If BD = 11 and AD = 16, AB = ?

75% Answer Correctly
5
20
10
13

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 = 16 - 11
AB = 5


2

The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, 1) and (2, 3). What is the slope-intercept equation for this line?

41% Answer Correctly
y = \(\frac{1}{2}\)x + 2
y = 3x + 3
y = -2\(\frac{1}{2}\)x - 3
y = 2x - 4

Solution

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 2. 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, 1) and (2, 3) so the slope becomes:

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(3.0) - (1.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{2}{4} \)
m = \(\frac{1}{2}\)

Plugging these values into the slope-intercept equation:

y = \(\frac{1}{2}\)x + 2


3

If angle a = 59° and angle b = 53° what is the length of angle d?

56% Answer Correctly
121°
140°
110°
141°

Solution

An exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the two interior angles that are opposite:

d° = b° + c°

To find angle c, remember that the sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°:

180° = a° + b° + c°
c° = 180° - a° - b°
c° = 180° - 59° - 53° = 68°

So, d° = 53° + 68° = 121°

A shortcut to get this answer is to remember that angles around a line add up to 180°:

a° + d° = 180°
d° = 180° - a°
d° = 180° - 59° = 121°


4

On this circle, line segment CD is the:

46% Answer Correctly

circumference

chord

diameter

radius


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).

Simplify 3a x 5b.

85% Answer Correctly
8ab
15a2b2
15ab
15\( \frac{b}{a} \)

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.

3a x 5b = (3 x 5) (a x b) = 15ab
