If the length of AB equals the length of BD, point B __________ this line segment.
midpoints |
|
intersects |
|
trisects |
|
bisects |
A line segment is a portion of a line with a measurable length. The midpoint of a line segment is the point exactly halfway between the endpoints. The midpoint bisects (cuts in half) the line segment.
A right angle measures:
180° |
|
90° |
|
45° |
|
360° |
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.
Solve for z:
z2 - 20z + 67 = -3z - 5
| 5 or -8 | |
| 2 or -3 | |
| 3 or -2 | |
| 8 or 9 |
The first step to solve a quadratic expression that's not set to zero is to solve the equation so that it is set to zero:
z2 - 20z + 67 = -3z - 5
z2 - 20z + 67 + 5 = -3z
z2 - 20z + 3z + 72 = 0
z2 - 17z + 72 = 0
Next, factor the quadratic equation:
z2 - 17z + 72 = 0
(z - 8)(z - 9) = 0
For this expression to be true, the left side of the expression must equal zero. Therefore, either (z - 8) or (z - 9) must equal zero:
If (z - 8) = 0, z must equal 8
If (z - 9) = 0, z must equal 9
So the solution is that z = 8 or 9
Which of the following statements about a triangle is not true?
perimeter = sum of side lengths |
|
sum of interior angles = 180° |
|
exterior angle = sum of two adjacent interior angles |
|
area = ½bh |
A triangle is a three-sided polygon. It has three interior angles that add up to 180° (a + b + c = 180°). An exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the two interior angles that are opposite (d = b + c). The perimeter of a triangle is equal to the sum of the lengths of its three sides, the height of a triangle is equal to the length from the base to the opposite vertex (angle) and the area equals one-half triangle base x height: a = ½ base x height.
What is the circumference of a circle with a diameter of 13?
| 9π | |
| 13π | |
| 24π | |
| 1π |
The formula for circumference is circle diameter x π:
c = πd
c = 13π
