Explanation:

The tangent function is a trigonometric function that involves angles. Hence, the math book is telling the geometry book not to bother it because it is working on its tan.

Why did the calculator get a degree in mathematics?

  1. Because it wanted to be a pro-tractor.

  2. Because it wanted to learn how to count.

  3. Because it wanted to be a statistician.

  4. Because it wanted to be a mathematician.


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

A protractor is a tool used to measure angles, and a calculator can be used to perform mathematical calculations. Hence, the calculator got a degree in mathematics to become a pro-tractor.

What did the math teacher say to the student who couldn't solve the equation?

  1. You're making a mistake.

  2. You're not using the right formula.

  3. You need to practice more.

  4. You're not thinking outside the box.


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

When a student cannot solve an equation, it is likely because they have made a mistake in their calculations or have not used the correct formula. Hence, the math teacher tells the student that they are making a mistake.

Why did the math student eat his homework?

  1. Because he wanted to solve it.

  2. Because he was hungry for knowledge.

  3. Because he thought it was delicious.

  4. Because he wanted to get a good grade.


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Eating homework is a humorous way of saying that the student is trying to solve it. It is a play on words, as eating is typically associated with consuming food, while solving homework is associated with completing academic work.

What did the math book say to the geometry book?

  1. You're always making me feel acute.

  2. You're so right-angled.

  3. You're always making me feel sine-ful.

  4. You're always making me feel off-center.


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

An acute angle is a sharp angle, and the math book is saying that the geometry book is making it feel sharp or uncomfortable. This is a humorous way of expressing the relationship between math and geometry, as geometry often involves angles and shapes.

Why did the math teacher marry the geometry teacher?

  1. Because they had a lot of chemistry.

  2. Because they were always on the same page.

  3. Because they were always solving problems together.

  4. Because they were always making angles.


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Being on the same page is a figurative expression that means being in agreement or understanding. In this case, the math teacher and the geometry teacher are always on the same page because they both teach mathematics and share a common understanding of the subject.

What did the math student say to the calculator?

  1. Can you help me solve this problem?

  2. Can you check my answer?

  3. Can you teach me some math?

  4. Can you be my friend?


Correct Option: A
