This diagram represents two parallel lines with a transversal. If d° = 150, what is the value of y°?

73% Answer Correctly
150
168
140
17

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 d° = 150, the value of y° is 150.


2

The dimensions of this cube are height (h) = 1, length (l) = 5, and width (w) = 8. What is the volume?

83% Answer Correctly
84
40
192
25

Solution

The volume of a cube is height x length x width:

v = h x l x w
v = 1 x 5 x 8
v = 40


3

A(n) __________ is two expressions separated by an equal sign.

76% Answer Correctly

equation

problem

formula

expression


Solution

An equation is two expressions separated by an equal sign. The key to solving equations is to 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.


4

The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, -5) and (2, -3). What is the slope of this line?

46% Answer Correctly
2\(\frac{1}{2}\)
\(\frac{1}{2}\)
-2
-1\(\frac{1}{2}\)

Solution

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, -5) and (2, -3) so the slope becomes:

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(-3.0) - (-5.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{2}{4} \)
m = \(\frac{1}{2}\)

Solve -5c - 5c = -9c - 4x - 3 for c in terms of x.

34% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{6}{7}\)x + \(\frac{2}{7}\)
-\(\frac{9}{14}\)x - \(\frac{4}{7}\)
\(\frac{1}{4}\)x - \(\frac{3}{4}\)
x - 1

Solution

To solve this equation, isolate the variable for which you are solving (c) on one side of the equation and put everything else on the other side.

-5c - 5x = -9c - 4x - 3
-5c = -9c - 4x - 3 + 5x
-5c + 9c = -4x - 3 + 5x
4c = x - 3
c = \( \frac{x - 3}{4} \)
c = \( \frac{x}{4} \) + \( \frac{-3}{4} \)
c = \(\frac{1}{4}\)x - \(\frac{3}{4}\)
