1

A right angle measures:

90% Answer Correctly

90°

180°

360°

45°


Solution

A right angle measures 90 degrees and is the intersection of two perpendicular lines. In diagrams, a right angle is indicated by a small box completing a square with the perpendicular lines.


2

The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, -4) and (2, 4). What is the slope-intercept equation for this line?

41% Answer Correctly
y = -1\(\frac{1}{2}\)x - 3
y = 2x + 2
y = 2x + 0
y = \(\frac{1}{2}\)x + 2

Solution

The slope-intercept equation for a line is y = mx + b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept of the line. From the graph, you can see that the y-intercept (the y-value from the point where the line crosses the y-axis) is 0. 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, -4) and (2, 4) so the slope becomes:

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(4.0) - (-4.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{8}{4} \)
m = 2

Plugging these values into the slope-intercept equation:

y = 2x + 0


3

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

69% Answer Correctly
49π
36π

Solution

The formula for area is πr2. Radius is circle \( \frac{diameter}{2} \):

r = \( \frac{d}{2} \)
r = \( \frac{6}{2} \)
r = 3
a = πr2
a = π(32)
a = 9π


4

If side x = 9cm, side y = 6cm, and side z = 12cm what is the perimeter of this triangle?

84% Answer Correctly
34cm
33cm
27cm
26cm

Solution

The perimeter of a triangle is the sum of the lengths of its sides:

p = x + y + z
p = 9cm + 6cm + 12cm = 27cm


5

Breaking apart a quadratic expression into a pair of binomials is called:

74% Answer Correctly

factoring

squaring

deconstructing

normalizing


Solution

To factor a quadratic expression, apply the FOIL (First, Outside, Inside, Last) method in reverse.
