Re: Geometry review

Whoops!  Where did 'y' spring from ?  I hope you mean x + x - 35 = 90.

Re: Geometry review

yup I mean x
So x is the large than the small angle is x-35

So x+x-35=90

x+x= 2x

-35+2x=90
-(-35)      -(-35)

2x=125

x = 62.5

So the measure of the larger angle is 62.5

Re: Geometry review

Yes.  In the question post (#23) you had 62.2  I assume a typo.

Re: Geometry review

I choose D because I didn't read the question correctly ammm but can I use the distance formula to get the answer ?


3. In the figure shown, line segment AC = CE  , D is the midpoint of  CE   , DE=5, and BC=2 . What is the measure of AB   ?

    A 5
    B7
    C8
    D10

Re: Geometry review

hi zee-f

I've re-made the diagram with two extras:  (i) I've put on the given distances;  (ii) I've put a pointer to the midpoints.

You see, if AC = CE, then C is the midpoint of AE, and  D is the midpoint of CE.

So start with DE = 5, and work out CE.  From that answer work out AC.

Then use  BC = 2 to finish the problem.

Re: Geometry review

DE = 5 and I know that DE is half of CE So CE would equal CD*2 So CE=10

DE=5
CD=5
CE= 10
AC= 10
So AE= 20

Re: Geometry review

If I say the distance from B to c is 2
then AB would be 10-2=8

Re: Geometry review

Correct.  Well done.

Did you find my diagram helpful?

When I get one of your questions, the first thing I do is to make a diagram to show the problem.

Give it a try.

Re: Geometry review

Yeah I sure did I drew it on my note book then found out how easy the question was smile I sure will try it next time big_smile

I corrected the following :
I choose D and it was incorrect
now I choose C

because adjacent angles are supplementary
AD = EH
FG=BC

So A= x
     b = 180 - x

So D is X F= 180-x

So the angles are supplementary because they add up to 180
4. Which statement about angle 1 and 2 must be true?

A  angle 1 is congruent to angle 2
B- 1 is the complement of  angle 2
C- angle 1 is the supplement of angle 2
D- Angle 1 and 2  are vertical angles

Re: Geometry review

I choose A and it was incorrect still confused dizzy


Ok so Obtuse Triangle has an angle that is  more than 90°  So that means only one angle is more than 90° and an isosceles triangle  has  two equal sides and two equal angles. So am thinking the last picture

5. Which triangle is an obtuse isosceles triangle?

Re: Geometry review

Ok first I choose B

My correction is :
area = (½)(apothem)(perimeter)

1/2 * 3.8 * 48 = 91.2

6. Calculate the area of the regular octagon shown.



A 21.9 square meters
B48.0 square meters
C91.2 square meters
D350.4 square meters

Re: Geometry review

I need help solving this I choose D and it was incorrect

11. Which is the contrapositive of the following statement? If quadrilateral ABCD is a rectangle, then quadrilateral ABCD is a square.

A If quadrilateral ABCD is a square, then quadrilateral ABCD is a rectangle.
B If quadrilateral ABCD is not a square, then quadrilateral ABCD is not a rectangle.
C If quadrilateral ABCD is not a rectangle, then quadrilateral ABCD is not a square.
D If quadrilateral ABCD is not a square, then quadrilateral ABCD is a rectangle.

Re: Geometry review

hi zee-f

Q6.  91.2  That's what I get too.

Q11.  Structure for a contrapositive:

If <statement A>, then <statement B>   becomes if <NOT statement B>, then <NOT statement A>.

So both statements collect a NOT, and the order of statements is reversed.

The two versions are logically the same;  because if B is NOT true, then A cannot be either (as A true implies B true).

Re: Geometry review

I thought you meant reverse the  statements

So B is the answer

Re: Geometry review

8. Select which statement is true about the relationship between the measures of angle A and angle B in the diagram shown.

A The measure of angle A is greater than the measure of angle B   .
B The measure of angle B  is greater than the measure of angle A.
C The measure of angle A  is equal to the measure of angle B   .
D Cannot be determined without any other calculations.

#8- Ok so I first choose B but I still see that my answer is correct

because the measure of the missing angle would 2.38
Then I use cosine= A/H
9/11 = 0.82
cos-¹ = 34.92

So that is angle A
90+34.92=124.92
So angle B = 180 - 124.92 = 55.08

A= 34.92
B= 55.08
C= 90

16. A right circular cylinder has a base diameter of 12 meters and a height of 16 meters. What is the approximate total lateral surface area of the cylinder?   

A 602.9 m²
B 829.4 m²
C 1507.2 m²
D 2034.7 m²

Re: Geometry review

Q8. Sorry.  B is correct.  What I was trying to say is you could have got to the answer more quickly. 
But it doesn't matter.  Correct is correct however you get there.

Q16.  Not B.

You need to imagine the curved surface 'unwrapped' so that you have a rectangle.

height = 16  length = circumference of the circle = pi times D   area = height x circumference.
