On this circle, line segment AB is the:

70% Answer Correctly

circumference

diameter

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 for y:
y2 - 10y + 9 = 0

57% Answer Correctly
1 or 9
3 or -6
-2 or -3
1 or -7

Solution

The first step to solve a quadratic equation that's set to zero is to factor the quadratic equation:

y2 - 10y + 9 = 0
(y - 1)(y - 9) = 0

For this expression to be true, the left side of the expression must equal zero. Therefore, either (y - 1) or (y - 9) must equal zero:

If (y - 1) = 0, y must equal 1
If (y - 9) = 0, y must equal 9

So the solution is that y = 1 or 9


3

If side a = 6, side b = 4, what is the length of the hypotenuse of this right triangle?

63% Answer Correctly
\( \sqrt{52} \)
\( \sqrt{73} \)
\( \sqrt{80} \)
\( \sqrt{98} \)

Solution

According to the Pythagorean theorem, the hypotenuse squared is equal to the sum of the two perpendicular sides squared:

c2 = a2 + b2
c2 = 62 + 42
c2 = 36 + 16
c2 = 52
c = \( \sqrt{52} \)


4

The dimensions of this trapezoid are a = 5, b = 2, c = 6, d = 5, and h = 3. What is the area?

50% Answer Correctly
9
18
10\(\frac{1}{2}\)
16

Solution

The area of a trapezoid is one-half the sum of the lengths of the parallel sides multiplied by the height:

a = ½(b + d)(h)
a = ½(2 + 5)(3)
a = ½(7)(3)
a = ½(21) = \( \frac{21}{2} \)
a = 10\(\frac{1}{2}\)


5

What is the circumference of a circle with a diameter of 4?

70% Answer Correctly
38π
32π
4π
10π

Solution

The formula for circumference is circle diameter x π:

c = πd
c = 4π
