What is the circumference of a circle with a diameter of 14?

71% Answer Correctly
14π
38π

Solution

The formula for circumference is circle diameter x π:

c = πd
c = 14π


2

If AD = 12 and BD = 4, AB = ?

76% Answer Correctly
8
9
12
1

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 = 12 - 4
AB = 8


3

If side x = 7cm, side y = 5cm, and side z = 6cm what is the perimeter of this triangle?

84% Answer Correctly
18cm
32cm
28cm
26cm

Solution

The perimeter of a triangle is the sum of the lengths of its sides:

p = x + y + z
p = 7cm + 5cm + 6cm = 18cm


4

Factor y2 + 7y + 12

54% Answer Correctly
(y + 3)(y - 4)
(y - 3)(y - 4)
(y - 3)(y + 4)
(y + 3)(y + 4)

Solution

To factor a quadratic expression, apply the FOIL method (First, Outside, Inside, Last) in reverse. First, find the two Last terms that will multiply to produce 12 as well and sum (Inside, Outside) to equal 7. For this problem, those two numbers are 3 and 4. Then, plug these into a set of binomials using the square root of the First variable (y2):

y2 + 7y + 12
y2 + (3 + 4)y + (3 x 4)
(y + 3)(y + 4)


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

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

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