4. What is the minimum number of right angles there can be?

A8
B10
C3
D0
E 12
F 7


12. Each set of numbers below represents the measures of three angles.
Which set represent angle measures that could be found in a triangle?

A(30o, 100o, 20o)
B(36o, 42o, 65o)
C(30o, 57o, 30o)
D(44o, 63o, 73o)
E (67o, 41o, 62o)
F (29o, 131o, 40o)


19. Here are two triangles. I am trying to measure the area of triangle ABC. The formula for area of a triangle is


base*height/2.

I know the base, but I need to find the height. I know the top of triangle ABC is directly above a point 4.5 units from point A. I also know that <CAB is the same as <FDE, and that ls_DF has a length of 1, and ls_FE has a length of 1.43. What is the area of triangle ABC?


A15.26 square units
B19.31 square units
C25.37 square units
D27.16 square units
E 27.19 square units
F 13.02 square units

In the next 5 questions, we will be using the information we learned from the "paragraph proof" in the lesson to determine the sum of the inner angles of regular polygons.


15. Since a pentagon is a closed shape, what must the sum of the angles of deviation be?

A270o
B180o
C90o
D60o
E 320o
F 360o



16. Divide that number by the number of angles a pentagon has to get the degree measure of a single angle of deviation:

A2o
B359o
C471o
D72o
E 6o
F 7o



17. In the paragraph proof it says: "The inner angles of the triangle are supplementary to the angles of deviation, therefore, the sum of each inner angle and its corresponding angle of deviation is 180." Using the number you got from #16, subtract the angle of deviation from 180o to get the measure of a single inner angle:

A70o
B82o
C142o
D85o
E 108o
F 42o



18. What is the sum of all of the inner angles of a pentagon?

A540o
B432o
C360o
D112o
E 180o
F 900o



19. Using the same or a similar process, what is the measure of a single angle of deviation on a regular octagon?

A72o
B45o
C83o
D40o
E 8o
F 42o



20. Using the same or a similar process, what is the sum of the inner angles of an octagon?

A600o
B180o
C540o
D360o
E 2489o
F 1080o

For problems 13 through 14 your complex statement is "Baseball players are athletes."


13. Which of the following is accurate?

AThe inverse of the statement is "If someone is a baseball player then someone is an athlete."
BThe statement is "If someone is an athlete, then they are a baseball player."
CThe statement can never be true.
DBaseball players all have great teeth and gums.
E The inverse of the statement is not true.
F The converse is: "Joey is a baseball player, and he is not an athlete."



14. What is q?

ASomeone is an athlete.
BSomeone is a baseball player.
CAll baseball players are athletes.
DAll athletes are baseball players.

25 students played soccer

4 boys played soccer and baseball

3 girls played soccer and baseball

10 boys played baseball

4 girls played baseball

9 students played tennis

3 boys played soccer and tennis

3 girls played soccer and tennis

3 boys played baseball and tennis

1 girl played baseball and tennis

1 boy played all three sports

1 girl played all three sports



Hints on the diagram (highlight the following paragraph with your mouse to see them):
<start highlighting here> Notice that the counts don't make sense as they are, because they're all inclusive. The soccer count includes every who plays soccer, even the students in the soccer and baseball, soccer and tennis, and the all three sport counts. The count for soccer and baseball includes the students who play all three sports. So you'll need to correct from the inside outward...first subtract the boy and girl who play all three sports from all the other counts, then subtract the dual-sport counts from the single sport counts.

Put another way, this is like the gecko problem--the entire soccer circle including the soccer and baseball students and the soccer and tennis students and the students who play soccer and baseball and tennis, will add up to 25.<end highlighting here>
