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

41% 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.

The dimensions of this cube are height (h) = 4, length (l) = 6, and width (w) = 8. What is the volume?

82% Answer Correctly
192
252
48
160

Solution

The volume of a cube is height x length x width:

v = h x l x w
v = 4 x 6 x 8
v = 192


3

The dimensions of this cube are height (h) = 6, length (l) = 9, and width (w) = 6. What is the surface area?

51% Answer Correctly
110
288
254
234

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 9 x 6) + (2 x 6 x 6) + (2 x 9 x 6)
sa = (108) + (72) + (108)
sa = 288


4

On this circle, line segment AB is the:

70% Answer Correctly

circumference

radius

diameter

chord


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).


5

Which of the following statements about a parallelogram is not true?

49% Answer Correctly

a parallelogram is a quadrilateral

the area of a parallelogram is base x height

opposite sides and adjacent angles are equal

the perimeter of a parallelogram is the sum of the lengths of all sides


Solution

A parallelogram is a quadrilateral with two sets of parallel sides. Opposite sides (a = c, b = d) and angles (red = red, blue = blue) are equal. The area of a parallelogram is base x height and the perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all sides (a + b + c + d).
