1

What is the circumference of a circle with a diameter of 3?

70% Answer Correctly
3π
11π
36π
2π

Solution

The formula for circumference is circle diameter x π:

c = πd
c = 3π


2

When two lines intersect, adjacent angles are __________ (they add up to 180°) and angles across from either other are __________ (they're equal).

60% 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).


3

Simplify (y - 6)(y + 2)

62% Answer Correctly
y2 - 4y - 12
y2 - 8y + 12
y2 + 4y - 12
y2 + 8y + 12

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 - 6)(y + 2)
(y x y) + (y x 2) + (-6 x y) + (-6 x 2)
y2 + 2y - 6y - 12
y2 - 4y - 12


4

If a = c = 3, b = d = 9, and the blue angle = 63°, what is the area of this parallelogram?

65% Answer Correctly
49
27
30
72

Solution

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

a = l x w
a = a x b
a = 3 x 9
a = 27


5

Solve 7b + 7b = 8b - 4y + 9 for b in terms of y.

34% Answer Correctly
3y + 1\(\frac{1}{2}\)
\(\frac{1}{8}\)y - \(\frac{9}{16}\)
11y - 9
1\(\frac{1}{8}\)y - 1

Solution

To solve this equation, isolate the variable for which you are solving (b) on one side of the equation and put everything else on the other side.

7b + 7y = 8b - 4y + 9
7b = 8b - 4y + 9 - 7y
7b - 8b = -4y + 9 - 7y
-b = -11y + 9
b = \( \frac{-11y + 9}{-1} \)
b = \( \frac{-11y}{-1} \) + \( \frac{9}{-1} \)
b = 11y - 9
