The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, 1) and (2, 7). What is the slope of this line?
| 2 | |
| \(\frac{1}{2}\) | |
| -2\(\frac{1}{2}\) | |
| 1\(\frac{1}{2}\) |
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, 1) and (2, 7) so the slope becomes:
m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(7.0) - (1.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{6}{4} \)If the area of this square is 25, what is the length of one of the diagonals?
| 7\( \sqrt{2} \) | |
| 8\( \sqrt{2} \) | |
| \( \sqrt{2} \) | |
| 5\( \sqrt{2} \) |
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 = \( \sqrt{a} \) = \( \sqrt{25} \) = 5
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 = 52 + 52
c2 = 50
c = \( \sqrt{50} \) = \( \sqrt{25 x 2} \) = \( \sqrt{25} \) \( \sqrt{2} \)
c = 5\( \sqrt{2} \)
Which of the following statements about a parallelogram is not true?
a parallelogram is a quadrilateral |
|
the area of a parallelogram is base x height |
|
opposite sides and adjacent angles are equal |
|
the perimeter of a parallelogram is the sum of the lengths of all sides |
A parallelogram is a quadrilateral with two sets of parallel sides. Opposite sides (a = c, b = d) and angles (red = red, blue = blue) are equal. The area of a parallelogram is base x height and the perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all sides (a + b + c + d).
When two lines intersect, adjacent angles are __________ (they add up to 180°) and angles across from either other are __________ (they're equal).
vertical, supplementary |
|
acute, obtuse |
|
supplementary, vertical |
|
obtuse, acute |
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).
If a = c = 8, b = d = 1, and the blue angle = 65°, what is the area of this parallelogram?
| 12 | |
| 30 | |
| 4 | |
| 8 |
The area of a parallelogram is equal to its length x width:
a = l x w
a = a x b
a = 8 x 1
a = 8
