1

Order the following types of angle from least number of degrees to most number of degrees.

75% Answer Correctly

acute, right, obtuse

acute, obtuse, right

right, obtuse, acute

right, acute, obtuse


Solution

An acute angle measures less than 90°, a right angle measures 90°, and an obtuse angle measures more than 90°.


2

Solve -8a + 2a = 3a + 2y + 3 for a in terms of y.

34% Answer Correctly
y - \(\frac{1}{3}\)
11y + 2
y - \(\frac{3}{11}\)
-4\(\frac{1}{2}\)y + 4

Solution

To solve this equation, isolate the variable for which you are solving (a) on one side of the equation and put everything else on the other side.

-8a + 2y = 3a + 2y + 3
-8a = 3a + 2y + 3 - 2y
-8a - 3a = 2y + 3 - 2y
-11a = + 3
a = \( \frac{ + 3}{-11} \)
a = \( \frac{}{-11} \) + \( \frac{3}{-11} \)
a = y - \(\frac{3}{11}\)


3

If a = -3 and y = 8, what is the value of -9a(a - y)?

68% Answer Correctly
-70
-144
-288
-297

Solution

To solve this equation, replace the variables with the values given and then solve the now variable-free equation. (Remember order of operations, PEMDAS, Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication/Division, Addition/Subtraction.)

-9a(a - y)
-9(-3)(-3 - 8)
-9(-3)(-11)
(27)(-11)
-297


4

What is 2a - 8a?

79% Answer Correctly
a2
16a
-6a
10a2

Solution

To combine like terms, add or subtract the coefficients (the numbers that come before the variables) of terms that have the same variable raised to the same exponent.

2a - 8a = -6a


5

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

49% Answer Correctly

the area of a parallelogram is base x height

opposite sides and adjacent angles are equal

the perimeter of a parallelogram is the sum of the lengths of all sides

a parallelogram is a quadrilateral


Solution

A parallelogram is a quadrilateral with two sets of parallel sides. Opposite sides (a = c, b = d) and angles (red = red, blue = blue) are equal. The area of a parallelogram is base x height and the perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all sides (a + b + c + d).
