On this circle, line segment AB is the:

70% Answer Correctly

circumference

chord

radius

diameter


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).


2

A(n) __________ is to a parallelogram as a square is to a rectangle.

51% Answer Correctly

triangle

rhombus

trapezoid

quadrilateral


Solution

A rhombus is a parallelogram with four equal-length sides. A square is a rectangle with four equal-length sides.


3

Which of the following is not required to define the slope-intercept equation for a line?

42% Answer Correctly

x-intercept

slope

\({\Delta y \over \Delta x}\)

y-intercept


Solution

A line on the coordinate grid can be defined by a slope-intercept equation: y = mx + b. For a given value of x, the value of y can be determined given the slope (m) and y-intercept (b) of the line. The slope of a line is change in y over change in x, \({\Delta y \over \Delta x}\), and the y-intercept is the y-coordinate where the line crosses the vertical y-axis.

Solve for c:
-3c + 7 > 1 + 3c

55% Answer Correctly
c > -\(\frac{2}{3}\)
c > 1
c > -\(\frac{7}{8}\)
c > -\(\frac{2}{9}\)

Solution

To solve this equation, repeatedly do the same thing to both sides of the equation until the variable is isolated on one side of the > sign and the answer on the other.

-3c + 7 > 1 + 3c
-3c > 1 + 3c - 7
-3c - 3c > 1 - 7
-6c > -6
c > \( \frac{-6}{-6} \)
c > 1


5

If angle a = 43° and angle b = 69° what is the length of angle d?

56% Answer Correctly
157°
137°
124°
130°

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° - 43° - 69° = 68°

So, d° = 69° + 68° = 137°

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° - 43° = 137°
