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

78% Answer Correctly

a = π d2

a = π r

a = π r2

a = π d


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.


2

If a = c = 7, b = d = 8, and the blue angle = 59°, what is the area of this parallelogram?

66% Answer Correctly
30
12
72
56

Solution

The area of a parallelogram is equal to its length x width:

a = l x w
a = a x b
a = 7 x 8
a = 56


3

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

46% Answer Correctly

bisects

midpoints

intersects

trisects


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.


4

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

41% Answer Correctly
y = 2x + 3
y = 2x + 2
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, 5) and (2, 1) so the slope becomes:

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

Plugging these values into the slope-intercept equation:

y = -x + 3


5

Which of the following statements about parallel lines with a transversal is not correct?

36% Answer Correctly

all acute angles equal each other

same-side interior angles are complementary and equal each other

angles in the same position on different parallel lines are called corresponding angles

all of the angles formed by a transversal are called interior angles


Solution

Parallel lines are lines that share the same slope (steepness) and therefore never intersect. A transversal occurs when a set of parallel lines are crossed by another line. All of the angles formed by a transversal are called interior angles and angles in the same position on different parallel lines equal each other (a° = w°, b° = x°, c° = z°, d° = y°) and are called corresponding angles. Alternate interior angles are equal (a° = z°, b° = y°, c° = w°, d° = x°) and 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°).
