1

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

46% Answer Correctly

trisects

bisects

midpoints

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

Solve for b:
b2 - 3 = -3b + 1

49% Answer Correctly
2 or 2
-2 or -3
-3 or -9
1 or -4

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:

b2 - 3 = -3b + 1
b2 - 3 - 1 = -3b
b2 + + 3b - 4 = 0
b2 + 3b - 4 = 0

Next, factor the quadratic equation:

b2 + 3b - 4 = 0
(b - 1)(b + 4) = 0

For this expression to be true, the left side of the expression must equal zero. Therefore, either (b - 1) or (b + 4) must equal zero:

If (b - 1) = 0, b must equal 1
If (b + 4) = 0, b must equal -4

So the solution is that b = 1 or -4


3

On this circle, line segment CD is the:

46% Answer Correctly

circumference

radius

diameter

chord


Solution

A circle is a figure in which each point around its perimeter is an equal distance from the center. The radius of a circle is the distance between the center and any point along its perimeter. A chord is a line segment that connects any two points along its perimeter. The diameter of a circle is the length of a chord that passes through the center of the circle and equals twice the circle's radius (2r).


4

If angle a = 45° and angle b = 46° what is the length of angle c?

71% Answer Correctly
89°
102°
91°
63°

Solution

The sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°:
180° = a° + b° + c°
c° = 180° - a° - b°
c° = 180° - 45° - 46° = 89°


5

If a = c = 9, b = d = 4, what is the area of this rectangle?

80% Answer Correctly
36
28
18
16

Solution

The area of a rectangle is equal to its length x width:

a = l x w
a = a x b
a = 9 x 4
a = 36
