1

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

46% Answer Correctly

circumference

chord

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).

If side x = 15cm, side y = 15cm, and side z = 13cm what is the perimeter of this triangle?

85% Answer Correctly
28cm
42cm
43cm
27cm

Solution

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

p = x + y + z
p = 15cm + 15cm + 13cm = 43cm


3

Simplify (y - 3)(y - 6)

64% Answer Correctly
y2 - 9y + 18
y2 + 3y - 18
y2 - 3y - 18
y2 + 9y + 18

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 - 3)(y - 6)
(y x y) + (y x -6) + (-3 x y) + (-3 x -6)
y2 - 6y - 3y + 18
y2 - 9y + 18


4

A trapezoid is a quadrilateral with one set of __________ sides.

71% Answer Correctly

equal angle

right angle

parallel

equal length


Solution

A trapezoid is a quadrilateral with one set of parallel sides.


5

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

78% Answer Correctly

a = π r2

a = π d

a = π d2

a = π r


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.
