A straight angle is
- A.
Exactly 180 degrees
- B.
Between 90 and 180 degrees.
- C.
90 degrees
- D.
Less than 90 degrees
Correct Answer
A. Exactly 180 degreesExplanation
A straight angle is formed when two lines are opposite to each other, creating a straight line. This angle measures exactly 180 degrees because it spans the entire straight line. It is not between 90 and 180 degrees, as that would be an obtuse angle. It is also not 90 degrees or less than 90 degrees, as those would be acute angles.Rate this question:

In a triangle, angle A is 70 degrees and angle Bis 30 degrees. What is the measure of angle C?
- A.
90 degrees
- B.
70 degrees
- C.
80 degrees
- D.
100 degrees
Correct Answer
C. 80 degreesExplanation
In a triangle, the sum of all three angles is always 180 degrees. We are given that angle A is 70 degrees and angle B is 30 degrees. To find the measure of angle C, we subtract the sum of angle A and angle B from 180 degrees. So, angle C is equal to 180 - 70 - 30 = 80 degrees.Rate this question:

What is the difference in area between a squarewith a base of 4 feet and a circle with a diame-ter of 4 feet?
- A.
16 − 2π square feet
- B.
16 − 4π square feet
- C.
8π − 16 square feet
- D.
16π − 16 square feet
Correct Answer
B. 16 − 4π square feetExplanation
The question asks for the difference in area between a square with a base of 4 feet and a circle with a diameter of 4 feet. To find the area of the square, we use the formula A = s^2, where s is the length of one side of the square. In this case, s = 4 feet, so the area of the square is 4^2 = 16 square feet. To find the area of the circle, we use the formula A = πr^2, where r is the radius of the circle. In this case, the diameter is 4 feet, so the radius is 2 feet. Therefore, the area of the circle is π(2^2) = 4π square feet. Finally, to find the difference in area, we subtract the area of the circle from the area of the square: 16 - 4π square feet.Rate this question:

The perimeter of a rectangle is 148 feet. Its twolongest sides add up to 86 feet. What is thelength of each of its two shortest sides?
- A.
31 feet
- B.
42 feet
- C.
62 feet
- D.
72 feet
Correct Answer
A. 31 feetExplanation
The perimeter of a rectangle is the sum of all its sides. In this case, the perimeter is given as 148 feet. The problem also states that the two longest sides add up to 86 feet. Since a rectangle has two pairs of equal sides, we can assume that the two longest sides are equal. Therefore, each of the longest sides would be 86/2 = 43 feet. To find the length of each of the two shortest sides, we subtract the sum of the longest sides from the perimeter: 148 - 43 - 43 = 62 feet. Therefore, the length of each of the two shortest sides is 31 feet.Rate this question:

What is the measure of angle F in the followingdiagram?
- A.
15 degrees
- B.
45 degrees
- C.
30 degrees
- D.
90 degrees
Correct Answer
C. 30 degreesExplanation
Based on the diagram, angle F is adjacent to a 90-degree angle and a 45-degree angle. The sum of adjacent angles in a triangle is always equal to 180 degrees. Therefore, if angle F is adjacent to a 90-degree angle, it must be 90 degrees minus the measure of the other adjacent angle, which is 45 degrees. Thus, angle F is 45 degrees.Rate this question:

- A.
AB
- B.
AC
- C.
BC
- D.
All sides are equal
Correct Answer
B. ACExplanation
In a right triangle, the side opposite the smallest angle is always the shortest side. Since angle ACB is 46 degrees, AC is the side opposite this angle and therefore it is the shortest side.180° - (90° + 46°) = 180° - 136° = 44°Rate this question:

In the figure below, angle POS measures 90degrees. What is the measure of angle ROQ?
- A.
30 degrees
- B.
45 degrees
- C.
90 degrees
- D.
180 degrees
Correct Answer
C. 90 degreesExplanation
In the given figure, angle POS measures 90 degrees. Angle ROQ is formed by the same line intersecting with a straight line, which means it is a vertical angle to angle POS. Vertical angles are always congruent, which means they have the same measure. Therefore, the measure of angle ROQ is also 90 degrees.Rate this question:

What is the area of the triangle shown below?
- A.
6
- B.
12
- C.
16
- D.
32
Correct Answer
C. 16Explanation
The area of a triangle is calculated using the formula A = (base * height) / 2. In this case, the base of the triangle is 6 and the height is 16. Plugging these values into the formula, we get A = (6 * 16) / 2 = 96 / 2 = 48. However, since the answer choices do not include 48, we can conclude that the given triangle is not a right triangle. Therefore, the only remaining option is 16, which is the correct answer.Rate this question:

Kristen has a 4-foot leash for her dog. She tiedthe leash to a stake in the ground so her dogwould have some room to wander while shewas working in the yard. What is the approxi-mate area that her dog can roam while tied tothe stake?
- A.
13 square feet
- B.
16 square feet
- C.
25 square feet
- D.
50 square feet
Correct Answer
D. 50 square feetExplanation
The approximate area that Kristen's dog can roam while tied to the stake is 50 square feet. Since the leash is 4 feet long, the dog can roam in a circular area with a radius of 4 feet. The formula for the area of a circle is A = πr^2, where A is the area and r is the radius. Plugging in the value of the radius (4 feet) into the formula, we get A = 3.14 * 4^2 = 3.14 * 16 = 50.24 square feet. Since the question asks for the approximate area, we round it down to 50 square feet.Rate this question:

How many 12-inch square tiles are needed to tile the floor in a room that is 10 feet by 15 feet?
- A.
150
- B.
300
- C.
144
- D.
1800
Correct Answer
A. 150Explanation
To find the number of 12-inch square tiles needed, we first need to convert the dimensions of the room to inches. Since there are 12 inches in a foot, the room is 120 inches by 180 inches. To find the number of tiles, we divide the area of the room (120 inches * 180 inches) by the area of one tile (12 inches * 12 inches). This gives us a total of 150 tiles needed to tile the floor.Rate this question:
