1

If the length of AB equals the length of BD, point B __________ this line segment.

45% Answer Correctly

bisects

midpoints

trisects

intersects


Solution

A line segment is a portion of a line with a measurable length. The midpoint of a line segment is the point exactly halfway between the endpoints. The midpoint bisects (cuts in half) the line segment.


2

When two lines intersect, adjacent angles are __________ (they add up to 180°) and angles across from either other are __________ (they're equal).

60% 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).


3

What is 8a + 5a?

81% Answer Correctly
13a2
13a
3a2
40a2

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.

8a + 5a = 13a


4

Solve for y:
y2 + 14y + 33 = 2y + 1

48% Answer Correctly
5 or 1
7 or 2
-4 or -8
1 or -2

Solution

The first step to solve a quadratic expression that's not set to zero is to solve the equation so that it is set to zero:

y2 + 14y + 33 = 2y + 1
y2 + 14y + 33 - 1 = 2y
y2 + 14y - 2y + 32 = 0
y2 + 12y + 32 = 0

Next, factor the quadratic equation:

y2 + 12y + 32 = 0
(y + 4)(y + 8) = 0

For this expression to be true, the left side of the expression must equal zero. Therefore, either (y + 4) or (y + 8) must equal zero:

If (y + 4) = 0, y must equal -4
If (y + 8) = 0, y must equal -8

So the solution is that y = -4 or -8


5

The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 9 and radius (r) = 1. What is the volume?

62% Answer Correctly
72π
48π
96π

Solution

The volume of a cylinder is πr2h:

v = πr2h
v = π(12 x 9)
v = 9π
