Which of the following statements about a triangle is not true?
area = ½bh |
|
perimeter = sum of side lengths |
|
sum of interior angles = 180° |
|
exterior angle = sum of two adjacent interior angles |
A triangle is a three-sided polygon. It has three interior angles that add up to 180° (a + b + c = 180°). An exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the two interior angles that are opposite (d = b + c). The perimeter of a triangle is equal to the sum of the lengths of its three sides, the height of a triangle is equal to the length from the base to the opposite vertex (angle) and the area equals one-half triangle base x height: a = ½ base x height.
Breaking apart a quadratic expression into a pair of binomials is called:
squaring |
|
normalizing |
|
factoring |
|
deconstructing |
To factor a quadratic expression, apply the FOIL (First, Outside, Inside, Last) method in reverse.
The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, 7) and (2, -5). What is the slope-intercept equation for this line?
| y = -3x + 1 | |
| y = 3x + 3 | |
| y = -2x + 2 | |
| y = 2\(\frac{1}{2}\)x + 0 |
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 1. 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, 7) and (2, -5) so the slope becomes:
m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(-5.0) - (7.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{-12}{4} \)Plugging these values into the slope-intercept equation:
y = -3x + 1
Which of the following is not a part of PEMDAS, the acronym for math order of operations?
pairs |
|
exponents |
|
addition |
|
division |
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.)
On this circle, a line segment connecting point A to point D is called:
diameter |
|
circumference |
|
chord |
|
radius |
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).
