If angle a = 31° and angle b = 42° what is the length of angle d?

56% Answer Correctly
134°
149°
153°
159°

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° - 31° - 42° = 107°

So, d° = 42° + 107° = 149°

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° - 31° = 149°

The dimensions of this cube are height (h) = 4, length (l) = 4, and width (w) = 5. What is the surface area?

51% Answer Correctly
82
64
112
414

Solution

The surface area of a cube is (2 x length x width) + (2 x width x height) + (2 x length x height):

sa = 2lw + 2wh + 2lh
sa = (2 x 4 x 5) + (2 x 5 x 4) + (2 x 4 x 4)
sa = (40) + (40) + (32)
sa = 112


3

The formula for the area of a circle is which of the following?

77% Answer Correctly

a = π r

a = π d

a = π r2

a = π d2


Solution

The circumference of a circle is the distance around its perimeter and equals π (approx. 3.14159) x diameter: c = π d. The area of a circle is π x (radius)2 : a = π r2.


4

Which of the following statements about parallel lines with a transversal is not correct?

36% Answer Correctly

all acute angles equal each other

all of the angles formed by a transversal are called interior angles

same-side interior angles are complementary and equal each other

angles in the same position on different parallel lines are called corresponding angles


Solution

Parallel lines are lines that share the same slope (steepness) and therefore never intersect. A transversal occurs when a set of parallel lines are crossed by another line. All of the angles formed by a transversal are called interior angles and angles in the same position on different parallel lines equal each other (a° = w°, b° = x°, c° = z°, d° = y°) and are called corresponding angles. Alternate interior angles are equal (a° = z°, b° = y°, c° = w°, d° = x°) and all acute angles (a° = c° = w° = z°) and all obtuse angles (b° = d° = x° = y°) equal each other. Same-side interior angles are supplementary and add up to 180° (e.g. a° + d° = 180°, d° + c° = 180°).


5

What is the circumference of a circle with a radius of 18?

71% Answer Correctly
36π

Solution

The formula for circumference is circle diameter x π. Circle diameter is 2 x radius:

c = πd
c = π(2 * r)
c = π(2 * 18)
c = 36π
