This diagram represents two parallel lines with a transversal. If b° = 165, what is the value of y°?

73% Answer Correctly
165
169
17
39

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 b° = 165, the value of y° is 165.

What is the circumference of a circle with a diameter of 15?

70% Answer Correctly
1π
15π
14π
26π

Solution

The formula for circumference is circle diameter x π:

c = πd
c = 15π


3

If the area of this square is 9, what is the length of one of the diagonals?

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

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 = \( \sqrt{a} \) = \( \sqrt{9} \) = 3

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 = 32 + 32
c2 = 18
c = \( \sqrt{18} \) = \( \sqrt{9 x 2} \) = \( \sqrt{9} \) \( \sqrt{2} \)
c = 3\( \sqrt{2} \)


4

Which of the following statements about math operations is incorrect?

70% Answer Correctly

all of these statements are correct

you can subtract monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent

you can multiply monomials that have different variables and different exponents

you can add monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent


Solution

You can only add or subtract monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent. For example, 2a + 4a = 6a and 4a2 - a2 = 3a2 but 2a + 4b and 7a - 3b cannot be combined. However, you can multiply and divide monomials with unlike terms. For example, 2a x 6b = 12ab.


5

What is the area of a circle with a diameter of 6?

69% Answer Correctly
25π
36π
49π
9π

Solution

The formula for area is πr2. Radius is circle \( \frac{diameter}{2} \):

r = \( \frac{d}{2} \)
r = \( \frac{6}{2} \)
r = 3
a = πr2
a = π(32)
a = 9π
