1

Order the following types of angle from least number of degrees to most number of degrees.

75% Answer Correctly

right, obtuse, acute

right, acute, obtuse

acute, obtuse, right

acute, right, obtuse


Solution

An acute angle measures less than 90°, a right angle measures 90°, and an obtuse angle measures more than 90°.


2

On this circle, line segment CD is the:

46% Answer Correctly

chord

circumference

radius

diameter


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).


3

If the area of this square is 1, what is the length of one of the diagonals?

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

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 = \( \sqrt{a} \) = \( \sqrt{1} \) = 1

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 = 12 + 12
c2 = 2
c = \( \sqrt{2} \)


4

Find the value of c:
3c + z = -5
8c + 6z = 3

42% Answer Correctly
-3\(\frac{3}{10}\)
2\(\frac{7}{13}\)
-\(\frac{7}{20}\)
1

Solution

You need to find the value of c so solve the first equation in terms of z:

3c + z = -5
z = -5 - 3c

then substitute the result (-5 - 3c) into the second equation:

8c + 6(-5 - 3c) = 3
8c + (6 x -5) + (6 x -3c) = 3
8c - 30 - 18c = 3
8c - 18c = 3 + 30
-10c = 33
c = \( \frac{33}{-10} \)
c = -3\(\frac{3}{10}\)


5

If a = 1 and x = 4, what is the value of 7a(a - x)?

68% Answer Correctly
81
-21
-384
0

Solution

To solve this equation, 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.)

7a(a - x)
7(1)(1 - 4)
7(1)(-3)
(7)(-3)
-21
