This diagram represents two parallel lines with a transversal. If b° = 143, what is the value of z°?

73% Answer Correctly
23
155
37
152

Solution

For parallel lines with a transversal, the following relationships apply:

  • angles in the same position on different parallel lines equal each other (a° = w°, b° = x°, c° = z°, d° = y°)
  • alternate interior angles are equal (a° = z°, b° = y°, c° = w°, d° = x°)
  • 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°)

Applying these relationships starting with b° = 143, the value of z° is 37.


2

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

54% Answer Correctly

isosceles and right

equilateral, isosceles and right

equilateral and isosceles

equilateral 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.


3

What is the area of a circle with a radius of 4?

70% Answer Correctly
49π
16π

Solution

The formula for area is πr2:

a = πr2
a = π(42)
a = 16π


4

If angle a = 51° and angle b = 29° what is the length of angle c?

71% Answer Correctly
45°
100°
72°
48°

Solution

The sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°:
180° = a° + b° + c°
c° = 180° - a° - b°
c° = 180° - 51° - 29° = 100°


5

If side a = 8, side b = 9, what is the length of the hypotenuse of this right triangle?

64% Answer Correctly
10
\( \sqrt{80} \)
\( \sqrt{106} \)
\( \sqrt{145} \)

Solution

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

c2 = a2 + b2
c2 = 82 + 92
c2 = 64 + 81
c2 = 145
c = \( \sqrt{145} \)
