Example Questions

Example Question #221 : Geometry

A sphere has diameter 12. What is 75% of its volume?

Possible Answers:

$108 \pi$

$432 \pi$

$216 \pi$

$1,728 \pi$

Correct answer:

$216 \pi$

Explanation:

The radius of a sphere is half its diameter, which here is 12, so the radius is 6. The volume of the sphere can be calculated by setting r = 6 in the formula:

$V = \frac{4}{3} \pi r ^{3}$

$V = \frac{4}{3} \pi \cdot 6 ^{3} = \frac{4}{3} \pi \cdot 216 = 288 \pi$

75% of this is

$288 \pi \cdot \frac{75}{100} = 216 \pi$

Example Question #222 : Geometry

Find the volume of a rectangular prism with the following information:

$\\height=5 \\length=4 \\width=3$

Possible Answers:

$\frac{20}{3}$

Correct answer:

Explanation:

The formula for volume of a rectangular prism is,

V=length*width*height .

For this problem, since

$\\height=5 \\length=4 \\width=3$

the solution would be

V=5*4*3=60 .

Example Question #224 : Geometry

Triangle_a

Figure NOT drawn to scale.

If $w = 125^{\circ }$ and $x = 81^{\circ }$ , evaluate .

Possible Answers:

More information is needed to solve the problem.

$55^{\circ }$

$53^{\circ }$

$44^{\circ }$

$35^{\circ}$

Correct answer:

$44^{\circ }$

Explanation:

The measure of an exterior angle of a triangle is the sum of the measures of its remote interior angles, so

w = x + y

$y = w - x= 125 - 81 = 44^{\circ }$

Example Question #1 : How To Find An Angle In An Acute / Obtuse Triangle

Triangle_a

Figure NOT drawn to scale.

If $x = 72^{\circ }$ and $y = 43^{\circ }$ , evaluate .

Possible Answers:

$65^{\circ}$

$108^{\circ}$

$125^{\circ }$

$137^{\circ}$

$115^{\circ }$

Correct answer:

$115^{\circ }$

Explanation:

The measure of an exterior angle of a triangle is the sum of the measures of its remote interior angles, so

$w = x + y = 72 + 43 = 115 ^{\circ }$

Example Question #225 : Geometry

If the vertex angle of an isoceles triangle is $64^{\circ}$ , what is the value of one of its base angles?

Possible Answers:

$64^{\circ}$

$116^{\circ}$

$36^{\circ}$

$58^{\circ}$

$26^{\circ}$

Correct answer:

$58^{\circ}$

Explanation:

In an isosceles triangle, the base angles are the same. Also, the three angles of a triangle add up to $180^{\circ}$ .

So, subtract the vertex angle from $180^{\circ}$ . You get $116^{\circ}$ .

Because there are two base angles you divide $116^{\circ}$ by , and you get $58^{\circ}$ .

Example Question #1411 : Concepts

Triangle

Note: Figure NOT drawn to scale.

Refer to the above diagram.

$45^{\circ } \leq m \angle 1 \leq 50^{\circ }$

$60^{\circ } \leq m \angle 2 \leq 70 ^{\circ }$

Which of the following could be a measure of $\angle 3$ ?

Possible Answers:

$125^{\circ }$

$100^{\circ }$

$130^{\circ }$

All of the other choices give a possible measure of $\angle 3$ .

$110^{\circ }$

Correct answer:

$110^{\circ }$

Explanation:

The measure of an exterior angle of a triangle is the sum of the measures of its remote interior angles, so

$\angle 3 = \angle 1 + \angle 2$ .

We also have the following constraints:

$45^{\circ } \leq m \angle 1 \leq 50^{\circ }$

$60^{\circ } \leq m \angle 2 \leq 70 ^{\circ }$

Then, by the addition property of inequalities,

$45^{\circ } + 60 ^{\circ }\leq m \angle 1 +m \angle 2 \leq 50^{\circ } + 70 ^{\circ }$

$105 ^{\circ }\leq m \angle 3 \leq 120^{\circ }$

Therefore, the measure of $\angle 3$ must fall in that range. Of the given choices, only $110^{\circ }$ falls in that range.

Example Question #2 : How To Find An Angle In An Acute / Obtuse Triangle

Triangle

Refer to the above diagram.

$45^{\circ } \leq m \angle 1 \leq 50^{\circ }$

$130^{\circ } \leq m \angle 3 \leq 140 ^{\circ }$

Which of the following could be a measure of $\angle 2$ ?

Possible Answers:

$85 ^{\circ }$

All of the other responses are correct.

$95 ^{\circ }$

$80 ^{\circ }$

$90 ^{\circ }$

Correct answer:

All of the other responses are correct.

Explanation:

The measure of an exterior angle of a triangle is the sum of the measures of its remote interior angles, so

$\angle 3 = \angle 1 + \angle 2$

$\angle 2 = \angle 3 - \angle 1$

Therefore, the maximum value of $\angle 2$ is the least possible value of $\angle 1$ subtracted from the greatest possible value of $\angle 3$ :

$140^{\circ } - 45^{\circ } = 95 ^{\circ }$

The minimum value of $\angle 2$ is the greatest possible value of $\angle 1$ subtracted from the least possible value of $\angle 3$ :

$130^{\circ } - 50^{\circ } = 80 ^{\circ }$

Therefore,

$80^{\circ } \leq \angle 2 \leq 95^{\circ }$

Since all of the choices fall in this range, all are possible measures of $\angle 2$ .

Example Question #1 : How To Find An Angle In A Right Triangle

One angle of a right triangle has measure $120^{\circ }$ . Give the measures of the other two angles.

Possible Answers:

$90^{\circ }, 120^{\circ }$

$30^{\circ }, 90^{\circ }$

$30^{\circ }, 30^{\circ }$

This triangle cannot exist.

$120^{\circ }, 120^{\circ }$

Correct answer:

This triangle cannot exist.

Explanation:

A right triangle must have one right angle and two acute angles; this means that no angle of a right triangle can be obtuse. But since $120^{\circ } > 90^{\circ }$ , it is obtuse. This makes it impossible for a right triangle to have a $120^{\circ }$ angle.

Example Question #1 : How To Find An Angle In A Right Triangle

One angle of a right triangle has measure $68^{\circ }$ . Give the measures of the other two angles.

Possible Answers:

This triangle cannot exist.

$44^{\circ },68^{\circ }$

$56^{\circ },56^{\circ }$

$22^{\circ }, 90^{\circ }$

$52^{\circ }, 60^{\circ }$

Correct answer:

$22^{\circ }, 90^{\circ }$

Explanation:

One of the angles of a right triangle is by definition a right, or $90^{\circ }$ , angle, so this is the measure of one of the missing angles. Since the measures of the angles of a triangle total $180^{\circ }$ , if we let the measure of the third angle be , then:

x + 68 + 90 = 180

x + 158 = 180

x + 158 - 158= 180 - 158

x = 22

The other two angles measure $22 ^{\circ }, 90^{\circ }$ .
