On this circle, line segment CD is the:

46% Answer Correctly

diameter

chord

radius

circumference


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).

If AD = 24 and BD = 23, AB = ?

76% Answer Correctly
14
11
19
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 = 24 - 23
AB = 1


3

If the base of this triangle is 1 and the height is 4, what is the area?

58% Answer Correctly
2
58\(\frac{1}{2}\)
17\(\frac{1}{2}\)
35

Solution

The area of a triangle is equal to ½ base x height:

a = ½bh
a = ½ x 1 x 4 = \( \frac{4}{2} \) = 2

Factor y2 - 10y + 16

54% Answer Correctly
(y + 8)(y - 2)
(y - 8)(y - 2)
(y + 8)(y + 2)
(y - 8)(y + 2)

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 16 as well and sum (Inside, Outside) to equal -10. For this problem, those two numbers are -8 and -2. Then, plug these into a set of binomials using the square root of the First variable (y2):

y2 - 10y + 16
y2 + (-8 - 2)y + (-8 x -2)
(y - 8)(y - 2)

This diagram represents two parallel lines with a transversal. If z° = 39, what is the value of c°?

73% Answer Correctly
10
160
39
157

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 z° = 39, the value of c° is 39.
