What is the area of a circle with a diameter of 10?

69% Answer Correctly
25π
64π
81π

Solution

The formula for area is πr2. Radius is circle \( \frac{diameter}{2} \):

r = \( \frac{d}{2} \)
r = \( \frac{10}{2} \)
r = 5
a = πr2
a = π(52)
a = 25π


2

What is 2a - 9a?

79% Answer Correctly
11
-7a
-7a2
18a2

Solution

To combine like terms, add or subtract the coefficients (the numbers that come before the variables) of terms that have the same variable raised to the same exponent.

2a - 9a = -7a


3

Solve for a:
-8a - 4 = \( \frac{a}{-5} \)

46% Answer Correctly
-\(\frac{20}{39}\)
-\(\frac{8}{15}\)
\(\frac{6}{11}\)
\(\frac{8}{15}\)

Solution

To solve this equation, repeatedly do the same thing to both sides of the equation until the variable is isolated on one side of the equal sign and the answer on the other.

-8a - 4 = \( \frac{a}{-5} \)
-5 x (-8a - 4) = a
(-5 x -8a) + (-5 x -4) = a
40a + 20 = a
40a + 20 - a = 0
40a - a = -20
39a = -20
a = \( \frac{-20}{39} \)
a = -\(\frac{20}{39}\)


4

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

49% Answer Correctly

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


Solution

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).

This diagram represents two parallel lines with a transversal. If c° = 29, what is the value of y°?

73% Answer Correctly
152
156
34
151

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 c° = 29, the value of y° is 151.
