On this circle, line segment AB is the:

70% Answer Correctly

radius

circumference

chord

diameter


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

When two lines intersect, adjacent angles are __________ (they add up to 180°) and angles across from either other are __________ (they're equal).

60% Answer Correctly

vertical, supplementary

supplementary, vertical

obtuse, acute

acute, obtuse


Solution

Angles around a line add up to 180°. Angles around a point add up to 360°. When two lines intersect, adjacent angles are supplementary (they add up to 180°) and angles across from either other are vertical (they're equal).


3

Which of the following statements about math operations is incorrect?

70% Answer Correctly

you can subtract monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent

you can multiply monomials that have different variables and different exponents

you can add monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent

all of these statements are correct


Solution

You can only add or subtract monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent. For example, 2a + 4a = 6a and 4a2 - a2 = 3a2 but 2a + 4b and 7a - 3b cannot be combined. However, you can multiply and divide monomials with unlike terms. For example, 2a x 6b = 12ab.


4

The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, 0) and (2, -8). What is the slope of this line?

46% Answer Correctly
2\(\frac{1}{2}\)
-2\(\frac{1}{2}\)
-3
-2

Solution

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, 0) and (2, -8) so the slope becomes:

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(-8.0) - (0.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{-8}{4} \)
m = -2


5

If the length of AB equals the length of BD, point B __________ this line segment.

45% Answer Correctly

midpoints

intersects

trisects

bisects


Solution

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.
