1

If angle a = 37° and angle b = 49° what is the length of angle c?

71% Answer Correctly
94°
66°
52°
126°

Solution

The sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°:
180° = a° + b° + c°
c° = 180° - a° - b°
c° = 180° - 37° - 49° = 94°


2

If b = 1 and y = 3, what is the value of -b(b - y)?

68% Answer Correctly
165
2
-810
360

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.)

-b(b - y)
-1(1)(1 - 3)
-1(1)(-2)
(-1)(-2)
2


3

Which of the following statements about math operations is incorrect?

70% Answer Correctly

you can add monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent

you can subtract monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent

you can multiply monomials that have different variables and different exponents

all of these statements are correct


Solution

You can only add or subtract monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent. For example, 2a + 4a = 6a and 4a2 - a2 = 3a2 but 2a + 4b and 7a - 3b cannot be combined. However, you can multiply and divide monomials with unlike terms. For example, 2a x 6b = 12ab.


4

Solve for c:
-3c + 1 = 6 + 2c

58% Answer Correctly
-2
1
-1
-1\(\frac{1}{3}\)

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 equal sign and the answer on the other.

-3c + 1 = 6 + 2c
-3c = 6 + 2c - 1
-3c - 2c = 6 - 1
-5c = 5
c = \( \frac{5}{-5} \)
c = -1


5

If side x = 15cm, side y = 5cm, and side z = 11cm what is the perimeter of this triangle?

84% Answer Correctly
25cm
28cm
35cm
31cm

Solution

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

p = x + y + z
p = 15cm + 5cm + 11cm = 31cm
