1

If angle a = 64° and angle b = 53° what is the length of angle c?

71% Answer Correctly
63°
105°
72°
112°

Solution

The sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°:
180° = a° + b° + c°
c° = 180° - a° - b°
c° = 180° - 64° - 53° = 63°


2

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

64% Answer Correctly
\( \sqrt{45} \)
\( \sqrt{5} \)
\( \sqrt{85} \)
\( \sqrt{53} \)

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 = \( \sqrt{53} \)


3

Which of the following statements about a triangle is not true?

57% Answer Correctly

sum of interior angles = 180°

area = ½bh

exterior angle = sum of two adjacent interior angles

perimeter = sum of side lengths


Solution

A triangle is a three-sided polygon. It has three interior angles that add up to 180° (a + b + c = 180°). An exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the two interior angles that are opposite (d = b + c). The perimeter of a triangle is equal to the sum of the lengths of its three sides, the height of a triangle is equal to the length from the base to the opposite vertex (angle) and the area equals one-half triangle base x height: a = ½ base x height.


4

What is the circumference of a circle with a diameter of 18?

71% Answer Correctly
18π
17π
13π
14π

Solution

The formula for circumference is circle diameter x π:

c = πd
c = 18π


5

Find the value of b:
-8b + y = -5
6b - 7y = -5

42% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{4}{27}\)
\(\frac{1}{11}\)
\(\frac{4}{5}\)
\(\frac{3}{13}\)

Solution

You need to find the value of b so solve the first equation in terms of y:

-8b + y = -5
y = -5 + 8b

then substitute the result (-5 - -8b) into the second equation:

6b - 7(-5 + 8b) = -5
6b + (-7 x -5) + (-7 x 8b) = -5
6b + 35 - 56b = -5
6b - 56b = -5 - 35
-50b = -40
b = \( \frac{-40}{-50} \)
b = \(\frac{4}{5}\)
