This diagram represents two parallel lines with a transversal. If a° = 30, what is the value of c°?

73% Answer Correctly
40
24
30
35

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 a° = 30, the value of c° is 30.


2

Which of the following statements about math operations is incorrect?

70% Answer Correctly

you can subtract monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent

all of these statements are correct

you can multiply monomials that have different variables and different exponents

you can add monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent


Solution

You can only add or subtract monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent. For example, 2a + 4a = 6a and 4a2 - a2 = 3a2 but 2a + 4b and 7a - 3b cannot be combined. However, you can multiply and divide monomials with unlike terms. For example, 2a x 6b = 12ab.


3

What is the area of a circle with a diameter of 4?

69% Answer Correctly
64π

Solution

The formula for area is πr2. Radius is circle \( \frac{diameter}{2} \):

r = \( \frac{d}{2} \)
r = \( \frac{4}{2} \)
r = 2
a = πr2
a = π(22)
a = 4π


4

Which types of triangles will always have at least two sides of equal length?

54% Answer Correctly

equilateral and isosceles

equilateral, isosceles and right

equilateral and right

isosceles and right


Solution

An isosceles triangle has two sides of equal length. An equilateral triangle has three sides of equal length. In a right triangle, two sides meet at a right angle.


5

The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, -4) and (2, 8). What is the slope of this line?

46% Answer Correctly
2
3
1\(\frac{1}{2}\)
-3

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, -4) and (2, 8) so the slope becomes:

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(8.0) - (-4.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{12}{4} \)
m = 3
