Use what you know about angles to solve for angle y.
- A.
180 degrees
- B.
13 degrees
- C.
90 degrees
- D.
103 degrees
Correct Answer
D. 103 degreesExplanation
Angle y can be solved by using the fact that the sum of the angles in a triangle is equal to 180 degrees. Since we are given that angle y is part of a triangle and the other two angles are 13 degrees and 90 degrees, we can subtract the sum of these two angles from 180 degrees to find angle y. Therefore, angle y is equal to 180 degrees - 13 degrees - 90 degrees = 77 degrees. However, the given answer is 103 degrees, which contradicts our calculation. Therefore, the given answer is incorrect or there may be some missing information.Rate this question:

Use what you know about angles to solve for the missing angle.
- A.
20 degrees
- B.
45 degrees
- C.
110 degrees
- D.
180 degrees
Correct Answer
A. 20 degreesExplanation
The given answer is 20 degrees because if we add up all the angles in a triangle, the sum should be 180 degrees. Since two angles are already given as 45 degrees and 110 degrees, the third angle can be found by subtracting the sum of these two angles from 180 degrees. Therefore, 180 - 45 - 110 = 25 degrees. However, since the question states that the missing angle is less than 45 degrees, the only possible answer is 20 degrees.Rate this question:

Which of the following is a true statement?
- A.
An acute triangle has exactly 3 acute angles.
- B.
A right triangle has exactly 2 right angles.
- C.
A right triangle always has 1 obtuse angle.
- D.
An obtuse triangle has exactly 2 obtuse angles.
Correct Answer
A. An acute triangle has exactly 3 acute angles.Explanation
An acute triangle is defined as a triangle that has all three angles measuring less than 90 degrees. Since an angle is considered acute if it measures less than 90 degrees, it follows that an acute triangle will have all three angles measuring less than 90 degrees. Therefore, the statement "An acute triangle has exactly 3 acute angles" is true.Rate this question:

- A.
Isosceles triangle
- B.
Scalene triangle
- C.
Right triangle
- D.
Equilateral triangle
Correct Answer
B. Scalene triangleExplanation
The given clues state that the triangle has exactly one obtuse angle and no congruent sides. An obtuse angle is an angle greater than 90 degrees. A scalene triangle is a triangle with no congruent sides, meaning all three sides have different lengths. Therefore, a scalene triangle could be the one described in the clues.Rate this question:

Which geometric figure has exactly one pair of parallel sides?
- A.
Rhombus
- B.
Square
- C.
Trapezoid
- D.
Parallelogram
Correct Answer
C. TrapezoidExplanation
A trapezoid is a geometric figure that has exactly one pair of parallel sides. The parallel sides are called bases, and the other two sides are called legs. The bases of a trapezoid never intersect each other, while the legs may or may not be equal in length. This distinguishes a trapezoid from other geometric figures such as a rhombus, square, or parallelogram, which have more than one pair of parallel sides or equal side lengths. Therefore, the correct answer is trapezoid.Rate this question:

Which statement is true?
- A.
All rectangles are squares.
- B.
All trapezoids are parallelograms.
- C.
All parallelograms are rectangles.
- D.
All squares are rhombi.
Correct Answer
D. All squares are rhombi.Explanation
All squares are rhombi because a square is a special type of rhombus where all four sides are equal in length and all four angles are right angles. A rhombus, on the other hand, is a quadrilateral with all four sides equal in length, but its angles are not necessarily right angles. Therefore, every square can be considered a rhombus, but not every rhombus can be considered a square.Rate this question:

Which statement describes the parallelogram show below?
- A.
Opposite sides are parallel.
- B.
All angles are right angles.
- C.
Exactly one pair of sides is parallel.
- D.
Adjacent sides are perpendicular.
Correct Answer
A. Opposite sides are parallel.Explanation
The given statement "Opposite sides are parallel" accurately describes a parallelogram. In a parallelogram, opposite sides are always parallel to each other. This is a defining characteristic of a parallelogram and distinguishes it from other quadrilaterals. The other statements are not true for all parallelograms. Some parallelograms may have right angles, but not all of them do. Additionally, not all parallelograms have exactly one pair of parallel sides or adjacent sides that are perpendicular.Rate this question:

- A.
DB
- B.
DC
- C.
BA
- D.
BC
Correct Answer
B. DCExplanation
The line segment DC appears to be a diameter of the circle because it passes through the center point B and extends to the opposite side of the circle, dividing it into two equal halves. This is a characteristic of a diameter, which is a line segment that passes through the center of a circle and connects two points on its circumference.Rate this question:

In the figure below, point D is the center of the circle. Which of the following is not a chord of the circle?
- A.
DC
- B.
AB
- C.
EF
- D.
FE
Correct Answer
A. DCExplanation
In the given figure, point D is the center of the circle. A chord is a line segment that connects two points on the circumference of a circle. DC is not a chord of the circle because it connects the center of the circle (D) to a point on the circumference (C), rather than connecting two points on the circumference. Therefore, DC is not a chord of the circle.Rate this question:

Michael drew a circle with point M as the center. Which measure of the circle has the greatest length?
- A.
The diameter of the circle
- B.
The radius of the circle
- C.
The circumference of the circle
- D.
A chord that passes through point M
Correct Answer
C. The circumference of the circleExplanation
The circumference of a circle is the distance around its outer edge. It can be found by multiplying the diameter of the circle by pi (π). The diameter is a line segment that passes through the center of the circle and has endpoints on the circle. Therefore, the circumference is the longest measurement of the circle as it includes all points on the outer edge. The radius is the distance from the center of the circle to any point on the circle, and a chord that passes through point M is a line segment that connects two points on the circle, but it may not necessarily be the longest measurement.Rate this question:
