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

supplementary, vertical

acute, obtuse

vertical, supplementary

obtuse, acute


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

The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, -2) and (2, -6). What is the slope-intercept equation for this line?

41% Answer Correctly
y = -x + 2
y = -x - 4
y = -x + 1
y = 1\(\frac{1}{2}\)x + 0

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 -4. 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, -2) and (2, -6) so the slope becomes:

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(-6.0) - (-2.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{-4}{4} \)
m = -1

Plugging these values into the slope-intercept equation:

y = -x - 4


3

Simplify (6a)(6ab) - (4a2)(6b).

62% Answer Correctly
120a2b
120ab2
60a2b
12a2b

Solution

To multiply monomials, multiply the coefficients (the numbers that come before the variables) of each term, add the exponents of like variables, and multiply the different variables together.

(6a)(6ab) - (4a2)(6b)
(6 x 6)(a x a x b) - (4 x 6)(a2 x b)
(36)(a1+1 x b) - (24)(a2b)
36a2b - 24a2b
12a2b


4

The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 3 and radius (r) = 7. What is the surface area?

48% Answer Correctly
12π
140π
42π
224π

Solution

The surface area of a cylinder is 2πr2 + 2πrh:

sa = 2πr2 + 2πrh
sa = 2π(72) + 2π(7 x 3)
sa = 2π(49) + 2π(21)
sa = (2 x 49)π + (2 x 21)π
sa = 98π + 42π
sa = 140π


5

Which of the following statements about parallel lines with a transversal is not correct?

36% Answer Correctly

angles in the same position on different parallel lines are called corresponding angles

same-side interior angles are complementary and equal each other

all acute angles equal each other

all of the angles formed by a transversal are called interior angles


Solution

Parallel lines are lines that share the same slope (steepness) and therefore never intersect. A transversal occurs when a set of parallel lines are crossed by another line. All of the angles formed by a transversal are called interior angles and angles in the same position on different parallel lines equal each other (a° = w°, b° = x°, c° = z°, d° = y°) and are called corresponding angles. Alternate interior angles are equal (a° = z°, b° = y°, c° = w°, d° = x°) and all acute angles (a° = c° = w° = z°) and all obtuse angles (b° = d° = x° = y°) equal each other. Same-side interior angles are supplementary and add up to 180° (e.g. a° + d° = 180°, d° + c° = 180°).
