1

If angle a = 41° and angle b = 68° what is the length of angle d?

56% Answer Correctly
151°
139°
156°
138°

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° - 41° - 68° = 71°

So, d° = 68° + 71° = 139°

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° - 41° = 139°


2

Which of the following expressions contains exactly two terms?

82% Answer Correctly

polynomial

monomial

binomial

quadratic


Solution

A monomial contains one term, a binomial contains two terms, and a polynomial contains more than two terms.


3

The formula for the area of a circle is which of the following?

24% Answer Correctly

c = π r2

c = π d2

c = π d

c = π r


Solution

The circumference of a circle is the distance around its perimeter and equals π (approx. 3.14159) x diameter: c = π d. The area of a circle is π x (radius)2 : a = π r2.


4

If side a = 4, side b = 3, what is the length of the hypotenuse of this right triangle?

64% Answer Correctly
\( \sqrt{106} \)
\( \sqrt{80} \)
5
10

Solution

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

c2 = a2 + b2
c2 = 42 + 32
c2 = 16 + 9
c2 = 25
c = \( \sqrt{25} \)
c = 5


5
