1

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

46% Answer Correctly

trisects

midpoints

intersects

bisects


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.


2

Which of the following statements about a parallelogram is not true?

50% Answer Correctly

the area of a parallelogram is base x height

opposite sides and adjacent angles are equal

the perimeter of a parallelogram is the sum of the lengths of all sides

a parallelogram is a quadrilateral


Solution

A parallelogram is a quadrilateral with two sets of parallel sides. Opposite sides (a = c, b = d) and angles (red = red, blue = blue) are equal. The area of a parallelogram is base x height and the perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all sides (a + b + c + d).


3

A cylinder with a radius (r) and a height (h) has a surface area of:

54% Answer Correctly

4π r2

2(π r2) + 2π rh

π r2h

π r2h2


Solution

A cylinder is a solid figure with straight parallel sides and a circular or oval cross section with a radius (r) and a height (h). The volume of a cylinder is π r2h and the surface area is 2(π r2) + 2π rh.


4

The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, 9) and (2, -1). What is the slope-intercept equation for this line?

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

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 4. 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, 9) and (2, -1) so the slope becomes:

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(-1.0) - (9.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{-10}{4} \)
m = -2\(\frac{1}{2}\)

Plugging these values into the slope-intercept equation:

y = -2\(\frac{1}{2}\)x + 4


5

Which of the following is not a part of PEMDAS, the acronym for math order of operations?

91% Answer Correctly

pairs

division

addition

exponents


Solution

When solving an equation with two variables, replace the variables with the values given and then solve the now variable-free equation. (Remember order of operations, PEMDAS, Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication/Division, Addition/Subtraction.)
