1

For this diagram, the Pythagorean theorem states that b2 = ?

47% Answer Correctly

c - a

a2 - c2

c2 - a2

c2 + a2


Solution

The Pythagorean theorem defines the relationship between the side lengths of a right triangle. The length of the hypotenuse squared (c2) is equal to the sum of the two perpendicular sides squared (a2 + b2): c2 = a2 + b2 or, solved for c, \(c = \sqrt{a + b}\)


2

This diagram represents two parallel lines with a transversal. If z° = 19, what is the value of x°?

73% Answer Correctly
169
14
163
161

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 z° = 19, the value of x° is 161.


3

What is the area of a circle with a diameter of 10?

69% Answer Correctly
64π
81π
25π

Solution

The formula for area is πr2. Radius is circle \( \frac{diameter}{2} \):

r = \( \frac{d}{2} \)
r = \( \frac{10}{2} \)
r = 5
a = πr2
a = π(52)
a = 25π


4

Solve for x:
-2x - 5 > 5 + 9x

55% Answer Correctly
x > -\(\frac{10}{11}\)
x > 1\(\frac{1}{6}\)
x > \(\frac{1}{6}\)
x > -2\(\frac{1}{3}\)

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 > sign and the answer on the other.

-2x - 5 > 5 + 9x
-2x > 5 + 9x + 5
-2x - 9x > 5 + 5
-11x > 10
x > \( \frac{10}{-11} \)
x > -\(\frac{10}{11}\)


5

The formula for the area of a circle is which of the following?

77% Answer Correctly

a = π d2

a = π r2

a = π d

a = π r


Solution

The circumference of a circle is the distance around its perimeter and equals π (approx. 3.14159) x diameter: c = π d. The area of a circle is π x (radius)2 : a = π r2.
