In the figure, line is parallel to line . What is the value of ?

A.

B.

C.

D.

ID: 5207e508 Answer


Correct Answer: D

Rationale

Choice D is correct. It's given that lines and are parallel. Since line intersects both lines and , it's a
transversal. The angles in the figure marked as and are on the same side of the transversal, where one is an
interior angle with line as a side, and the other is an exterior angle with line 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 . Therefore, the value of is .

Choice A is incorrect and may result from conceptual or calculation errors.

Choice B is incorrect and may result from conceptual or calculation errors.

Rationale

Choice B is correct. In similar triangles, corresponding angles are congruent. It’s given that right triangles and
are similar, where angle corresponds to angle . It follows that angle is congruent to angle . In the
triangles shown, angle and angle are both marked as right angles, so angle and angle are corresponding
angles. It follows that angle and angle are corresponding angles, and thus, angle is congruent to angle . It’s
given that the measure of angle is , so the measure of angle is also . Angle is a right angle, so the
measure of angle is . The sum of the measures of the interior angles of a triangle is . Thus, the sum of the
measures of the interior angles of triangle is degrees. Let represent the measure, in degrees, of angle . It
follows that , or . Subtracting from both sides of this equation yields .
Therefore, if the measure of angle is degrees, then the measure of angle is degrees.

Choice A is incorrect. This is the measure of angle .

Choice C is incorrect and may result from conceptual or calculation errors.

, what is the value of z ?

A. 140

B. 80

C. 40

D. 20

ID: 087cdcfd Answer


Correct Answer: C

Rationale

Choice C is correct. The angle that is shown as lying between the y° angle and the z° angle is a vertical angle with the x°
angle. Since vertical angles are congruent and , the angle between the y° angle and the z° angle measures 65°.
Since the 65° angle, the y° angle, and the z° angle are adjacent and form a straight angle, it follows that the sum of the
measures of these three angles is 180°, which is represented by the equation . It’s given that y =
75. Substituting 75 for y yields , which can be rewritten as . Subtracting 140°
from both sides of this equation yields . Therefore, .

what is the perimeter of triangle DEF ?

A. 10

B. 40

C. 80

D. 120

ID: 0837c3b9 Answer


Correct Answer: B

Rationale

Choice B is correct. Since triangles ABC and DEF are similar and , the length of each side of triangle DEF is
two times the length of its corresponding side in triangle ABC. Therefore, the perimeter of triangle DEF is two times the
perimeter of triangle ABC. Since the perimeter of triangle ABC is 20, the perimeter of triangle DEF is 40.

Choice A is incorrect. This is half, not two times, the perimeter of triangle ABC. Choice C is incorrect. This is two times
the perimeter of triangle DEF rather than two times the perimeter of triangle ABC. Choice D is incorrect. This is six

, what is the value of y ?

A. 100

B. 90

C. 80

D. 60

ID: dfc420b2 Answer


Correct Answer: C

Rationale

Choice C is correct. It’s given that ; therefore, substituting 100 for x in triangle ABC gives two known angle
measures for this triangle. The sum of the measures of the interior angles of any triangle equals 180°. Subtracting the
two known angle measures of triangle ABC from 180° gives the third angle measure: . This
is the measure of angle BCA. Since vertical angles are congruent, the measure of angle DCE is also 60°. Subtracting the
two known angle measures of triangle CDE from 180° gives the third angle measure: .
Therefore, the value of y is 80.

Choice A is incorrect and may result from a calculation error. Choice B is incorrect and may result from classifying angle
CDE as a right angle. Choice D is incorrect and may result from finding the measure of angle BCA or DCE instead of the

What is the perimeter, in inches, of a rectangle with a length of inches and a width of inches?

A.

B.

C.

D.

ID: 02b02213 Answer


Correct Answer: D

Rationale

Choice D is correct. The perimeter of a figure is equal to the sum of the measurements of the sides of the figure. It’s
given that the rectangle has a length of inches and a width of inches. Since a rectangle has sides, of which
opposite sides are parallel and equal, it follows that the rectangle has two sides with a length of inches and two sides
with a width of inches. Therefore, the perimeter of this rectangle is , or inches.

Choice A is incorrect. This is the sum, in inches, of the length and the width of the rectangle.

Choice B is incorrect. This is the sum, in inches, of the two lengths and the width of the rectangle.

Choice C is incorrect. This is the sum, in inches, of the length and the two widths of the rectangle.

SAT Math Geometry and Lines, angles, and


Trigonometry triangles

ID: 36200a38

In the figure above, two sides of a triangle are extended. What is the value of x ?

A. 110

B. 120

C. 130

D. 140

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.

In a right triangle, the measure of one of the acute angles is . What is the measure, in degrees, of the other acute
angle?

A.

B.

C.

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 degrees. Since the triangle is a
right triangle, it has one angle that measures degrees. Therefore, the sum of the measures, in degrees, of the
remaining two angles is , or . It’s given that the measure of one of the acute angles in the triangle is
degrees. Therefore, the measure, in degrees, of the other acute angle is , or .

Choice A is incorrect and may result from conceptual or calculation errors.

Choice C is incorrect and may result from conceptual or calculation errors.

Choice D is incorrect. This is the measure, in degrees, of the acute angle whose measure is given.

Choice A is correct. It’s given that the volume of a right rectangular prism is . The prism shown has a length of 6
cm, a width of 2 cm, and a height of 3 cm. Thus, , or 36 cubic centimeters.

Choice B is incorrect. This is the volume of a rectangular prism with edge lengths of 6, 2, and 2. Choice C is incorrect
and may result from only finding the product of the length and width of the base of the prism. Choice D is incorrect and
may result from finding the sum, not the product, of the edge lengths of the prism.

Question ID 3828f53d
Assessment Test Domain Skill Difficulty

SAT Math Geometry and Lines, angles, and


Trigonometry triangles

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.
