In the figure below, lines \( m \) and \( n \) are parallel. What is the value of \( b \)?
A) 40
B) 50
C) 65
D) 80
▶️ Answer/Explanation
Ans: A
Parallel lines \( m \) and \( n \): 130° + \( a^\circ \) = 180°, so \( a^\circ = 50^\circ \).
In the right triangle (90° at \( l \) and \( m \)), \( a^\circ + b^\circ = 90^\circ \).
\( 50^\circ + b^\circ = 90^\circ \), so \( b^\circ = 40^\circ \).
In a right triangle, the measure of one of the acute angles is 51°. What is the measure, in degrees, of the other acute angle?
A) 6
B) 39
C) 49
D) 51
▶️ Answer/Explanation
Ans: B
In a right triangle, the acute angles sum to 90°.
Given one angle is 51°, the other is: \( 90^\circ – 51^\circ = 39^\circ \).
Line \( k \) is shown in the \( xy \)-plane. Line \( j \) (not shown) is parallel to line \( k \). What is the slope of line \( j \)?
A) \( \frac{1}{3} \)
B) 1
C) \( \frac{1}{5} \)
D) 5
▶️ Answer/Explanation
Ans: C
Line \( k \) passes through points \( (0, 2) \) and \( (5, 3) \).
Slope of \( k \): \( \frac{3 – 2}{5 – 0} = \frac{1}{5} \).
Since \( j \) is parallel to \( k \), its slope is also \( \frac{1}{5} \).
In the figure below, line \( t \) intersects lines \( l \) and \( k \). Which additional piece of information is sufficient to prove that lines \( l \) and \( k \) are parallel?
A) \( x > 90 \)
B) \( w < 90 \)
C) \( w = y \)
D) \( y = z \)
▶️ Answer/Explanation
Ans: D
If \( y = z \), and \( y \) and \( z \) are corresponding or alternate interior angles, then \( l \parallel k \), as equal corresponding or alternate interior angles imply parallelism.
Choice A: Insufficient, \( x > 90 \) doesn’t relate angles on \( l \) and \( k \).
Choice B: Insufficient, \( w < 90 \) doesn’t establish a relationship between \( l \) and \( k \).
Choice C: Insufficient unless \( w \) and \( y \) are corresponding or alternate interior angles, which isn’t guaranteed.
In the \( xy \)-plane above, a dilation with center \( O \) and scale factor 3 transforms triangle \( ABC \) to triangle \( DEF \). Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A) The perimeter of triangle \( DEF \) is 3 times the perimeter of triangle \( ABC \).
B) The measure of angle \( E \) is 3 times the measure of angle \( B \).
C) The length of \( \overline{AB} \) is \( \frac{1}{3} \) the length of \( \overline{DE} \).
D) Angle \( A \) is congruent to angle \( D \)
▶️ Answer/Explanation
Ans: B
Dilation with scale factor 3 multiplies lengths by 3, but angles remain congruent.
A) TRUE: Perimeter of \( DEF \) is 3 times perimeter of \( ABC \).
B) FALSE: Angle \( E \) is congruent to angle \( B \), not 3 times its measure.
C) TRUE: \( AB = \frac{DE}{3} \) due to the scale factor.
D) TRUE: Angle \( A \) is congruent to angle \( D \).
