1

If a = c = 8, b = d = 9, and the blue angle = 72°, what is the area of this parallelogram?

65% Answer Correctly
42
72
63
54

Solution

The area of a parallelogram is equal to its length x width:

a = l x w
a = a x b
a = 8 x 9
a = 72


2

If b = 8 and x = -2, what is the value of 4b(b - x)?

68% Answer Correctly
320
-48
-8
-120

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.)

4b(b - x)
4(8)(8 + 2)
4(8)(10)
(32)(10)
320


3

When two lines intersect, adjacent angles are __________ (they add up to 180°) and angles across from either other are __________ (they're equal).

60% Answer Correctly

supplementary, vertical

acute, obtuse

obtuse, acute

vertical, supplementary


Solution

Angles around a line add up to 180°. Angles around a point add up to 360°. When two lines intersect, adjacent angles are supplementary (they add up to 180°) and angles across from either other are vertical (they're equal).


4

If a = 1, b = 2, c = 3, and d = 5, what is the perimeter of this quadrilateral?

88% Answer Correctly
11
27
18
26

Solution

Perimeter is equal to the sum of the four sides:

p = a + b + c + d
p = 1 + 2 + 3 + 5
p = 11


5

Which of the following statements about parallel lines with a transversal is not correct?

36% Answer Correctly

angles in the same position on different parallel lines are called corresponding angles

all of the angles formed by a transversal are called interior angles

same-side interior angles are complementary and equal each other

all acute angles equal each other


Solution

Parallel lines are lines that share the same slope (steepness) and therefore never intersect. A transversal occurs when a set of parallel lines are crossed by another line. All of the angles formed by a transversal are called interior angles and angles in the same position on different parallel lines equal each other (a° = w°, b° = x°, c° = z°, d° = y°) and are called corresponding angles. Alternate interior angles are equal (a° = z°, b° = y°, c° = w°, d° = x°) and 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°).
