This diagram represents two parallel lines with a transversal. If w° = 13, what is the value of d°?

73% Answer Correctly
15
163
167
160

Solution

For parallel lines with a transversal, the following relationships apply:

  • angles in the same position on different parallel lines equal each other (a° = w°, b° = x°, c° = z°, d° = y°)
  • alternate interior angles are equal (a° = z°, b° = y°, c° = w°, d° = x°)
  • all acute angles (a° = c° = w° = z°) and all obtuse angles (b° = d° = x° = y°) equal each other
  • same-side interior angles are supplementary and add up to 180° (e.g. a° + d° = 180°, d° + c° = 180°)

Applying these relationships starting with w° = 13, the value of d° is 167.

A cylinder with a radius (r) and a height (h) has a surface area of:

54% Answer Correctly

π r2h2

4π r2

2(π r2) + 2π rh

π r2h


Solution

A cylinder is a solid figure with straight parallel sides and a circular or oval cross section with a radius (r) and a height (h). The volume of a cylinder is π r2h and the surface area is 2(π r2) + 2π rh.


3

Which of the following statements about parallel lines with a transversal is not correct?

36% Answer Correctly

all acute angles equal each other

angles in the same position on different parallel lines are called corresponding angles

all of the angles formed by a transversal are called interior angles

same-side interior angles are complementary and equal each other


Solution

Parallel lines are lines that share the same slope (steepness) and therefore never intersect. A transversal occurs when a set of parallel lines are crossed by another line. All of the angles formed by a transversal are called interior angles and angles in the same position on different parallel lines equal each other (a° = w°, b° = x°, c° = z°, d° = y°) and are called corresponding angles. Alternate interior angles are equal (a° = z°, b° = y°, c° = w°, d° = x°) and all acute angles (a° = c° = w° = z°) and all obtuse angles (b° = d° = x° = y°) equal each other. Same-side interior angles are supplementary and add up to 180° (e.g. a° + d° = 180°, d° + c° = 180°).


4

If the length of AB equals the length of BD, point B __________ this line segment.

46% Answer Correctly

midpoints

intersects

bisects

trisects


Solution

A line segment is a portion of a line with a measurable length. The midpoint of a line segment is the point exactly halfway between the endpoints. The midpoint bisects (cuts in half) the line segment.

Solve for c:
6c - 9 = \( \frac{c}{-1} \)

46% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{3}{4}\)
\(\frac{63}{64}\)
-1\(\frac{5}{13}\)
1\(\frac{2}{7}\)

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 equal sign and the answer on the other.

6c - 9 = \( \frac{c}{-1} \)
-1 x (6c - 9) = c
(-1 x 6c) + (-1 x -9) = c
-6c + 9 = c
-6c + 9 - c = 0
-6c - c = -9
-7c = -9
c = \( \frac{-9}{-7} \)
c = 1\(\frac{2}{7}\)
