If angle a = 42° and angle b = 32° what is the length of angle d?

56% Answer Correctly
131°
119°
138°
142°

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° - 42° - 32° = 106°

So, d° = 32° + 106° = 138°

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° - 42° = 138°


2

If angle a = 38° and angle b = 64° what is the length of angle c?

71% Answer Correctly
103°
78°
70°
116°

Solution

The sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°:
180° = a° + b° + c°
c° = 180° - a° - b°
c° = 180° - 38° - 64° = 78°


3

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

92% Answer Correctly

addition

division

exponents

pairs


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

Simplify (8a)(2ab) + (5a2)(8b).

66% Answer Correctly
-24a2b
56a2b
130ab2
-24ab2

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.

(8a)(2ab) + (5a2)(8b)
(8 x 2)(a x a x b) + (5 x 8)(a2 x b)
(16)(a1+1 x b) + (40)(a2b)
16a2b + 40a2b
56a2b


5

Which of the following is not required to define the slope-intercept equation for a line?

42% Answer Correctly

slope

x-intercept

y-intercept

\({\Delta y \over \Delta x}\)


Solution

A line on the coordinate grid can be defined by a slope-intercept equation: y = mx + b. For a given value of x, the value of y can be determined given the slope (m) and y-intercept (b) of the line. The slope of a line is change in y over change in x, \({\Delta y \over \Delta x}\), and the y-intercept is the y-coordinate where the line crosses the vertical y-axis.
