1

When two lines intersect, adjacent angles are __________ (they add up to 180°) and angles across from either other are __________ (they're equal).

61% Answer Correctly

acute, obtuse

vertical, supplementary

obtuse, acute

supplementary, vertical


Solution

Angles around a line add up to 180°. Angles around a point add up to 360°. When two lines intersect, adjacent angles are supplementary (they add up to 180°) and angles across from either other are vertical (they're equal).


2

A(n) __________ is to a parallelogram as a square is to a rectangle.

52% Answer Correctly

quadrilateral

triangle

trapezoid

rhombus


Solution

A rhombus is a parallelogram with four equal-length sides. A square is a rectangle with four equal-length sides.


3

The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, -4) and (2, -2). What is the slope-intercept equation for this line?

41% Answer Correctly
y = 2\(\frac{1}{2}\)x - 4
y = \(\frac{1}{2}\)x - 3
y = 2x + 1
y = 2\(\frac{1}{2}\)x - 3

Solution

The slope-intercept equation for a line is y = mx + b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept of the line. From the graph, you can see that the y-intercept (the y-value from the point where the line crosses the y-axis) is -3. The slope of this line is the change in y divided by the change in x. The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, -4) and (2, -2) so the slope becomes:

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(-2.0) - (-4.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{2}{4} \)
m = \(\frac{1}{2}\)

Plugging these values into the slope-intercept equation:

y = \(\frac{1}{2}\)x - 3


4

A cylinder with a radius (r) and a height (h) has a surface area of:

54% Answer Correctly

4π r2

π r2h2

2(π r2) + 2π rh

π r2h


Solution

A cylinder is a solid figure with straight parallel sides and a circular or oval cross section with a radius (r) and a height (h). The volume of a cylinder is π r2h and the surface area is 2(π r2) + 2π rh.


5

The formula for the area of a circle is which of the following?

24% Answer Correctly

c = π d2

c = π r2

c = π r

c = π d


Solution

The circumference of a circle is the distance around its perimeter and equals π (approx. 3.14159) x diameter: c = π d. The area of a circle is π x (radius)2 : a = π r2.
