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

73% Answer Correctly
144
146
32
31

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° = 146, the value of d° is 146.


2

The formula for the area of a circle is which of the following?

24% Answer Correctly

c = π r

c = π r2

c = π d

c = π d2


Solution

The circumference of a circle is the distance around its perimeter and equals π (approx. 3.14159) x diameter: c = π d. The area of a circle is π x (radius)2 : a = π r2.

Simplify (6a)(4ab) + (7a2)(8b).

65% Answer Correctly
80ab2
32a2b
150a2b
80a2b

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.

(6a)(4ab) + (7a2)(8b)
(6 x 4)(a x a x b) + (7 x 8)(a2 x b)
(24)(a1+1 x b) + (56)(a2b)
24a2b + 56a2b
80a2b

If the base of this triangle is 7 and the height is 1, what is the area?

59% Answer Correctly
24\(\frac{1}{2}\)
71\(\frac{1}{2}\)
54
3\(\frac{1}{2}\)

Solution

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

a = ½bh
a = ½ x 7 x 1 = \( \frac{7}{2} \) = 3\(\frac{1}{2}\)


5

The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, 1) and (2, 5). What is the slope-intercept equation for this line?

41% Answer Correctly
y = 1\(\frac{1}{2}\)x + 2
y = -2\(\frac{1}{2}\)x + 1
y = x + 3
y = 1\(\frac{1}{2}\)x + 4

Solution

The slope-intercept equation for a line is y = mx + b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept of the line. From the graph, you can see that the y-intercept (the y-value from the point where the line crosses the y-axis) is 3. 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, 1) and (2, 5) so the slope becomes:

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(5.0) - (1.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{4}{4} \)
m = 1

Plugging these values into the slope-intercept equation:

y = x + 3
