1

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).


2

The dimensions of this trapezoid are a = 4, b = 5, c = 5, d = 8, and h = 3. What is the area?

50% Answer Correctly
26
22
19\(\frac{1}{2}\)
30

Solution

The area of a trapezoid is one-half the sum of the lengths of the parallel sides multiplied by the height:

a = ½(b + d)(h)
a = ½(5 + 8)(3)
a = ½(13)(3)
a = ½(39) = \( \frac{39}{2} \)
a = 19\(\frac{1}{2}\)


3

What is the area of a circle with a radius of 3?

69% Answer Correctly
6π
9π
25π
7π

Solution

The formula for area is πr2:

a = πr2
a = π(32)
a = 9π


4

The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 5 and radius (r) = 6. What is the volume?

62% Answer Correctly
180π
196π
448π
392π

Solution

The volume of a cylinder is πr2h:

v = πr2h
v = π(62 x 5)
v = 180π


5

Solve for x:
x2 + 10x + 46 = -4x + 1

48% Answer Correctly
-5 or -9
9 or -4
2 or -6
3 or 3

Solution

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:

x2 + 10x + 46 = -4x + 1
x2 + 10x + 46 - 1 = -4x
x2 + 10x + 4x + 45 = 0
x2 + 14x + 45 = 0

Next, factor the quadratic equation:

x2 + 14x + 45 = 0
(x + 5)(x + 9) = 0

For this expression to be true, the left side of the expression must equal zero. Therefore, either (x + 5) or (x + 9) must equal zero:

If (x + 5) = 0, x must equal -5
If (x + 9) = 0, x must equal -9

So the solution is that x = -5 or -9
