How the DC CAPE reports it

DC CAPE math continues DC’s PARCC-era alignment to the Common Core State Standards and uses the same general development/review approach described by OSSE. The page says DC Math follows the same rigorous development and review process and measures the knowledge and skills that matter most for DC students, while also explicitly tying the assessments to CCSS.

Blueprint & weighting

DC CAPE uses the PARCC-derived / Common Core-based framework (by grade domains structure).

In isosceles $\triangle DEF$ , the vertex angle measures $(4x+10)°$ and each base angle measures $(65-x)°$ . What is the measure of each base angle?

The three angles sum to $180°$ : $2(65-x)+(4x+10)=180$ , so $140+2x=180$ and $x=20$ . Each base angle is $65-20=45°$ .

In $\triangle GHI$ , $m\angle G=(2x+5)°$ , $m\angle H=(3x+5)°$ , and $m\angle I=(x+50)°$ . What is the measure of the largest angle of the triangle?

The angles sum to $180°$ : $(2x+5)+(3x+5)+(x+50)=180$ , so $6x+60=180$ and $x=20$ . The angles are $45°$ , $65°$ , and $70°$ , so the largest is $70°$ .

In parallelogram $PQRS$ , $m\angle P=(4x+6)°$ and $m\angle Q=(2x+24)°$ . What is the measure of $\angle P$ ?

Consecutive angles are supplementary: $(4x+6)+(2x+24)=180$ , so $6x+30=180$ and $x=25$ . Then $m\angle P=4(25)+6=106°$ .

Each interior angle of rectangle $WXYZ$ measures $(3x-12)°$ . What is the value of $x$ ?

Every interior angle of a rectangle measures $90°$ , so $3x-12=90$ and $x=34$ .

In $\triangle ABC$ , $m\angle A=(x+8)°$ , $m\angle B=(2x+17)°$ , and $m\angle C=(x+55)°$ . What is the value of $x$ ?

The three interior angles sum to $180°$ : $(x+8)+(2x+17)+(x+55)=180$ , so $4x+80=180$ and $x=25$ .

Two parallel lines are cut by a transversal. A pair of corresponding angles measure $(3x+16)°$ and $(2x+34)°$ . What is the measure of each of these angles?

Corresponding angles are congruent: $3x+16=2x+34$ , so $x=18$ . Each angle measures $3(18)+16=70°$ .

Two parallel lines are cut by a transversal. Same-side interior angles measure $(6x-5)°$ and $(4x+15)°$ . What is the value of $x$ ?

Same-side interior angles are supplementary: $(6x-5)+(4x+15)=180$ , so $10x+10=180$ and $x=17$ .
