If three of the angles in a quadrilateral are 50, 100, 110 degrees what is the measure of the fourth angle?
- A.
  
  40 degrees
- B.
  
  100 degrees
- C.
  
  130 degrees
- D.
  
  160 degrees
Correct Answer
B. 100 degrees

Explanation
The sum of the angles in a quadrilateral is always 360 degrees. Therefore, to find the measure of the fourth angle, we subtract the sum of the three given angles (50 + 100 + 110 = 260) from 360. 360 - 260 = 100 degrees.

Two sides of a triangle measure 8 centimeters and 13 centimeters. Which of the following could be the length of the third side in order for it to be an isosceles triangle?
- A.
  
  4 cm
- B.
  
  8 cm
- C.
  
  14 cm
- D.
  
  18 cm
Correct Answer
B. 8 cm

Explanation
An isosceles triangle has two sides that are equal in length. In this case, the given sides of the triangle measure 8 cm and 13 cm. To form an isosceles triangle, the third side must also be equal to one of the given sides. Therefore, the length of the third side could be 8 cm.
