1

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

61% Answer Correctly

vertical, supplementary

supplementary, vertical

acute, obtuse

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).


2

The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, -2) and (2, 6). What is the slope of this line?

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

Solution

The slope of this line is the change in y divided by the change in x. The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, -2) and (2, 6) so the slope becomes:

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(6.0) - (-2.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{8}{4} \)
m = 2


3

What is 6a6 - 4a6?

74% Answer Correctly
2a12
2a6
24a12
10a12

Solution

To combine like terms, add or subtract the coefficients (the numbers that come before the variables) of terms that have the same variable raised to the same exponent.

6a6 - 4a6 = 2a6


4

If the area of this square is 1, what is the length of one of the diagonals?

68% Answer Correctly
3\( \sqrt{2} \)
2\( \sqrt{2} \)
4\( \sqrt{2} \)
\( \sqrt{2} \)

Solution

To find the diagonal we need to know the length of one of the square's sides. We know the area and the area of a square is the length of one side squared:

a = s2

so the length of one side of the square is:

s = \( \sqrt{a} \) = \( \sqrt{1} \) = 1

The Pythagorean theorem defines the square of the hypotenuse (diagonal) of a triangle with a right angle as the sum of the squares of the other two sides:

c2 = a2 + b2
c2 = 12 + 12
c2 = 2
c = \( \sqrt{2} \)


5

A(n) __________ is to a parallelogram as a square is to a rectangle.

52% Answer Correctly

trapezoid

triangle

quadrilateral

rhombus


Solution

A rhombus is a parallelogram with four equal-length sides. A square is a rectangle with four equal-length sides.
