1

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

60% Answer Correctly

vertical, supplementary

acute, obtuse

supplementary, vertical

obtuse, acute


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).


2

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

88% Answer Correctly

addition

division

exponents

pairs


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.)


3

What is the area of a circle with a radius of 5?

69% Answer Correctly
36π
25π

Solution

The formula for area is πr2:

a = πr2
a = π(52)
a = 25π


4

Solve -7a - a = -a + 5z - 3 for a in terms of z.

34% Answer Correctly
-5z - 4\(\frac{1}{2}\)
-\(\frac{1}{9}\)z + \(\frac{5}{9}\)
\(\frac{4}{7}\)z + 1
-z + \(\frac{1}{2}\)

Solution

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

-7a - z = -a + 5z - 3
-7a = -a + 5z - 3 + z
-7a + a = 5z - 3 + z
-6a = 6z - 3
a = \( \frac{6z - 3}{-6} \)
a = \( \frac{6z}{-6} \) + \( \frac{-3}{-6} \)
a = -z + \(\frac{1}{2}\)


5

Breaking apart a quadratic expression into a pair of binomials is called:

74% Answer Correctly

squaring

factoring

deconstructing

normalizing


Solution

To factor a quadratic expression, apply the FOIL (First, Outside, Inside, Last) method in reverse.
