Plane GHI
Correct Answer
D. Plane GHIExplanation
The figure is named "plane GHI" because a plane is a flat, two-dimensional surface that extends infinitely in all directions. In the given figure, GHI represents three non-collinear points, which form a plane. A line segment, line, and ray are all one-dimensional objects and do not extend infinitely in all directions like a plane does. Therefore, the correct answer is "plane GHI".Rate this question:

Describe these planes.
- A.
Parallel
- B.
Intersecting
- C.
Neither
Correct Answer
A. ParallelExplanation
The term "parallel" refers to two or more planes that do not intersect each other. In other words, they never meet or cross paths. Instead, they remain at a constant distance from each other, maintaining the same direction throughout. This can be visualized as two train tracks that run alongside each other without ever converging or diverging. Therefore, the correct answer for this question is "parallel."Rate this question:

Correct Answer
A. Yes -
- 8.
Are points L and M coplanar?
- A.
Yes
- B.
No
Correct Answer
B. NoExplanation
Points L and M are not coplanar because they do not lie on the same plane. Coplanar points are points that lie on the same plane, meaning they can be connected by a straight line without leaving the plane. However, without any additional information or context, it is not possible to determine the exact positions of points L and M and their relationship to each other.Rate this question:

Find the measurement of angle 1.* SHOW YOUR WORK *
- A.
100
- B.
80
- C.
120
Correct Answer
A. 100Explanation
To find the measurement of angle 1, we can use the fact that angles in a triangle add up to 180 degrees. Since angle 1 is part of a triangle, we can subtract the given angles (80 and 120) from 180 to find the measurement of angle 1.
180 - 80 - 120 = 100
Therefore, the measurement of angle 1 is 100 degrees.Rate this question:

Find the measurement of angle 6.
- A.
100
- B.
80
- C.
120
Correct Answer
B. 80Explanation
Angle 6 can be determined by using the property of supplementary angles. Since angle 1 and angle 6 are vertical angles, they are congruent. Angle 1 measures 100 degrees, so angle 6 also measures 100 degrees. Since angle 6 and angle 5 are supplementary angles, their measures add up to 180 degrees. Therefore, angle 5 measures 80 degrees. Since angle 5 and angle 6 are congruent, angle 6 also measures 80 degrees.Rate this question:
-

Find the measurement of angle 7.
- A.
100
- B.
80
- C.
120
Correct Answer
B. 80Explanation
Angle 7 can be found by using the property of supplementary angles. Since angle 7 and angle 3 are adjacent angles on a straight line, they are supplementary, which means they add up to 180 degrees. Therefore, angle 7 must be equal to 180 degrees minus angle 3. Since angle 3 is given as 100 degrees, angle 7 can be calculated as 180 - 100 = 80 degrees.Rate this question:

Scalene
Correct Answer
B. IsoscelesExplanation
An isosceles angle is a type of angle that has two sides of equal length. In this case, since the angle is classified as isosceles, it means that two sides of the angle are equal in length. This is different from an equilateral angle, where all three sides are equal in length, and a scalene angle, where all three sides are different lengths.Rate this question:

Find the measurement of the interior angle X.(Hint: The interior sum of a triangle is 180 degrees.)* SHOW YOUR WORK *
- A.
40
- B.
100
- C.
140
Correct Answer
A. 40Explanation
The sum of the interior angles of a triangle is always 180 degrees. Since we know that one of the interior angles of the triangle is 100 degrees, we can subtract that from 180 to find the sum of the other two angles. 180 - 100 = 80. Since the other two angles must add up to 80 degrees, and we know that one of those angles is 40 degrees, we can subtract 40 from 80 to find the measurement of the remaining angle. 80 - 40 = 40 degrees. Therefore, the measurement of interior angle X is 40 degrees.Rate this question:

- D.

Correct Answer
B. 60Explanation
To find the measurement of the exterior angle X, we need to use the fact that the sum of the measures of the exterior angles of a polygon is always 360 degrees. Since there is no information given about the polygon in the question, we can assume that it is a regular polygon. In a regular polygon, all exterior angles are congruent. Therefore, we can divide 360 degrees by the number of exterior angles to find the measurement of each exterior angle. In this case, since there are 6 possible choices for the exterior angle X, we divide 360 by 6 to get 60 degrees. Therefore, the measurement of the exterior angle X is 60 degrees.Rate this question:

One leg of a right triangle measures 6 in. The other leg measures 8 in. What is the length of the hypotenuse? Hint: Use the Pythagorean theorem: a^2 + b^2 = c^2 * SHOW YOUR WORK *
- A.
6
- B.
8
- C.

- D.
14
Correct Answer
C. 10Explanation
The Pythagorean theorem states that in a right triangle, the square of the hypotenuse (c) is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides (a and b). In this case, we have one leg measuring 6 inches (a) and the other leg measuring 8 inches (b). To find the length of the hypotenuse, we can substitute these values into the formula: 6^2 + 8^2 = c^2. Simplifying this equation gives us 36 + 64 = c^2. Adding the two values together gives us 100 = c^2. Taking the square root of both sides gives us c = 10. Therefore, the length of the hypotenuse is 10 inches.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
C. 3Explanation
Using the Pythagorean theorem, we can find the length of the other leg. The theorem states that in a right triangle, the square of the length of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other two sides. In this case, the hypotenuse measures 5 inches and one leg measures 4 inches. Let's call the length of the other leg "x". Applying the theorem, we have 4^2 + x^2 = 5^2. Simplifying this equation, we get 16 + x^2 = 25. Subtracting 16 from both sides, we get x^2 = 9. Taking the square root of both sides, we find that x = 3. Therefore, the length of the other leg is 3 inches.Rate this question:

100
- C.
75
- D.
135
- E.
80
Correct Answer
A. 95Explanation
The correct answer is 95. To find the measurement of the unknown interior angle, we can use the formula for the interior sum of a polygon, which states that the sum of all interior angles of a polygon is equal to 180 multiplied by the number of sides minus 2. Since a pentagon has 5 sides, we can substitute this value into the formula: 180 x (5 - 2) = 180 x 3 = 540. Since all the known interior angles of the pentagon add up to 540 degrees, we can find the measurement of the unknown angle by subtracting the sum of the known angles from 540. In this case, the sum of the known angles is 445 degrees (100 + 75 + 135 + 80), so the unknown angle is 540 - 445 = 95 degrees.Rate this question:
