Worked examples
RookieRead and interpret directly.
Plot (3, -2). Where is it?
- 3 right, 2 down
- 3 down, 2 right
- 3 up, 2 left
- 3 left, 2 up
Answer: 3 right, 2 down. (x, y) = across (3 right), then up/down (-2 = 2 down).
ProCompare and infer.
Isosceles triangle: two equal sides. If apex is 80°, what are the BASE angles?
- 50° each
- 40° each
- 100° each
- 80° each
Answer: 50° each. Base angles equal. (180 − 80)/2 = 50°.
GuruMulti-step reasoning.
A regular pentagon. Find each interior angle.
- 108°
- 120°
- 72°
- 90°
Answer: 108°. Sum = (5−2) × 180 = 540. ÷ 5 = 108.
