B
≈ 22.5 cm
C
≈ 15.0 cm
D
≈ 30.14 cm
14
Polygon Interior Angles
What is the sum of the interior angles of a regular hexagon?

A
540°
B
900°
C
1080°
D
720°
15
Circle — Chord Theorem
An inscribed angle intercepts an arc of 84°. What is the measure of the inscribed angle?
⚡INSCRIBED ANGLE = ½ × (intercepted arc) — half the arc, always
A
84°
B
42°
C
168°
D
21°
16
Triangle Congruence
Two triangles share two equal sides and the included angle between them is equal. Which congruence rule applies?
⚡SAS: Side-ANGLE-Side — the angle must be BETWEEN the two sides
A
SAS (Side-Angle-Side)
B
ASA (Angle-Side-Angle)

Area — Trapezoid
A trapezoid has parallel sides of 6 cm and 10 cm, and a height of 4 cm. What is the area?
⚡A = ½(b₁ + b₂) × h — average of the two bases, times height
A
24 cm²
B
40 cm²
C
32 cm²
D
16 cm²
18
Exterior Angles
What is the measure of each exterior angle of a regular pentagon?
⚡EXTERIOR ANGLE = 360° ÷ n — all exterior angles of any polygon sum to 360°
A
60°
B
72°
C
108°
D
45°
19
Circle — Tangent
A tangent segment from an external point P is 8 cm. The external segment of a secant from the same point is 4 cm and the whole secant is 16 cm. Are these consistent with the secant-tangent theorem?
⚡tangent² = external × whole secant — power of a point
A
Yes — 8² = 4 × 16 ✓
B
No — the formula doesn't apply to tangents
C
Yes — but only for circles with radius 8
D
No — 8² ≠ 4 × 16
