If angle a = 59° and angle b = 24° what is the length of angle d?
| 121° | |
| 157° | |
| 145° | |
| 126° |
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° - 59° - 24° = 97°
So, d° = 24° + 97° = 121°
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° - 59° = 121°
If the area of this square is 49, what is the length of one of the diagonals?
| \( \sqrt{2} \) | |
| 2\( \sqrt{2} \) | |
| 7\( \sqrt{2} \) | |
| 3\( \sqrt{2} \) |
To find the diagonal we need to know the length of one of the square's sides. We know the area and the area of a square is the length of one side squared:
a = s2
so the length of one side of the square is:
s = \( \sqrt{a} \) = \( \sqrt{49} \) = 7
The Pythagorean theorem defines the square of the hypotenuse (diagonal) of a triangle with a right angle as the sum of the squares of the other two sides:
c2 = a2 + b2
c2 = 72 + 72
c2 = 98
c = \( \sqrt{98} \) = \( \sqrt{49 x 2} \) = \( \sqrt{49} \) \( \sqrt{2} \)
c = 7\( \sqrt{2} \)
If a = c = 8, b = d = 1, and the blue angle = 56°, what is the area of this parallelogram?
| 12 | |
| 10 | |
| 8 | |
| 42 |
The area of a parallelogram is equal to its length x width:
a = l x w
a = a x b
a = 8 x 1
a = 8
If the base of this triangle is 1 and the height is 9, what is the area?
| 38\(\frac{1}{2}\) | |
| 105 | |
| 15 | |
| 4\(\frac{1}{2}\) |
The area of a triangle is equal to ½ base x height:
a = ½bh
a = ½ x 1 x 9 = \( \frac{9}{2} \) = 4\(\frac{1}{2}\)
If angle a = 35° and angle b = 30° what is the length of angle c?
| 97° | |
| 115° | |
| 86° | |
| 106° |
The sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°:
180° = a° + b° + c°
c° = 180° - a° - b°
c° = 180° - 35° - 30° = 115°
