If angle a = 29° and angle b = 62° what is the length of angle d?

56% Answer Correctly
139°
143°
151°
144°

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° - 29° - 62° = 89°

So, d° = 62° + 89° = 151°

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° - 29° = 151°


2

A quadrilateral is a shape with __________ sides.

91% Answer Correctly

2

5

4

3


Solution

A quadrilateral is a shape with four sides. The perimeter of a quadrilateral is the sum of the lengths of its four sides.


3

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

42% Answer Correctly

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

y-intercept

slope

x-intercept


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.

Solve for x:
x2 - 11x + 30 = 0

59% Answer Correctly
5 or 6
9 or -5
8 or -7
2 or -1

Solution

The first step to solve a quadratic equation that's set to zero is to factor the quadratic equation:

x2 - 11x + 30 = 0
(x - 5)(x - 6) = 0

For this expression to be true, the left side of the expression must equal zero. Therefore, either (x - 5) or (x - 6) must equal zero:

If (x - 5) = 0, x must equal 5
If (x - 6) = 0, x must equal 6

So the solution is that x = 5 or 6


5

The dimensions of this cube are height (h) = 6, length (l) = 3, and width (w) = 8. What is the volume?

83% Answer Correctly
144
378
36
160

Solution

The volume of a cube is height x length x width:

v = h x l x w
v = 6 x 3 x 8
v = 144
