1

What is the circumference of a circle with a diameter of 4?

71% Answer Correctly
17π
18π

Solution

The formula for circumference is circle diameter x π:

c = πd
c = 4π


2

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

57% Answer Correctly

exterior angle = sum of two adjacent interior angles

area = ½bh

perimeter = sum of side lengths

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.


3

A right angle measures:

90% Answer Correctly

180°

45°

360°

90°


Solution

A right angle measures 90 degrees and is the intersection of two perpendicular lines. In diagrams, a right angle is indicated by a small box completing a square with the perpendicular lines.


4

The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, -2) and (2, -4). What is the slope-intercept equation for this line?

41% Answer Correctly
y = -3x - 4
y = -\(\frac{1}{2}\)x - 3
y = -\(\frac{1}{2}\)x + 3
y = -\(\frac{1}{2}\)x + 1

Solution

The slope-intercept equation for a line is y = mx + b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept of the line. From the graph, you can see that the y-intercept (the y-value from the point where the line crosses the y-axis) is -3. 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, -4) so the slope becomes:

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(-4.0) - (-2.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{-2}{4} \)
m = -\(\frac{1}{2}\)

Plugging these values into the slope-intercept equation:

y = -\(\frac{1}{2}\)x - 3


5

Which types of triangles will always have at least two sides of equal length?

54% Answer Correctly

equilateral and isosceles

isosceles and right

equilateral, isosceles and right

equilateral and right


Solution

An isosceles triangle has two sides of equal length. An equilateral triangle has three sides of equal length. In a right triangle, two sides meet at a right angle.
