1

When two lines intersect, adjacent angles are __________ (they add up to 180°) and angles across from either other are __________ (they're equal).

61% Answer Correctly

vertical, supplementary

acute, obtuse

obtuse, acute

supplementary, vertical


Solution

Angles around a line add up to 180°. Angles around a point add up to 360°. When two lines intersect, adjacent angles are supplementary (they add up to 180°) and angles across from either other are vertical (they're equal).


2

To multiply binomials, use the FOIL method. Which of the following is not a part of the FOIL method?

84% Answer Correctly

First

Odd

Inside

Last


Solution

To multiply binomials, use the FOIL method. FOIL stands for First, Outside, Inside, Last and refers to the position of each term in the parentheses.


3

Which of the following is not required to define the slope-intercept equation for a line?

42% Answer Correctly

slope

x-intercept

\({\Delta y \over \Delta x}\)

y-intercept


Solution

A line on the coordinate grid can be defined by a slope-intercept equation: y = mx + b. For a given value of x, the value of y can be determined given the slope (m) and y-intercept (b) of the line. The slope of a line is change in y over change in x, \({\Delta y \over \Delta x}\), and the y-intercept is the y-coordinate where the line crosses the vertical y-axis.


4

On this circle, line segment AB is the:

72% Answer Correctly

diameter

chord

radius

circumference


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).


5

If c = 4 and x = 8, what is the value of -4c(c - x)?

69% Answer Correctly
-252
64
-30
1008

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.)

-4c(c - x)
-4(4)(4 - 8)
-4(4)(-4)
(-16)(-4)
