1

On this circle, a line segment connecting point A to point D is called:

46% Answer Correctly

diameter

radius

chord

circumference


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).


2

To multiply binomials, use the FOIL method. Which of the following is not a part of the FOIL method?

83% Answer Correctly

First

Last

Odd

Inside


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.


3

The dimensions of this cube are height (h) = 4, length (l) = 7, and width (w) = 6. What is the surface area?

51% Answer Correctly
384
188
38
92

Solution

The surface area of a cube is (2 x length x width) + (2 x width x height) + (2 x length x height):

sa = 2lw + 2wh + 2lh
sa = (2 x 7 x 6) + (2 x 6 x 4) + (2 x 7 x 4)
sa = (84) + (48) + (56)
sa = 188


4

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

70% Answer Correctly

right angle

parallel

equal length

equal angle


Solution

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


5

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

41% Answer Correctly
y = -2x + 4
y = -3x + 0
y = 2x + 1
y = 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 0. 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, 6) and (2, -6) so the slope becomes:

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(-6.0) - (6.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{-12}{4} \)
m = -3

Plugging these values into the slope-intercept equation:

y = -3x + 0
