If angle a = 48° and angle b = 33° what is the length of angle d?

56% Answer Correctly
129°
132°
150°
134°

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° - 48° - 33° = 99°

So, d° = 33° + 99° = 132°

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° - 48° = 132°


2

If a = 9 and x = 5, what is the value of -4a(a - x)?

68% Answer Correctly
54
480
36
-144

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.)

-4a(a - x)
-4(9)(9 - 5)
-4(9)(4)
(-36)(4)
-144


3

The dimensions of this cube are height (h) = 4, length (l) = 2, and width (w) = 4. What is the volume?

82% Answer Correctly
32
45
60
270

Solution

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

v = h x l x w
v = 4 x 2 x 4
v = 32


4

A(n) __________ is two expressions separated by an equal sign.

76% Answer Correctly

problem

formula

expression

equation


Solution

An equation is two expressions separated by an equal sign. The key to solving equations is to 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.


5

If BD = 14 and AD = 24, AB = ?

75% Answer Correctly
5
1
10
13

Solution

The entire length of this line is represented by AD which is AB + BD:

AD = AB + BD

Solving for AB:

AB = AD - BD
AB = 24 - 14
AB = 10
