1

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

acute, obtuse

vertical, supplementary

supplementary, vertical

obtuse, acute
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).

2

To multiply binomials, use the FOIL method. Which of the following is not a part of the FOIL method?

84% Answer Correctly

Odd

Inside

First

Last
Solution

To multiply binomials, use the FOIL method. FOIL stands for First, Outside, Inside, Last and refers to the position of each term in the parentheses.

3

What is 9a + 3a?

82% Answer Correctly
12
6
27a2
12a
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.

9a + 3a = 12a

4

The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, 7) and (2, -3). What is the slope of this line?

46% Answer Correctly
1
-2\(\frac{1}{2}\)
2
-1
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, 7) and (2, -3) so the slope becomes:

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(-3.0) - (7.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{-10}{4} \)
m = -2\(\frac{1}{2}\)

5

If the base of this triangle is 9 and the height is 3, what is the area?

58% Answer Correctly
98
78
90
13\(\frac{1}{2}\)
Solution

The area of a triangle is equal to ½ base x height:

a = ½bh
a = ½ x 9 x 3 = \( \frac{27}{2} \) = 13\(\frac{1}{2}\)
