This diagram represents two parallel lines with a transversal. If a° = 33, what is the value of d°?

73% Answer Correctly
147
146
30
156

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° = 33, the value of d° is 147.

If c = -7 and z = 4, what is the value of -9c(c - z)?

69% Answer Correctly
12
135
-693
16

Solution

To solve this equation, 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.)

-9c(c - z)
-9(-7)(-7 - 4)
-9(-7)(-11)
(63)(-11)
-693

The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, -3) and (2, -1). What is the slope-intercept equation for this line?

41% Answer Correctly
y = -2x - 1
y = 2x + 4
y = -\(\frac{1}{2}\)x + 0
y = \(\frac{1}{2}\)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 -2. 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, -3) and (2, -1) so the slope becomes:

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(-1.0) - (-3.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{2}{4} \)
m = \(\frac{1}{2}\)

Plugging these values into the slope-intercept equation:

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


4

If angle a = 30° and angle b = 36° what is the length of angle c?

71% Answer Correctly
114°
63°
91°
92°

Solution

The sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°:
180° = a° + b° + c°
c° = 180° - a° - b°
c° = 180° - 30° - 36° = 114°


5

The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 7 and radius (r) = 5. What is the volume?

63% Answer Correctly
175π
112π
343π
18π

Solution

The volume of a cylinder is πr2h:

v = πr2h
v = π(52 x 7)
v = 175π
