This diagram represents two parallel lines with a transversal. If x° = 147, what is the value of a°?

73% Answer Correctly
12
14
33
159

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 x° = 147, the value of a° is 33.

Simplify (4a)(7ab) + (7a2)(2b).

65% Answer Correctly
14a2b
42a2b
14ab2
99a2b

Solution

To multiply monomials, multiply the coefficients (the numbers that come before the variables) of each term, add the exponents of like variables, and multiply the different variables together.

(4a)(7ab) + (7a2)(2b)
(4 x 7)(a x a x b) + (7 x 2)(a2 x b)
(28)(a1+1 x b) + (14)(a2b)
28a2b + 14a2b
42a2b


3

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

61% Answer Correctly

obtuse, acute

acute, obtuse

vertical, supplementary

supplementary, vertical


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).

The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, 1) and (2, 3). What is the slope-intercept equation for this line?

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

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 2. 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, 1) and (2, 3) so the slope becomes:

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(3.0) - (1.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{2}{4} \)
m = \(\frac{1}{2}\)

Plugging these values into the slope-intercept equation:

y = \(\frac{1}{2}\)x + 2

On this circle, line segment AB is the:

71% Answer Correctly

circumference

chord

radius

diameter


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).
