This diagram represents two parallel lines with a transversal. If y° = 158, what is the value of c°?

73% Answer Correctly
26
17
142
22

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 y° = 158, the value of c° is 22.

On this circle, line segment AB is the:

70% Answer Correctly

chord

diameter

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).

Solve for c:
4c + 2 = \( \frac{c}{-2} \)

46% Answer Correctly
-\(\frac{4}{9}\)
1\(\frac{1}{80}\)
1\(\frac{3}{13}\)
-2\(\frac{2}{3}\)

Solution

To solve this equation, repeatedly do the same thing to both sides of the equation until the variable is isolated on one side of the equal sign and the answer on the other.

4c + 2 = \( \frac{c}{-2} \)
-2 x (4c + 2) = c
(-2 x 4c) + (-2 x 2) = c
-8c - 4 = c
-8c - 4 - c = 0
-8c - c = 4
-9c = 4
c = \( \frac{4}{-9} \)
c = -\(\frac{4}{9}\)

To multiply binomials, use the FOIL method. Which of the following is not a part of the FOIL method?

83% Answer Correctly

Odd

Last

First

Inside


Solution

To multiply binomials, use the FOIL method. FOIL stands for First, Outside, Inside, Last and refers to the position of each term in the parentheses.


5

If the area of this square is 36, what is the length of one of the diagonals?

68% Answer Correctly
4\( \sqrt{2} \)
6\( \sqrt{2} \)
8\( \sqrt{2} \)
7\( \sqrt{2} \)

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 = \( \sqrt{a} \) = \( \sqrt{36} \) = 6

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 = 62 + 62
c2 = 72
c = \( \sqrt{72} \) = \( \sqrt{36 x 2} \) = \( \sqrt{36} \) \( \sqrt{2} \)
c = 6\( \sqrt{2} \)
