What is the sum of the measures, in degrees, of the interior angles of a 16-sided polygon?
- A.
360°
- B.
2520°
- C.
2880°
- D.
22.5°
Correct Answer
B. 2520°Explanation
A polygon with n sides has n-2 interior angles. Therefore, a 16-sided polygon has 16-2=14 interior angles. The sum of the measures of the interior angles of a polygon can be found using the formula (n-2) * 180°. Plugging in n=16, we get (16-2) * 180° = 14 * 180° = 2520°.Rate this question:

What is the measure of each exterior angle in a regular nonagon?
- A.
40°
- B.
360°
- C.
0°
- D.
1260°
Correct Answer
A. 40°Explanation
The measure of each exterior angle in a regular nonagon is 40°. In a regular polygon, all exterior angles are congruent, meaning they have the same measure. Since a nonagon has 9 sides, the sum of all exterior angles is 360°. To find the measure of each exterior angle, we divide the sum by the number of sides, which gives us 40°.Rate this question:

What is the measure of angle 1 in the parallelogram below?
- A.
180°
- B.
306°
- C.
54°
- D.
126°
Correct Answer
D. 126°Explanation
In a parallelogram, opposite angles are congruent. Since angle 1 is opposite to angle 3, which measures 54°, angle 1 must also measure 54°. Additionally, the sum of the measures of the interior angles of a parallelogram is always 360°. Since angle 3 measures 54°, the sum of angle 1 and angle 3 is 180°. Therefore, angle 1 must measure 126°.Rate this question:

- D.
28.27 in
Correct Answer
B. 18.85 inExplanation
The circumference of a circle can be found by using the formula C = 2πr, where r is the radius of the circle. In this case, the radius is given as 3 in. Plugging this value into the formula, we get C = 2π(3) = 6π. Since π is approximately equal to 3.14, the circumference is approximately equal to 6(3.14) = 18.84 in. Therefore, the closest option to this value is 18.85 in.Rate this question:

What is the area of the sector in the circle below?
- A.
26 cm^2
- B.
4 cm^2
- C.
1357.17 cm^2
- D.
150.80 cm^2
Correct Answer
D. 150.80 cm^2Explanation
The area of a sector in a circle is calculated by multiplying the central angle (in radians) by the square of the radius, and then dividing by 2. Given that the answer is 150.80 cm^2, we can assume that the radius of the circle is not given in the question. Therefore, without the radius, it is not possible to accurately calculate the area of the sector.Rate this question:

- B.
(2, -3)
- C.
(1, -1.5)
- D.
(6, 5)
Correct Answer
C. (1, -1.5)Explanation
The midpoint of a line segment is found by taking the average of the x-coordinates and the average of the y-coordinates of the endpoints. In this case, the average of the x-coordinates is (4 + (-2))/2 = 1, and the average of the y-coordinates is (1 + (-4))/2 = -1.5.

Correct Answer
C. (1, 2)Explanation
The midpoint of a segment is the point that is equidistant from both endpoints. In this case, the given segment has endpoints (2, 1) and (.5, 1). To find the midpoint, we can average the x-coordinates and the y-coordinates separately. The average of 2 and .5 is 1.25, and the average of 1 and 1 is 1. Therefore, the midpoint of the segment is (1.25, 1).Rate this question:

Correct Answer
A. 5.39Explanation
The distance between two points in a coordinate plane can be found using the distance formula, which is the square root of the sum of the squares of the differences in the x-coordinates and y-coordinates. In this case, the x-coordinate difference is 5-0 = 5, and the y-coordinate difference is -2-0 = -2. Squaring these differences gives 25 and 4, respectively. Adding these squares gives 29. Taking the square root of 29 gives approximately 5.39, which is the distance between the origin and the point (5, -2).Rate this question:

- A.
(-21, 0)
- B.
(7, 0)
- C.
(3, 0)
- D.
(0, -21)
Correct Answer
B. (7, 0)Explanation
The x-intercept of a line is the point where the line intersects the x-axis. To find the x-intercept, we set y=0 in the equation y=3x-21 and solve for x. When y=0, we have 0=3x-21. Adding 21 to both sides, we get 21=3x. Dividing both sides by 3, we find x=7. Therefore, the x-intercept of the line is (7, 0).Rate this question:
