1

If angle a = 21° and angle b = 29° what is the length of angle c?

71% Answer Correctly
92°
130°
90°
84°

Solution

The sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°:
180° = a° + b° + c°
c° = 180° - a° - b°
c° = 180° - 21° - 29° = 130°


2

Which of the following is not true about both rectangles and squares?

63% Answer Correctly

the lengths of all sides are equal

the perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all four sides

all interior angles are right angles

the area is length x width


Solution

A rectangle is a parallelogram containing four right angles. Opposite sides (a = c, b = d) are equal and the perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all sides (a + b + c + d) or, comonly, 2 x length x width. The area of a rectangle is length x width. A square is a rectangle with four equal length sides. The perimeter of a square is 4 x length of one side (4s) and the area is the length of one side squared (s2).


3

Which of the following is not a part of PEMDAS, the acronym for math order of operations?

91% Answer Correctly

addition

pairs

division

exponents


Solution

When solving an equation with two variables, 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.)


4

If side x = 5cm, side y = 13cm, and side z = 5cm what is the perimeter of this triangle?

85% Answer Correctly
23cm
41cm
37cm
30cm

Solution

The perimeter of a triangle is the sum of the lengths of its sides:

p = x + y + z
p = 5cm + 13cm + 5cm = 23cm


5

If BD = 20 and AD = 25, AB = ?

76% Answer Correctly
5
11
16
15

Solution

The entire length of this line is represented by AD which is AB + BD:

AD = AB + BD

Solving for AB:

AB = AD - BD
AB = 25 - 20
AB = 5
