On this circle, line segment CD is the:

46% Answer Correctly

radius

diameter

chord

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).


2

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

70% Answer Correctly
64π
16π

Solution

The formula for area is πr2:

a = πr2
a = π(42)
a = 16π


3

Which of the following is not a part of PEMDAS, the acronym for math order of operations?

91% Answer Correctly

division

exponents

pairs

addition


Solution

When solving an equation with two variables, replace the variables with the values given and then solve the now variable-free equation. (Remember order of operations, PEMDAS, Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication/Division, Addition/Subtraction.)

If angle a = 36° and angle b = 32° what is the length of angle d?

56% Answer Correctly
144°
148°
137°
130°

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° - 32° = 112°

So, d° = 32° + 112° = 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°

This diagram represents two parallel lines with a transversal. If b° = 145, what is the value of c°?

73% Answer Correctly
34
153
166
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 b° = 145, the value of c° is 35.
