This diagram represents two parallel lines with a transversal. If d° = 143, what is the value of y°?

73% Answer Correctly
143
169
38
34

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 d° = 143, the value of y° is 143.

Simplify (y + 8)(y + 4)

63% Answer Correctly
y2 - 12y + 32
y2 + 4y - 32
y2 - 4y - 32
y2 + 12y + 32

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:

(y + 8)(y + 4)
(y x y) + (y x 4) + (8 x y) + (8 x 4)
y2 + 4y + 8y + 32
y2 + 12y + 32

On this circle, line segment CD is the:

46% Answer Correctly

chord

diameter

circumference

radius


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).

The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, 3) and (2, 1). What is the slope of this line?

46% Answer Correctly
1\(\frac{1}{2}\)
-3
-2\(\frac{1}{2}\)
-\(\frac{1}{2}\)

Solution

The slope of this line is the change in y divided by the change in x. The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, 3) and (2, 1) so the slope becomes:

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(1.0) - (3.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{-2}{4} \)
m = -\(\frac{1}{2}\)


5

The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 5 and radius (r) = 9. What is the volume?

62% Answer Correctly
180π
405π
45π
27π

Solution

The volume of a cylinder is πr2h:

v = πr2h
v = π(92 x 5)
v = 405π
