On this circle, line segment CD is the:

46% Answer Correctly

chord

circumference

diameter

radius


Solution

A circle is a figure in which each point around its perimeter is an equal distance from the center. The radius of a circle is the distance between the center and any point along its perimeter. A chord is a line segment that connects any two points along its perimeter. The diameter of a circle is the length of a chord that passes through the center of the circle and equals twice the circle's radius (2r).

Which of the following statements about math operations is incorrect?

70% Answer Correctly

you can subtract monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent

you can multiply monomials that have different variables and different exponents

all of these statements are correct

you can add monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent


Solution

You can only add or subtract monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent. For example, 2a + 4a = 6a and 4a2 - a2 = 3a2 but 2a + 4b and 7a - 3b cannot be combined. However, you can multiply and divide monomials with unlike terms. For example, 2a x 6b = 12ab.

Which of the following is not required to define the slope-intercept equation for a line?

42% Answer Correctly

\({\Delta y \over \Delta x}\)

x-intercept

slope

y-intercept


Solution

A line on the coordinate grid can be defined by a slope-intercept equation: y = mx + b. For a given value of x, the value of y can be determined given the slope (m) and y-intercept (b) of the line. The slope of a line is change in y over change in x, \({\Delta y \over \Delta x}\), and the y-intercept is the y-coordinate where the line crosses the vertical y-axis.


4

A trapezoid is a quadrilateral with one set of __________ sides.

69% Answer Correctly

equal length

equal angle

parallel

right angle


Solution

A trapezoid is a quadrilateral with one set of parallel sides.


5

If side x = 14cm, side y = 14cm, and side z = 12cm what is the perimeter of this triangle?

84% Answer Correctly
35cm
38cm
40cm
22cm

Solution

The perimeter of a triangle is the sum of the lengths of its sides:

p = x + y + z
p = 14cm + 14cm + 12cm = 40cm
