On this circle, line segment AB is the:

71% Answer Correctly

chord

circumference

radius

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 a = c = 7, b = d = 6, what is the area of this rectangle?

80% Answer Correctly
5
35
24
42

Solution

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

a = l x w
a = a x b
a = 7 x 6
a = 42


3

Which of the following is not required to define the slope-intercept equation for a line?

42% Answer Correctly

slope

\({\Delta y \over \Delta x}\)

x-intercept

y-intercept


Solution

A line on the coordinate grid can be defined by a slope-intercept equation: y = mx + b. For a given value of x, the value of y can be determined given the slope (m) and y-intercept (b) of the line. The slope of a line is change in y over change in x, \({\Delta y \over \Delta x}\), and the y-intercept is the y-coordinate where the line crosses the vertical y-axis.


4

The dimensions of this cube are height (h) = 7, length (l) = 1, and width (w) = 9. What is the surface area?

51% Answer Correctly
382
158
188
52

Solution

The surface area of a cube is (2 x length x width) + (2 x width x height) + (2 x length x height):

sa = 2lw + 2wh + 2lh
sa = (2 x 1 x 9) + (2 x 9 x 7) + (2 x 1 x 7)
sa = (18) + (126) + (14)
sa = 158


5

If the base of this triangle is 4 and the height is 2, what is the area?

58% Answer Correctly
4
17\(\frac{1}{2}\)
31\(\frac{1}{2}\)
75

Solution

The area of a triangle is equal to ½ base x height:

a = ½bh
a = ½ x 4 x 2 = \( \frac{8}{2} \) = 4
