If angle a = 46° and angle b = 30° what is the length of angle d?

56% Answer Correctly
134°
155°
160°
119°

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° - 46° - 30° = 104°

So, d° = 30° + 104° = 134°

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° - 46° = 134°


2

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

74% Answer Correctly

right, obtuse, acute

acute, right, obtuse

right, acute, 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°.


3

The dimensions of this cube are height (h) = 5, length (l) = 4, and width (w) = 3. What is the volume?

82% Answer Correctly
27
60
168
72

Solution

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

v = h x l x w
v = 5 x 4 x 3
v = 60


4

Solve for c:
c2 - 9c + 5 = c - 4

48% Answer Correctly
5 or 5
1 or 9
9 or 8
-6 or -9

Solution

The first step to solve a quadratic expression that's not set to zero is to solve the equation so that it is set to zero:

c2 - 9c + 5 = c - 4
c2 - 9c + 5 + 4 = c
c2 - 9c - c + 9 = 0
c2 - 10c + 9 = 0

Next, factor the quadratic equation:

c2 - 10c + 9 = 0
(c - 1)(c - 9) = 0

For this expression to be true, the left side of the expression must equal zero. Therefore, either (c - 1) or (c - 9) must equal zero:

If (c - 1) = 0, c must equal 1
If (c - 9) = 0, c must equal 9

So the solution is that c = 1 or 9


5

If angle a = 36° and angle b = 51° what is the length of angle c?

70% Answer Correctly
105°
93°
82°
99°

Solution

The sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°:
180° = a° + b° + c°
c° = 180° - a° - b°
c° = 180° - 36° - 51° = 93°
