This diagram represents two parallel lines with a transversal. If d° = 151, what is the value of b°?

73% Answer Correctly
146
151
155
158

Solution

For parallel lines with a transversal, the following relationships apply:

  • angles in the same position on different parallel lines equal each other (a° = w°, b° = x°, c° = z°, d° = y°)
  • alternate interior angles are equal (a° = z°, b° = y°, c° = w°, d° = x°)
  • 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°)

Applying these relationships starting with d° = 151, the value of b° is 151.

The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 6 and radius (r) = 9. What is the surface area?

48% Answer Correctly
20π
48π
270π
182π

Solution

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

sa = 2πr2 + 2πrh
sa = 2π(92) + 2π(9 x 6)
sa = 2π(81) + 2π(54)
sa = (2 x 81)π + (2 x 54)π
sa = 162π + 108π
sa = 270π

Simplify (6a)(5ab) + (5a2)(6b).

65% Answer Correctly
60ab2
60a2b
121ab2
121a2b

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)(5ab) + (5a2)(6b)
(6 x 5)(a x a x b) + (5 x 6)(a2 x b)
(30)(a1+1 x b) + (30)(a2b)
30a2b + 30a2b
60a2b

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


5

A coordinate grid is composed of which of the following?

91% Answer Correctly

origin

all of these

y-axis

x-axis


Solution

The coordinate grid is composed of a horizontal x-axis and a vertical y-axis. The center of the grid, where the x-axis and y-axis meet, is called the origin.
