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.

(4a)(7ab) - (9a2)(2b)
(4 x 7)(a x a x b) - (9 x 2)(a2 x b)
(28)(a1+1 x b) - (18)(a2b)
28a2b - 18a2b
10a2b


3

If a = c = 5, b = d = 3, and the blue angle = 75°, what is the area of this parallelogram?

65% Answer Correctly
15
1
28
21

Solution

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

a = l x w
a = a x b
a = 5 x 3
a = 15


4

The dimensions of this trapezoid are a = 4, b = 3, c = 5, d = 3, and h = 3. What is the area?

50% Answer Correctly
9
18
19\(\frac{1}{2}\)
17\(\frac{1}{2}\)

Solution

The area of a trapezoid is one-half the sum of the lengths of the parallel sides multiplied by the height:

a = ½(b + d)(h)
a = ½(3 + 3)(3)
a = ½(6)(3)
a = ½(18) = \( \frac{18}{2} \)
a = 9


5

Solve for c:
2c - 1 > -9 - c

54% Answer Correctly
c > -2\(\frac{2}{3}\)
c > -3\(\frac{1}{2}\)
c > -\(\frac{7}{8}\)
c > -2

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.

2c - 1 > -9 - c
2c > -9 - c + 1
2c + c > -9 + 1
3c > -8
c > \( \frac{-8}{3} \)
c > -2\(\frac{2}{3}\)
