What is the area of a circle with a radius of 4?

70% Answer Correctly
49π
16π

Solution

The formula for area is πr2:

a = πr2
a = π(42)
a = 16π


2

Simplify (4a)(2ab) - (8a2)(7b).

62% Answer Correctly
90a2b
90ab2
-48a2b
64a2b

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.

(4a)(2ab) - (8a2)(7b)
(4 x 2)(a x a x b) - (8 x 7)(a2 x b)
(8)(a1+1 x b) - (56)(a2b)
8a2b - 56a2b
-48a2b

This diagram represents two parallel lines with a transversal. If y° = 169, what is the value of c°?

73% Answer Correctly
14
11
143
146

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 y° = 169, the value of c° is 11.


4

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

obtuse, acute

supplementary, vertical

acute, obtuse


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).


5

Which of the following statements about a triangle is not true?

58% Answer Correctly

exterior angle = sum of two adjacent interior angles

perimeter = sum of side lengths

area = ½bh

sum of interior angles = 180°


Solution

A triangle is a three-sided polygon. It has three interior angles that add up to 180° (a + b + c = 180°). An exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the two interior angles that are opposite (d = b + c). The perimeter of a triangle is equal to the sum of the lengths of its three sides, the height of a triangle is equal to the length from the base to the opposite vertex (angle) and the area equals one-half triangle base x height: a = ½ base x height.
