This diagram represents two parallel lines with a transversal. If a° = 30, what is the value of x°?

73% Answer Correctly
167
21
155
150

Solution

For parallel lines with a transversal, the following relationships apply:

  • angles in the same position on different parallel lines equal each other (a° = w°, b° = x°, c° = z°, d° = y°)
  • alternate interior angles are equal (a° = z°, b° = y°, c° = w°, d° = x°)
  • 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°)

Applying these relationships starting with a° = 30, the value of x° is 150.

Which of the following is not required to define the slope-intercept equation for a line?

42% Answer Correctly

slope

y-intercept

\({\Delta y \over \Delta x}\)

x-intercept


Solution

A line on the coordinate grid can be defined by a slope-intercept equation: y = mx + b. For a given value of x, the value of y can be determined given the slope (m) and y-intercept (b) of the line. The slope of a line is change in y over change in x, \({\Delta y \over \Delta x}\), and the y-intercept is the y-coordinate where the line crosses the vertical y-axis.


3

If side x = 6cm, side y = 11cm, and side z = 8cm what is the perimeter of this triangle?

84% Answer Correctly
35cm
40cm
26cm
25cm

Solution

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

p = x + y + z
p = 6cm + 11cm + 8cm = 25cm


4

The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, -2) and (2, -4). What is the slope-intercept equation for this line?

41% Answer Correctly
y = 2x - 4
y = -2\(\frac{1}{2}\)x - 3
y = -\(\frac{1}{2}\)x - 3
y = -\(\frac{1}{2}\)x + 3

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, -2) and (2, -4) so the slope becomes:

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(-4.0) - (-2.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{-2}{4} \)
m = -\(\frac{1}{2}\)

Plugging these values into the slope-intercept equation:

y = -\(\frac{1}{2}\)x - 3


5

The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 7 and radius (r) = 9. What is the surface area?

48% Answer Correctly
288π
100π
234π
144π

Solution

The surface area of a cylinder is 2πr2 + 2πrh:

sa = 2πr2 + 2πrh
sa = 2π(92) + 2π(9 x 7)
sa = 2π(81) + 2π(63)
sa = (2 x 81)π + (2 x 63)π
sa = 162π + 126π
sa = 288π
