ID: 5207e508 Answer

Correct Answer: D
Rationale
Choice D is correct. It's given that lines 𝑚 and 𝑛 are parallel. Since line 𝑡 intersects both lines 𝑚 and 𝑛, it's a
transversal. The angles in the figure marked as 170° and 𝑤° are on the same side of the transversal, where one is an
interior angle with line 𝑚 as a side, and the other is an exterior angle with line 𝑛 as a side. Thus, the marked angles
are corresponding angles. When two parallel lines are intersected by a transversal, corresponding angles are
congruent and, therefore, have equal measure. It follows that 𝑤° = 170°. Therefore, the value of 𝑤 is 170.

ID: d5f349b7 Answer

Correct Answer: B
Rationale
Choice B is correct. In similar triangles, corresponding angles are congruent. It’s given that right triangles 𝑃𝑄𝑅 and
𝑆𝑇𝑈 are similar, where angle 𝑃 corresponds to angle 𝑆. It follows that angle 𝑃 is congruent to angle 𝑆. In the triangles
shown, angle 𝑅 and angle 𝑈 are both marked as right angles, so angle 𝑅 and angle 𝑈 are corresponding angles. It
follows that angle 𝑄 and angle 𝑇 are corresponding angles, and thus, angle 𝑄 is congruent to angle 𝑇. It’s given that
the measure of angle 𝑄 is 18°, so the measure of angle 𝑇 is also 18°. Angle 𝑈 is a right angle, so the measure of angle
𝑈 is 90°. The sum of the measures of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°. Thus, the sum of the measures of the
interior angles of triangle 𝑆𝑇𝑈 is 180 degrees. Let 𝑠 represent the measure, in degrees, of angle 𝑆. It follows that
𝑠 + 18 + 90 = 180, or 𝑠 + 108 = 180. Subtracting 108 from both sides of this equation yields 𝑠 = 72. Therefore, if the
measure of angle 𝑄 is 18 degrees, then the measure of angle 𝑆 is 72 degrees.
Choice A is incorrect. This is the measure of angle 𝑇.
Choice D is incorrect. This is the sum of the measures of angle 𝑆 and angle 𝑈.

ID: cf0d3050 Answer

Correct Answer: 70
Rationale
The correct answer is 70. Based on the figure, the angle with measure 110° and the angle vertical to the angle with
measure 𝑥° are same side interior angles. Since vertical angles are congruent, the angle vertical to the angle with
measure 𝑥° also has measure 𝑥°. It’s given that lines 𝑠 and 𝑡 are parallel. Therefore, same side interior angles between

is . What is the measure of angle ?
A.
B.
C.
D.
ID: 0bb39de4 Answer

Correct Answer: B
Rationale
Choice B is correct. It’s given that triangle 𝐴𝐵𝐶 is congruent to triangle 𝐷𝐸𝐹. Corresponding angles of congruent
triangles are congruent and, therefore, have equal measure. It’s given that angle 𝐴 corresponds to angle 𝐷, and that
the measure of angle 𝐴 is 18°. It's also given that the measures of angles 𝐵 and 𝐸 are 90°. Since these angles have
equal measure, they are corresponding angles. It follows that angle 𝐶 corresponds to angle 𝐹. Let 𝑥° represent the
measure of angle 𝐶. Since the sum of the measures of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°, it follows that
18° + 90° + 𝑥° = 180°, or 108° + 𝑥° = 180°. Subtracting 108° from both sides of this equation yields 𝑥° = 72°. Therefore,
the measure of angle 𝐶 is 72°. Since angle 𝐶 corresponds to angle 𝐹, it follows that the measure of angle 𝐹 is also 72°.
Choice A is incorrect. This is the measure of angle 𝐷, not the measure of angle 𝐹.
Choice C is incorrect. This is the measure of angle 𝐸, not the measure of angle 𝐹.
Choice D is incorrect. This is the sum of the measures of angles 𝐸 and 𝐹, not the measure of angle 𝐹.

Question ID 3828f53d

In the figure above, lines m and n are parallel.

What is the value of b ?
A. 40
B. 50
C. 65
D. 80
ID: 3828f53d Answer

Correct Answer: A
Rationale
Choice A is correct. Given that lines m and n are parallel, the angle marked 130° must be supplementary to the
leftmost angle marked a° because they are same-side interior angles. Therefore, 130° + a° = 180°, which yields a = 50°.
Lines and m intersect at a right angle, so lines j, , and m form a right triangle where the two acute angles are a°
and b°. The acute angles of a right triangle are complementary, so a° + b° = 90°, which yields 50° + b° = 90°, and b = 40.
Choice B is incorrect. This is the value of a, not b. Choice C is incorrect and may be the result of dividing 130° by 2.
Choice D is incorrect and may be the result of multiplying b by 2.

D.
ID: 42b4493b Answer

Correct Answer: B
Rationale
Choice B is correct. The sum of the measures of the interior angles of a triangle is 180 degrees. Since the triangle is a
right triangle, it has one angle that measures 90 degrees. Therefore, the sum of the measures, in degrees, of the
remaining two angles is 180 - 90, or 90. It’s given that the measure of one of the acute angles in the triangle is 51
degrees. Therefore, the measure, in degrees, of the other acute angle is 90 - 51, or 39.
Choice D is incorrect. This is the measure, in degrees, of the acute angle whose measure is given.

ID: 36200a38 Answer

Correct Answer: B
Rationale
Choice B is correct. The sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°. The measures of the two interior angles of the
given triangle are shown. Therefore, the measure of the third interior angle is 180° – 70° – 50° = 60°. The angles of
measures x° and 60° are supplementary, so their sum is 180°. Therefore, x = 180 – 60 = 120.
Choice A is incorrect and may be the result of misinterpreting x° as supplementary to 70°. Choice C is incorrect and
may be the result of misinterpreting x° as supplementary to 50°. Choice D is incorrect and may be the result of a
calculation error.

Question ID 686b5212

ID: 686b5212
In the figure, line is parallel to line , and both lines are intersected by line . If , what is the value of ?
ID: 686b5212 Answer

Correct Answer: 57
Rationale
The correct answer is 57. Based on the figure, the angle with measure 𝑦° and the angle vertical to the angle with
measure 58° are same side interior angles. Since vertical angles are congruent, the angle vertical to the angle with
measure 58° also has measure 58°. It’s given that lines 𝑞 and 𝑟 are parallel. Therefore, same side interior angles
between lines 𝑞 and 𝑟 are supplementary. It follows that 𝑦 + 58 = 180. If 𝑦 = 2𝑥 + 8, then the value of 𝑥 can be found
by substituting 2𝑥 + 8 for 𝑦 in the equation 𝑦 + 58 = 180, which yields 2𝑥 + 8 + 58 = 180, or 2𝑥 + 66 = 180. Subtracting
66 from both sides of this equation yields 2𝑥 = 114. Dividing both sides of this equation by 2 yields 𝑥 = 57. Thus, if
𝑦 = 2𝑥 + 8, the value of 𝑥 is 57.

feet long. At the same time, the shadow of the other tree is feet long. How tall, in feet, is the other tree?
A.
B.
C.
D.
ID: 94364a79 Answer

Correct Answer: B
Rationale
Choice B is correct. Each tree and its shadow can be modeled using a right triangle, where the height of the tree and
the length of its shadow are the legs of the triangle. At a given point in time, the right triangles formed by two
nearby trees and their respective shadows will be similar. Therefore, if the height of the other tree is 𝑥, in feet, the
10 feet tall 𝑥 feet tall
value of 𝑥 can be calculated by solving the proportional relationship 5 feet long = 2 feet long . This equation is equivalent
10 𝑥 𝑥 𝑥
to 5 = 2 , or 2 = 2 . Multiplying each side of the equation 2 = 2
by 2 yields 4 = 𝑥. Therefore, the other tree is 4 feet tall.
Choice A is incorrect and may result from calculating the difference between the lengths of the shadows, rather
than the height of the other tree.
Choice C is incorrect and may result from calculating the difference between the height of the 10-foot-tall tree and
the length of the shadow of the other tree, rather than calculating the height of the other tree.
Choice D is incorrect and may result from a conceptual or calculation error.

true?
A.
B.
C.
D.
ID: a4c05a1b Answer

Correct Answer: B
Rationale
Choice B is correct. In the figure shown, the angle measuring 𝑦° is congruent to its vertical angle formed by lines 𝑠
and 𝑚, so the measure of the vertical angle is also 𝑦°. The vertical angle forms a same-side interior angle pair with
the angle measuring 𝑥°. It's given that lines 𝑟 and 𝑠 are parallel. Therefore, same-side interior angles in the figure are
supplementary, which means the sum of the measure of the vertical angle and the measure of the angle measuring
𝑥° is 180°, or 𝑥 + 𝑦 = 180. Subtracting 𝑥 from both sides of this equation yields 𝑦 = 180 - 𝑥. Substituting 180 - 𝑥 for 𝑦 in
the inequality 𝑦 < 65 yields 180 - 𝑥 < 65. Adding 𝑥 to both sides of this inequality yields 180 < 65 + 𝑥. Subtracting 65
from both sides of this inequality yields 115 < 𝑥, or 𝑥 > 115. Thus, if 𝑦 < 65, it must be true that 𝑥 > 115.
Choice C is incorrect. 𝑥 + 𝑦 must be equal to, not less than, 180.

Choice D is incorrect. 𝑥 + 𝑦 must be equal to, not greater than, 180.

In the figure, lines and are parallel. If and , what is the value of ?

D.
ID: 2adbf1b1 Answer

Correct Answer: C
Rationale
Choice C is correct. Vertical angles, which are angles that are opposite each other when two lines intersect, are
congruent. The figure shows that lines 𝑡 and 𝑚 intersect. It follows that the angle with measure 𝑥° and the angle with
measure 𝑦° are vertical angles, so 𝑥 = 𝑦. It's given that 𝑥 = 6𝑘 + 13 and 𝑦 = 8𝑘 - 29. Substituting 6𝑘 + 13 for 𝑥 and
8𝑘 - 29 for 𝑦 in the equation 𝑥 = 𝑦 yields 6𝑘 + 13 = 8𝑘 - 29. Subtracting 6𝑘 from both sides of this equation yields
13 = 2𝑘 - 29. Adding 29 to both sides of this equation yields 42 = 2𝑘, or 2𝑘 = 42. Dividing both sides of this equation
by 2 yields 𝑘 = 21. It's given that lines 𝑚 and 𝑛 are parallel, and the figure shows that lines 𝑚 and 𝑛 are intersected by
a transversal, line 𝑡. If two parallel lines are intersected by a transversal, then the same-side interior angles are
supplementary. It follows that the same-side interior angles with measures 𝑦° and 𝑧° are supplementary, so
𝑦 + 𝑧 = 180. Substituting 8𝑘 - 29 for 𝑦 in this equation yields 8𝑘 - 29 + 𝑧 = 180. Substituting 21 for 𝑘 in this equation
yields 821 - 29 + 𝑧 = 180, or 139 + 𝑧 = 180. Subtracting 139 from both sides of this equation yields 𝑧 = 41. Therefore,
the value of 𝑧 is 41.
Choice B is incorrect. This is the value of 𝑘, not 𝑧.
Choice D is incorrect. This is the value of 𝑥 or 𝑦, not 𝑧.

lengths of the two triangles is such that . If the measure
of angle BAC is 20°, what is the measure, in degrees, of angle EDF ? (Disregard the
degree symbol when gridding your answer.)
ID: 1c3d613c Answer
Rationale
The correct answer is 20. By the equality given, the three pairs of corresponding sides of the two triangles are in the
same proportion. By the side-side-side (SSS) similarity theorem, triangle ABC is similar to triangle DEF. In similar
triangles, the measures of corresponding angles are congruent. Since angle BAC corresponds to angle EDF, these two
angles are congruent and their measures are equal. It’s given that the measure of angle BAC is 20°, so the measure of
angle EDF is also 20°.

ID: 6dd463ca Answer

Correct Answer: B
Rationale
Choice B is correct. It’s given that angle ACE measures . Since segments AE and BD are parallel, angles BDC and
CEA are congruent. Therefore, angle CEA measures . The sum of the measures of angles ACE, CEA, and CAE is
since the sum of the interior angles of triangle ACE is equal to . Let the measure of angle CAE be .
Therefore, , which simplifies to . Thus, the measure of angle CAE is .
Choice A is incorrect. This is the measure of angle AEC, not that of angle CAE. Choice C is incorrect. This is the
measure of angle ACE, not that of CAE. Choice D is incorrect. This is the sum of the measures of angles ACE and
CEA.

ID: 4ff7b652 Answer

Correct Answer: B
Rationale
Choice B is correct. It’s given that triangle 𝐿𝑀𝑁 is similar to triangle 𝑃𝑄𝑅. Corresponding angles of similar triangles
are congruent. Since angle 𝑀 and angle 𝑄 correspond to each other, they must be congruent. Therefore, if the
measure of angle 𝑀 is 53°, then the measure of angle 𝑄 is also 53°.

In the figure, . The measure of angle is , and the measure of angle is . What is the value of
?
ID: 6d99b141 Answer

Correct Answer: 83
Rationale
The correct answer is 83. It's given that in the figure, 𝐴𝐶 = 𝐶𝐷. Thus, triangle 𝐴𝐶𝐷 is an isosceles triangle and the
measure of angle 𝐶𝐷𝐴 is equal to the measure of angle 𝐶𝐴𝐷. The sum of the measures of the interior angles of a
triangle is 180°. Thus, the sum of the measures of the interior angles of triangle 𝐴𝐶𝐷 is 180°. It's given that the
measure of angle 𝐴𝐶𝐷 is 104°. It follows that the sum of the measures of angles 𝐶𝐷𝐴 and 𝐶𝐴𝐷 is 180 - 104°, or 76°.
Since the measure of angle 𝐶𝐷𝐴 is equal to the measure of angle 𝐶𝐴𝐷, the measure of angle 𝐶𝐷𝐴 is half of 76°, or 38°.
The sum of the measures of the interior angles of triangle 𝐵𝐷𝐸 is 180°. It's given that the measure of angle 𝐸𝐵𝐶 is 45°.
Since the measure of angle 𝐵𝐷𝐸, which is the same angle as angle 𝐶𝐷𝐴, is 38°, it follows that the measure of angle
𝐷𝐸𝐵 is 180 - 45 - 38°, or 97°. Since angle 𝐷𝐸𝐵 and angle 𝐴𝐸𝐵 form a straight line, the sum of the measures of these
angles is 180°. It's given in the figure that the measure of angle 𝐴𝐸𝐵 is 𝑥°. It follows that 97 + 𝑥 = 180. Subtracting 97
from both sides of this equation yields 𝑥 = 83.

ID: e10d8313 Answer

Correct Answer: 123
Rationale
The correct answer is 123. The triangle angle sum theorem states that the sum of the measures of the interior
angles of a triangle is 180 degrees. It's given that the measure of ∠𝑆𝑄𝑋 is 48° and the measure of ∠𝑆𝑋𝑄 is 86°. Since
points 𝑆, 𝑄, and 𝑋 form a triangle, it follows from the triangle angle sum theorem that the measure, in degrees, of
∠𝑄𝑆𝑋 is 180 - 48 - 86, or 46. It's also given that the measure of ∠𝑆𝑊𝑈 is 85°. Since ∠𝑆𝑊𝑈 and ∠𝑆𝑊𝑅 are supplementary
angles, the sum of their measures is 180 degrees. It follows that the measure, in degrees, of ∠𝑆𝑊𝑅 is 180 - 85, or 95.
Since points 𝑅, 𝑆, and 𝑊 form a triangle, and ∠𝑅𝑆𝑊 is the same angle as ∠𝑄𝑆𝑋, it follows from the triangle angle sum
theorem that the measure, in degrees, of ∠𝑊𝑅𝑆 is 180 - 46 - 95, or 39. It's given that the measure of ∠𝑉𝑇𝑈 is 162°.
Since ∠𝑉𝑇𝑈 and ∠𝑆𝑇𝑈 are supplementary angles, the sum of their measures is 180 degrees. It follows that the
measure, in degrees, of ∠𝑆𝑇𝑈 is 180 - 162, or 18. Since points 𝑅, 𝑇, and 𝑈 form a triangle, and ∠𝑈𝑅𝑇 is the same angle
as ∠𝑊𝑅𝑆, it follows from the triangle angle sum theorem that the measure, in degrees, of ∠𝑇𝑈𝑅 is 180 - 39 - 18, or 123.

ID: a0369739 Answer

Correct Answer: D
Rationale
Choice D is correct. It's given that in triangle 𝐴𝐵𝐶, the measure of angle 𝐵 is 90° and 𝐵𝐷 is an altitude of the triangle.
Therefore, the measure of angle 𝐵𝐷𝐶 is 90°. It follows that angle 𝐵 is congruent to angle 𝐷 and angle 𝐶 is congruent to
angle 𝐶. By the angle-angle similarity postulate, triangle 𝐴𝐵𝐶 is similar to triangle 𝐵𝐷𝐶. Since triangles 𝐴𝐵𝐶 and 𝐵𝐷𝐶
𝐴𝐶 𝐵𝐶
are similar, it follows that 𝐴𝐵
= 𝐵𝐷
. It's also given that the length of 𝐴𝐵
¯
is 15 and the length of 𝐴𝐶
¯
is 23 greater than
the length of 𝐴𝐵.
¯
Therefore, the length of 𝐴𝐶
¯
is 15 + 23, or 38. Substituting 15 for 𝐴𝐵 and 38 for 𝐴𝐶 in the equation
𝐴𝐶 𝐵𝐶 38 𝐵𝐶 𝐵𝐶 38
𝐴𝐵
= 𝐵𝐷
yields 15
= 𝐵𝐷
. Therefore, the value of 𝐵𝐷
is 15

A. The measure of angle
B. The length of side
C. The lengths of sides and
D. No additional information is necessary.
ID: 901c3215 Answer

Correct Answer: C
Rationale
Choice C is correct. Since angles 𝐵 and 𝐸 each have the same measure and angles 𝐶 and 𝐹 each have the same
measure, triangles 𝐴𝐵𝐶 and 𝐷𝐸𝐹 are similar, where side 𝐵𝐶 corresponds to side 𝐸𝐹. To determine whether two
similar triangles are congruent, it is sufficient to determine whether one pair of corresponding sides are congruent.
Therefore, to determine whether triangles 𝐴𝐵𝐶 and 𝐷𝐸𝐹 are congruent, it is sufficient to determine whether sides 𝐵𝐶
and 𝐸𝐹 have equal length. Thus, the lengths of 𝐵𝐶 and 𝐸𝐹 are sufficient to determine whether triangle 𝐴𝐵𝐶 is
congruent to triangle 𝐷𝐸𝐹.
Choice A is incorrect and may result from conceptual errors.
Choice B is incorrect and may result from conceptual errors.
Choice D is incorrect. The given information is sufficient to determine that triangles 𝐴𝐵𝐶 and 𝐷𝐸𝐹 are similar, but
not whether they are congruent.

ID: f7dbde16 Answer

Correct Answer: D
Rationale
Choice D is correct. Two triangles are similar if they have three pairs of congruent corresponding angles. It’s given
that angles 𝐿 and 𝑅 each measure 60°, and so these corresponding angles are congruent. If angle 𝑀 is 70°, then angle
𝑁 must be 50° so that the sum of the angles in triangle 𝐿𝑀𝑁 is 180°. If angle 𝑇 is 50°, then angle 𝑆 must be 70° so that
the sum of the angles in triangle 𝑅𝑆𝑇 is 180°. Therefore, if the measures of angles 𝑀 and 𝑇 are 70° and 50°,
respectively, then corresponding angles 𝑀 and 𝑆 are both 70°, and corresponding angles 𝑁 and 𝑇 are both 50°. It
follows that triangles 𝐿𝑀𝑁 and 𝑅𝑆𝑇 have three pairs of congruent corresponding angles, and so the triangles are
similar. Therefore, the additional piece of information that is sufficient to prove that triangle 𝐿𝑀𝑁 is similar to
triangle 𝑅𝑆𝑇 is that the measures of angles 𝑀 and 𝑇 are 70° and 50°, respectively.
Choice A is incorrect. If the measures of two sides in one triangle are proportional to the corresponding sides in
another triangle and the included angles are congruent, then the triangles are similar. However, the two sides given
are not proportional and the angle given is not included by the given sides.
Choice B is incorrect. If the measures of two sides in one triangle are proportional to the corresponding sides in
another triangle and the included angles are congruent, then the triangles are similar. However, the angle given is
not included between the proportional sides.

units?
ID: 5b4757df Answer

Correct Answer: 14.66, 14.67, 44/3
Rationale
44
The correct answer is 3
. It's given that in triangle 𝑅𝑆𝑇, angle 𝑇 is a right angle. The area of a right triangle can be
1
found using the formula 𝐴 = 𝑙1 𝑙2 , where 𝐴 represents the area of the right triangle, 𝑙1 represents the length of one
2
leg of the triangle, and 𝑙2 represents the length of the other leg of the triangle. In triangle 𝑅𝑆𝑇, the two legs are 𝑅𝑇
¯
1
and 𝑆𝑇.
¯
Therefore, if the length of 𝑅𝑇
¯
is 72 and the area of triangle 𝑅𝑆𝑇 is 792, then 792 = 2 72𝑆𝑇, or 792 = 36𝑆𝑇.
Dividing both sides of this equation by 36 yields 22 = 𝑆𝑇. Therefore, the length of 𝑆𝑇 ¯
is 22. It's also given that point 𝐿
lies on 𝑅𝑆, point 𝐾 lies on 𝑆𝑇, and 𝐿𝐾 is parallel to 𝑅𝑇. It follows that angle 𝐿𝐾𝑆 is a right angle. Since triangles 𝑅𝑆𝑇
¯ ¯ ¯ ¯
and 𝐿𝑆𝐾 share angle 𝑆 and have right angles 𝑇 and 𝐾, respectively, triangles 𝑅𝑆𝑇 and 𝐿𝑆𝐾 are similar triangles.
Therefore, the ratio of the length of 𝑅𝑇
¯
to the length of 𝐿𝐾 ¯
is equal to the ratio of the length of 𝑆𝑇
¯
to the length of 𝑆𝐾.
¯
72
If the length of 𝑅𝑇
¯
is 72 and the length of 𝐿𝐾
¯
is 24, it follows that the ratio of the length of 𝑅𝑇
¯
to the length of 𝐿𝐾
¯
is ,
24
22
or 3, so the ratio of the length of 𝑆𝑇
¯
to the length of 𝑆𝐾
¯
is 3. Therefore, 𝑆𝐾
= 3. Multiplying both sides of this equation
22
by 𝑆𝐾 yields 22 = 3𝑆𝐾. Dividing both sides of this equation by 3 yields 3 = 𝑆𝐾. Since the length of 𝑆𝑇, ¯
22, is the sum
22 22 44
of the length of 𝑆𝐾,
¯
3
, and the length of 𝐾𝑇,
¯
it follows that the length of 𝐾𝑇 is 22 - 3 , or 3 . Note that 44/3, 14.66, and

14.67 are examples of ways to enter a correct answer.

Correct Answer: 101/2, 50.5
Rationale
101
The correct answer is 2
. In the figure, lines 𝑞, 𝑟, and 𝑠 form a triangle. One interior angle of this triangle is vertical
to the angle marked 𝑎°; therefore, the interior angle also has measure 𝑎°. It's given that 𝑎 = 43. Therefore, the interior
angle of the triangle has measure 43°. A second interior angle of the triangle forms a straight line, 𝑞, with the angle
marked 𝑏°. Therefore, the sum of the measures of these two angles is 180°. It's given that 𝑏 = 122. Therefore, the
angle marked 𝑏° has measure 122° and the second interior angle of the triangle has measure 180 - 122°, or 58°. The
sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°. Therefore, the measure of the third interior angle of the triangle is
180 - 43 - 58°, or 79°. It's given that parallel lines 𝑞 and 𝑡 are intersected by line 𝑟. It follows that the triangle's interior
angle with measure 79° is congruent to the same side interior angle between lines 𝑞 and 𝑡 formed by lines 𝑡 and 𝑟.
Since this angle is supplementary to the two angles marked 𝑤°, the sum of 79°, 𝑤°, and 𝑤° is 180°. It follows that
79 + 𝑤 + 𝑤 = 180, or 79 + 2𝑤 = 180. Subtracting 79 from both sides of this equation yields 2𝑤 = 101. Dividing both
