1

What is the area of a circle with a radius of 4?

70% Answer Correctly
25π
16π
36π

Solution

The formula for area is πr2:

a = πr2
a = π(42)
a = 16π


2

When two lines intersect, adjacent angles are __________ (they add up to 180°) and angles across from either other are __________ (they're equal).

61% Answer Correctly

vertical, supplementary

supplementary, vertical

acute, obtuse

obtuse, acute


Solution

Angles around a line add up to 180°. Angles around a point add up to 360°. When two lines intersect, adjacent angles are supplementary (they add up to 180°) and angles across from either other are vertical (they're equal).


3

Simplify (y + 9)(y - 1)

64% Answer Correctly
y2 + 10y + 9
y2 - 10y + 9
y2 - 8y - 9
y2 + 8y - 9

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 + 9)(y - 1)
(y x y) + (y x -1) + (9 x y) + (9 x -1)
y2 - y + 9y - 9
y2 + 8y - 9


4

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

70% Answer Correctly

equal angle

parallel

right angle

equal length


Solution

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


5

If angle a = 30° and angle b = 43° what is the length of angle d?

56% Answer Correctly
113°
150°
156°
126°

Solution

An exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the two interior angles that are opposite:

d° = b° + c°

To find angle c, remember that the sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°:

180° = a° + b° + c°
c° = 180° - a° - b°
c° = 180° - 30° - 43° = 107°

So, d° = 43° + 107° = 150°

A shortcut to get this answer is to remember that angles around a line add up to 180°:

a° + d° = 180°
d° = 180° - a°
d° = 180° - 30° = 150°
