1

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

61% Answer Correctly

vertical, supplementary

obtuse, acute

supplementary, vertical

acute, obtuse


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).


2

If a = c = 3, b = d = 8, what is the area of this rectangle?

80% Answer Correctly
6
27
72
24

Solution

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

a = l x w
a = a x b
a = 3 x 8
a = 24


3

The dimensions of this cube are height (h) = 2, length (l) = 4, and width (w) = 7. What is the surface area?

51% Answer Correctly
72
292
66
100

Solution

The surface area of a cube is (2 x length x width) + (2 x width x height) + (2 x length x height):

sa = 2lw + 2wh + 2lh
sa = (2 x 4 x 7) + (2 x 7 x 2) + (2 x 4 x 2)
sa = (56) + (28) + (16)
sa = 100


4

If side a = 2, side b = 7, what is the length of the hypotenuse of this right triangle?

64% Answer Correctly
\( \sqrt{40} \)
\( \sqrt{89} \)
\( \sqrt{53} \)
\( \sqrt{85} \)

Solution

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

c2 = a2 + b2
c2 = 22 + 72
c2 = 4 + 49
c2 = 53
c = \( \sqrt{53} \)


5

A(n) __________ is to a parallelogram as a square is to a rectangle.

52% Answer Correctly

triangle

trapezoid

rhombus

quadrilateral


Solution

A rhombus is a parallelogram with four equal-length sides. A square is a rectangle with four equal-length sides.
