Find the value of c:
-3c + y = 7
-c + 2y = 2

42% Answer Correctly
1\(\frac{3}{7}\)
-20
-2\(\frac{2}{5}\)

Solution

You need to find the value of c so solve the first equation in terms of y:

-3c + y = 7
y = 7 + 3c

then substitute the result (7 - -3c) into the second equation:

-c + 2(7 + 3c) = 2
-c + (2 x 7) + (2 x 3c) = 2
-c + 14 + 6c = 2
-c + 6c = 2 - 14
5c = -12
c = \( \frac{-12}{5} \)
c = -2\(\frac{2}{5}\)

The formula for the area of a circle is which of the following?

77% Answer Correctly

a = π r

a = π r2

a = π d

a = π d2


Solution

The circumference of a circle is the distance around its perimeter and equals π (approx. 3.14159) x diameter: c = π d. The area of a circle is π x (radius)2 : a = π r2.


3

Which of the following statements about a triangle is not true?

58% Answer Correctly

area = ½bh

sum of interior angles = 180°

perimeter = sum of side lengths

exterior angle = sum of two adjacent interior angles


Solution

A triangle is a three-sided polygon. It has three interior angles that add up to 180° (a + b + c = 180°). An exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the two interior angles that are opposite (d = b + c). The perimeter of a triangle is equal to the sum of the lengths of its three sides, the height of a triangle is equal to the length from the base to the opposite vertex (angle) and the area equals one-half triangle base x height: a = ½ base x height.


4

A coordinate grid is composed of which of the following?

91% Answer Correctly

all of these

y-axis

origin

x-axis


Solution

The coordinate grid is composed of a horizontal x-axis and a vertical y-axis. The center of the grid, where the x-axis and y-axis meet, is called the origin.


5

On this circle, a line segment connecting point A to point D is called:

46% Answer Correctly

chord

circumference

diameter

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).
