1

On this circle, line segment CD is the:

46% Answer Correctly

circumference

chord

radius

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

If AD = 25 and BD = 15, AB = ?

75% Answer Correctly
2
3
10
11

Solution

The entire length of this line is represented by AD which is AB + BD:

AD = AB + BD

Solving for AB:

AB = AD - BD
AB = 25 - 15
AB = 10


3

If a = 6, b = 7, c = 3, and d = 5, what is the perimeter of this quadrilateral?

88% Answer Correctly
16
18
26
21

Solution

Perimeter is equal to the sum of the four sides:

p = a + b + c + d
p = 6 + 7 + 3 + 5
p = 21


4

If the area of this square is 4, what is the length of one of the diagonals?

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

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 = \( \sqrt{a} \) = \( \sqrt{4} \) = 2

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 = 22 + 22
c2 = 8
c = \( \sqrt{8} \) = \( \sqrt{4 x 2} \) = \( \sqrt{4} \) \( \sqrt{2} \)
c = 2\( \sqrt{2} \)


5

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

36% Answer Correctly

all acute angles equal each other

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

same-side interior angles are complementary and equal each other

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°).
