1

On this circle, line segment CD is the:

46% Answer Correctly

chord

radius

circumference

diameter


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

Order the following types of angle from least number of degrees to most number of degrees.

75% Answer Correctly

acute, obtuse, right

right, acute, obtuse

acute, right, obtuse

right, obtuse, acute


Solution

An acute angle measures less than 90°, a right angle measures 90°, and an obtuse angle measures more than 90°.


3

Find the value of c:
3c + z = 1
c + 3z = 8

42% Answer Correctly
2\(\frac{1}{5}\)
-1\(\frac{4}{39}\)
-\(\frac{5}{8}\)
\(\frac{7}{9}\)

Solution

You need to find the value of c so solve the first equation in terms of z:

3c + z = 1
z = 1 - 3c

then substitute the result (1 - 3c) into the second equation:

c + 3(1 - 3c) = 8
c + (3 x 1) + (3 x -3c) = 8
c + 3 - 9c = 8
c - 9c = 8 - 3
-8c = 5
c = \( \frac{5}{-8} \)
c = -\(\frac{5}{8}\)


4

Which of the following is not true about both rectangles and squares?

63% Answer Correctly

the lengths of all sides are equal

all interior angles are right angles

the perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all four sides

the area is length x width


Solution

A rectangle is a parallelogram containing four right angles. Opposite sides (a = c, b = d) are equal and the perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all sides (a + b + c + d) or, comonly, 2 x length x width. The area of a rectangle is length x width. A square is a rectangle with four equal length sides. The perimeter of a square is 4 x length of one side (4s) and the area is the length of one side squared (s2).


5

Simplify 2a x 5b.

86% Answer Correctly
10a2b2
10ab
7ab
10\( \frac{b}{a} \)

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.

2a x 5b = (2 x 5) (a x b) = 10ab
