What is the circumference of a circle with a diameter of 10?

71% Answer Correctly
10π

Solution

The formula for circumference is circle diameter x π:

c = πd
c = 10π


2

Simplify (y - 9)(y + 7)

64% Answer Correctly
y2 + 16y + 63
y2 + 2y - 63
y2 - 16y + 63
y2 - 2y - 63

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 + 7)
(y x y) + (y x 7) + (-9 x y) + (-9 x 7)
y2 + 7y - 9y - 63
y2 - 2y - 63


3

If side a = 2, side b = 8, what is the length of the hypotenuse of this right triangle?

64% Answer Correctly
\( \sqrt{32} \)
\( \sqrt{50} \)
\( \sqrt{52} \)
\( \sqrt{68} \)

Solution

According to the Pythagorean theorem, the hypotenuse squared is equal to the sum of the two perpendicular sides squared:

c2 = a2 + b2
c2 = 22 + 82
c2 = 4 + 64
c2 = 68
c = \( \sqrt{68} \)


4

If the length of AB equals the length of BD, point B __________ this line segment.

46% Answer Correctly

bisects

midpoints

intersects

trisects


Solution

A line segment is a portion of a line with a measurable length. The midpoint of a line segment is the point exactly halfway between the endpoints. The midpoint bisects (cuts in half) the line segment.


5

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

46% Answer Correctly
-\(\frac{1}{2}\)
\(\frac{1}{2}\)
-1\(\frac{1}{2}\)
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, -4) and (2, -2) so the slope becomes:

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(-2.0) - (-4.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{2}{4} \)
m = \(\frac{1}{2}\)
