On this circle, line segment AB is the:

71% Answer Correctly

diameter

chord

radius

circumference


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).

Find the value of c:
-2c + x = -7
-2c - 6x = -5

42% Answer Correctly
2\(\frac{1}{7}\)
3\(\frac{5}{14}\)
-\(\frac{3}{7}\)
-\(\frac{5}{7}\)

Solution

You need to find the value of c so solve the first equation in terms of x:

-2c + x = -7
x = -7 + 2c

then substitute the result (-7 - -2c) into the second equation:

-2c - 6(-7 + 2c) = -5
-2c + (-6 x -7) + (-6 x 2c) = -5
-2c + 42 - 12c = -5
-2c - 12c = -5 - 42
-14c = -47
c = \( \frac{-47}{-14} \)
c = 3\(\frac{5}{14}\)

Simplify (5a)(2ab) + (4a2)(8b).

65% Answer Correctly
-22a2b
42a2b
84a2b
22a2b

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.

(5a)(2ab) + (4a2)(8b)
(5 x 2)(a x a x b) + (4 x 8)(a2 x b)
(10)(a1+1 x b) + (32)(a2b)
10a2b + 32a2b
42a2b

If angle a = 36° and angle b = 57° what is the length of angle d?

56% Answer Correctly
118°
121°
144°
145°

Solution

An exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the two interior angles that are opposite:

d° = b° + c°

To find angle c, remember that the sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°:

180° = a° + b° + c°
c° = 180° - a° - b°
c° = 180° - 36° - 57° = 87°

So, d° = 57° + 87° = 144°

A shortcut to get this answer is to remember that angles around a line add up to 180°:

a° + d° = 180°
d° = 180° - a°
d° = 180° - 36° = 144°

What is 4a - 7a?

80% Answer Correctly
28a
a2
-3a
-3

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.

4a - 7a = -3a
