On this circle, line segment AB is the:

70% Answer Correctly

radius

circumference

chord

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).

If side a = 2, side b = 9, what is the length of the hypotenuse of this right triangle?

63% Answer Correctly
\( \sqrt{85} \)
\( \sqrt{130} \)
\( \sqrt{80} \)
\( \sqrt{50} \)

Solution

According to the Pythagorean theorem, the hypotenuse squared is equal to the sum of the two perpendicular sides squared:

c2 = a2 + b2
c2 = 22 + 92
c2 = 4 + 81
c2 = 85
c = \( \sqrt{85} \)


3

A trapezoid is a quadrilateral with one set of __________ sides.

70% Answer Correctly

right angle

parallel

equal angle

equal length


Solution

A trapezoid is a quadrilateral with one set of parallel sides.


4

Which of the following is not a part of PEMDAS, the acronym for math order of operations?

87% Answer Correctly

pairs

division

exponents

addition


Solution

When solving an equation with two variables, 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.)


5

If a = c = 6, b = d = 9, what is the area of this rectangle?

79% Answer Correctly
54
12
2
72

Solution

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

a = l x w
a = a x b
a = 6 x 9
a = 54
