1

If the length of AB equals the length of BD, point B __________ this line segment.

45% Answer Correctly

midpoints

trisects

bisects

intersects


Solution

A line segment is a portion of a line with a measurable length. The midpoint of a line segment is the point exactly halfway between the endpoints. The midpoint bisects (cuts in half) the line segment.


2

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

53% Answer Correctly

4π r2

π r2h2

π r2h

2(π r2) + 2π rh


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.


3

Simplify (y + 1)(y - 2)

63% Answer Correctly
y2 + 3y + 2
y2 + y - 2
y2 - 3y + 2
y2 - y - 2

Solution

To multiply binomials, use the FOIL method. FOIL stands for First, Outside, Inside, Last and refers to the position of each term in the parentheses:

(y + 1)(y - 2)
(y x y) + (y x -2) + (1 x y) + (1 x -2)
y2 - 2y + y - 2
y2 - y - 2


4

If a = c = 9, b = d = 4, what is the area of this rectangle?

79% Answer Correctly
18
36
27
1

Solution

The area of a rectangle is equal to its length x width:

a = l x w
a = a x b
a = 9 x 4
a = 36


5

Solve for b:
-9b + 1 < \( \frac{b}{-8} \)

44% Answer Correctly
b < \(\frac{7}{22}\)
b < -18
b < \(\frac{8}{71}\)
b < -3\(\frac{6}{7}\)

Solution

To solve this equation, repeatedly do the same thing to both sides of the equation until the variable is isolated on one side of the < sign and the answer on the other.

-9b + 1 < \( \frac{b}{-8} \)
-8 x (-9b + 1) < b
(-8 x -9b) + (-8 x 1) < b
72b - 8 < b
72b - 8 - b < 0
72b - b < 8
71b < 8
b < \( \frac{8}{71} \)
b < \(\frac{8}{71}\)
