This diagram represents two parallel lines with a transversal. If d° = 160, what is the value of y°?

73% Answer Correctly
155
40
167
160

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 d° = 160, the value of y° is 160.

Simplify 4a x 2b.

85% Answer Correctly
8ab
8a2b2
8\( \frac{b}{a} \)
8\( \frac{a}{b} \)

Solution

To multiply monomials, multiply the coefficients (the numbers that come before the variables) of each term, add the exponents of like variables, and multiply the different variables together.

4a x 2b = (4 x 2) (a x b) = 8ab

If the area of this square is 25, what is the length of one of the diagonals?

68% Answer Correctly
5\( \sqrt{2} \)
7\( \sqrt{2} \)
6\( \sqrt{2} \)
9\( \sqrt{2} \)

Solution

To find the diagonal we need to know the length of one of the square's sides. We know the area and the area of a square is the length of one side squared:

a = s2

so the length of one side of the square is:

s = \( \sqrt{a} \) = \( \sqrt{25} \) = 5

The Pythagorean theorem defines the square of the hypotenuse (diagonal) of a triangle with a right angle as the sum of the squares of the other two sides:

c2 = a2 + b2
c2 = 52 + 52
c2 = 50
c = \( \sqrt{50} \) = \( \sqrt{25 x 2} \) = \( \sqrt{25} \) \( \sqrt{2} \)
c = 5\( \sqrt{2} \)

On this circle, line segment CD is the:

46% Answer Correctly

diameter

circumference

radius

chord


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).

Solve -8c - 8c = 3c + 3z - 8 for c in terms of z.

34% Answer Correctly
-z + \(\frac{8}{11}\)
-z - 3
1\(\frac{2}{5}\)z - \(\frac{3}{5}\)
-1\(\frac{1}{3}\)z - 2\(\frac{1}{3}\)

Solution

To solve this equation, isolate the variable for which you are solving (c) on one side of the equation and put everything else on the other side.

-8c - 8z = 3c + 3z - 8
-8c = 3c + 3z - 8 + 8z
-8c - 3c = 3z - 8 + 8z
-11c = 11z - 8
c = \( \frac{11z - 8}{-11} \)
c = \( \frac{11z}{-11} \) + \( \frac{-8}{-11} \)
c = -z + \(\frac{8}{11}\)
