On this circle, line segment AB is the:

70% Answer Correctly

circumference

radius

chord

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 a:
3a - 3 > -9 - 4a

54% Answer Correctly
a > -1\(\frac{4}{5}\)
a > 1
a > -\(\frac{6}{7}\)
a > -2\(\frac{1}{3}\)

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.

3a - 3 > -9 - 4a
3a > -9 - 4a + 3
3a + 4a > -9 + 3
7a > -6
a > \( \frac{-6}{7} \)
a > -\(\frac{6}{7}\)


3

If side a = 5, side b = 3, what is the length of the hypotenuse of this right triangle?

63% Answer Correctly
\( \sqrt{26} \)
\( \sqrt{106} \)
\( \sqrt{29} \)
\( \sqrt{34} \)

Solution

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

c2 = a2 + b2
c2 = 52 + 32
c2 = 25 + 9
c2 = 34
c = \( \sqrt{34} \)


4

If the base of this triangle is 8 and the height is 2, what is the area?

58% Answer Correctly
49
17\(\frac{1}{2}\)
32
8

Solution

The area of a triangle is equal to ½ base x height:

a = ½bh
a = ½ x 8 x 2 = \( \frac{16}{2} \) = 8


5

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

70% Answer Correctly
6π
36π
12π
24π

Solution

The formula for circumference is circle diameter x π:

c = πd
c = 6π
