1

If the length of AB equals the length of BD, point B __________ this line segment.

45% Answer Correctly

trisects

midpoints

intersects

bisects


Solution

A line segment is a portion of a line with a measurable length. The midpoint of a line segment is the point exactly halfway between the endpoints. The midpoint bisects (cuts in half) the line segment.


2

The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 4 and radius (r) = 1. What is the surface area?

48% Answer Correctly
72π
20π
10π
48π

Solution

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

sa = 2πr2 + 2πrh
sa = 2π(12) + 2π(1 x 4)
sa = 2π(1) + 2π(4)
sa = (2 x 1)π + (2 x 4)π
sa = 2π + 8π
sa = 10π


3

If side x = 6cm, side y = 8cm, and side z = 8cm what is the perimeter of this triangle?

84% Answer Correctly
28cm
35cm
22cm
18cm

Solution

The perimeter of a triangle is the sum of the lengths of its sides:

p = x + y + z
p = 6cm + 8cm + 8cm = 22cm


4

Solve for x:
-2x + 5 = \( \frac{x}{6} \)

46% Answer Correctly
-2\(\frac{1}{4}\)
-1\(\frac{5}{13}\)
3\(\frac{3}{13}\)
2\(\frac{4}{13}\)

Solution

To solve this equation, repeatedly do the same thing to both sides of the equation until the variable is isolated on one side of the equal sign and the answer on the other.

-2x + 5 = \( \frac{x}{6} \)
6 x (-2x + 5) = x
(6 x -2x) + (6 x 5) = x
-12x + 30 = x
-12x + 30 - x = 0
-12x - x = -30
-13x = -30
x = \( \frac{-30}{-13} \)
x = 2\(\frac{4}{13}\)


5

If b = 3 and z = -4, what is the value of -7b(b - z)?

68% Answer Correctly
192
-42
0
-147

Solution

To solve this equation, replace the variables with the values given and then solve the now variable-free equation. (Remember order of operations, PEMDAS, Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication/Division, Addition/Subtraction.)

-7b(b - z)
-7(3)(3 + 4)
-7(3)(7)
(-21)(7)
-147
