1

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

55% Answer Correctly

equilateral and isosceles

equilateral and right

equilateral, isosceles and right

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.


2

If angle a = 47° and angle b = 39° what is the length of angle d?

56% Answer Correctly
137°
131°
133°
122°

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° - 39° = 94°

So, d° = 39° + 94° = 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°


3

If side x = 13cm, side y = 13cm, and side z = 10cm what is the perimeter of this triangle?

85% Answer Correctly
36cm
29cm
30cm
21cm

Solution

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

p = x + y + z
p = 13cm + 13cm + 10cm = 36cm


4

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

obtuse, acute

vertical, supplementary

supplementary, vertical

acute, obtuse


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).


5

The dimensions of this cube are height (h) = 7, length (l) = 1, and width (w) = 3. What is the volume?

83% Answer Correctly
21
96
72
48

Solution

The volume of a cube is height x length x width:

v = h x l x w
v = 7 x 1 x 3
v = 21
