1

Which of the following is not a part of PEMDAS, the acronym for math order of operations?

88% Answer Correctly

pairs

addition

exponents

division


Solution

When solving an equation with two variables, 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.)


2

On this circle, line segment AB is the:

70% 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).

Solve for x:
-x + 3 < \( \frac{x}{-3} \)

44% Answer Correctly
x < 2\(\frac{7}{10}\)
x < 4\(\frac{1}{2}\)
x < \(\frac{64}{71}\)
x < -\(\frac{6}{19}\)

Solution

To solve this equation, repeatedly do the same thing to both sides of the equation until the variable is isolated on one side of the < sign and the answer on the other.

-x + 3 < \( \frac{x}{-3} \)
-3 x (-x + 3) < x
(-3 x -x) + (-3 x 3) < x
3x - 9 < x
3x - 9 - x < 0
3x - x < 9
2x < 9
x < \( \frac{9}{2} \)
x < 4\(\frac{1}{2}\)


4

If angle a = 35° and angle b = 42° what is the length of angle d?

56% Answer Correctly
145°
113°
123°
151°

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° - 35° - 42° = 103°

So, d° = 42° + 103° = 145°

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° - 35° = 145°


5

What is the circumference of a circle with a diameter of 2?

70% Answer Correctly
32π
11π
14π

Solution

The formula for circumference is circle diameter x π:

c = πd
c = 2π
