A triangle has angles measuring 45° and 65°. What is the measure of the third angle?
Answer: 70°
The sum of interior angles in a triangle is 180°, so 180 − 45 − 65 = 70°.
Which of the following best describes a quadrilateral with exactly one pair of parallel sides?
Answer: Trapezoid
A trapezoid has exactly one pair of parallel sides, distinguishing it from parallelograms.
A circle has a diameter of 10 cm. What is its circumference? (Use π ≈ 3.14)
Answer: 31.4 cm
Circumference = π × d = 3.14 × 10 = 31.4 cm.
Two lines are cut by a transversal. If alternate interior angles are equal, the lines are:
Answer: Parallel
Equal alternate interior angles are a property of parallel lines cut by a transversal.
A rectangular room is 12 ft long and 9 ft wide. What is the length of the diagonal?
Answer: 15 ft
Using the Pythagorean theorem: √(12² + 9²) = √(144 + 81) = √225 = 15 ft.
What is the area of a parallelogram with a base of 8 m and a height of 5 m?
Answer: 40 m²
Area of a parallelogram = base × height = 8 × 5 = 40 m².
A right angle measures exactly:
Answer: 90°
By definition, a right angle measures exactly 90°.
