1

Order the following types of angle from least number of degrees to most number of degrees.

74% Answer Correctly

right, acute, obtuse

right, obtuse, acute

acute, right, obtuse

acute, obtuse, right


Solution

An acute angle measures less than 90°, a right angle measures 90°, and an obtuse angle measures more than 90°.


2

If side a = 4, side b = 1, what is the length of the hypotenuse of this right triangle?

63% Answer Correctly
\( \sqrt{17} \)
\( \sqrt{106} \)
\( \sqrt{68} \)
\( \sqrt{8} \)

Solution

According to the Pythagorean theorem, the hypotenuse squared is equal to the sum of the two perpendicular sides squared:

c2 = a2 + b2
c2 = 42 + 12
c2 = 16 + 1
c2 = 17
c = \( \sqrt{17} \)


3

If b = -9 and y = 6, what is the value of -2b(b - y)?

68% Answer Correctly
-1377
-72
240
-270

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.)

-2b(b - y)
-2(-9)(-9 - 6)
-2(-9)(-15)
(18)(-15)
-270


4

If angle a = 20° and angle b = 63° what is the length of angle c?

70% Answer Correctly
97°
98°
103°
81°

Solution

The sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°:
180° = a° + b° + c°
c° = 180° - a° - b°
c° = 180° - 20° - 63° = 97°


5

On this circle, line segment AB is the:

70% Answer Correctly

circumference

radius

chord

diameter


Solution

A circle is a figure in which each point around its perimeter is an equal distance from the center. The radius of a circle is the distance between the center and any point along its perimeter. A chord is a line segment that connects any two points along its perimeter. The diameter of a circle is the length of a chord that passes through the center of the circle and equals twice the circle's radius (2r).
