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

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).


2

Solve for z:
6z - 4 > 3 - 6z

55% Answer Correctly
z > 1\(\frac{1}{7}\)
z > 1\(\frac{1}{3}\)
z > \(\frac{7}{12}\)
z > 1\(\frac{2}{7}\)

Solution

To solve this equation, repeatedly do the same thing to both sides of the equation until the variable is isolated on one side of the > sign and the answer on the other.

6z - 4 > 3 - 6z
6z > 3 - 6z + 4
6z + 6z > 3 + 4
12z > 7
z > \( \frac{7}{12} \)
z > \(\frac{7}{12}\)


3

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

58% Answer Correctly

exterior angle = sum of two adjacent interior angles

sum of interior angles = 180°

area = ½bh

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

If a = 5, b = 6, c = 3, and d = 7, what is the perimeter of this quadrilateral?

89% Answer Correctly
14
17
21
19

Solution

Perimeter is equal to the sum of the four sides:

p = a + b + c + d
p = 5 + 6 + 3 + 7
p = 21


5

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

52% Answer Correctly

triangle

rhombus

quadrilateral

trapezoid


Solution

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