1

A right angle measures:

91% Answer Correctly

90°

45°

180°

360°


Solution

A right angle measures 90 degrees and is the intersection of two perpendicular lines. In diagrams, a right angle is indicated by a small box completing a square with the perpendicular lines.


2

To multiply binomials, use the FOIL method. Which of the following is not a part of the FOIL method?

84% Answer Correctly

Inside

Last

First

Odd


Solution

To multiply binomials, use the FOIL method. FOIL stands for First, Outside, Inside, Last and refers to the position of each term in the parentheses.


3

When two lines intersect, adjacent angles are __________ (they add up to 180°) and angles across from either other are __________ (they're equal).

61% Answer Correctly

vertical, supplementary

supplementary, vertical

obtuse, acute

acute, obtuse


Solution

Angles around a line add up to 180°. Angles around a point add up to 360°. When two lines intersect, adjacent angles are supplementary (they add up to 180°) and angles across from either other are vertical (they're equal).


4

The formula for the area of a circle is which of the following?

24% Answer Correctly

c = π d2

c = π r2

c = π d

c = π r


Solution

The circumference of a circle is the distance around its perimeter and equals π (approx. 3.14159) x diameter: c = π d. The area of a circle is π x (radius)2 : a = π r2.


5

Factor y2 - 3y - 10

54% Answer Correctly
(y + 5)(y - 2)
(y + 5)(y + 2)
(y - 5)(y - 2)
(y - 5)(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 -10 as well and sum (Inside, Outside) to equal -3. For this problem, those two numbers are -5 and 2. Then, plug these into a set of binomials using the square root of the First variable (y2):

y2 - 3y - 10
y2 + (-5 + 2)y + (-5 x 2)
(y - 5)(y + 2)
