This diagram represents two parallel lines with a transversal. If d° = 146, what is the value of b°?

73% Answer Correctly
31
166
146
36

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 d° = 146, the value of b° is 146.

What is the circumference of a circle with a diameter of 13?

71% Answer Correctly
12π
13π
18π

Solution

The formula for circumference is circle diameter x π:

c = πd
c = 13π

Find the value of c:
-c + y = -1
-8c + 4y = 8

42% Answer Correctly
-\(\frac{3}{16}\)
1\(\frac{1}{3}\)
-1\(\frac{2}{9}\)
-3

Solution

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

-c + y = -1
y = -1 + c

then substitute the result (-1 - -1c) into the second equation:

-8c + 4(-1 + c) = 8
-8c + (4 x -1) + (4 x c) = 8
-8c - 4 + 4c = 8
-8c + 4c = 8 + 4
-4c = 12
c = \( \frac{12}{-4} \)
c = -3

If the area of this square is 16, what is the length of one of the diagonals?

68% Answer Correctly
9\( \sqrt{2} \)
3\( \sqrt{2} \)
4\( \sqrt{2} \)
8\( \sqrt{2} \)

Solution

To find the diagonal we need to know the length of one of the square's sides. We know the area and the area of a square is the length of one side squared:

a = s2

so the length of one side of the square is:

s = \( \sqrt{a} \) = \( \sqrt{16} \) = 4

The Pythagorean theorem defines the square of the hypotenuse (diagonal) of a triangle with a right angle as the sum of the squares of the other two sides:

c2 = a2 + b2
c2 = 42 + 42
c2 = 32
c = \( \sqrt{32} \) = \( \sqrt{16 x 2} \) = \( \sqrt{16} \) \( \sqrt{2} \)
c = 4\( \sqrt{2} \)

A right angle measures:

91% Answer Correctly

90°

360°

180°

45°


Solution

A right angle measures 90 degrees and is the intersection of two perpendicular lines. In diagrams, a right angle is indicated by a small box completing a square with the perpendicular lines.
