On this circle, line segment CD is the:

46% 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

The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, -1) and (2, -5). What is the slope of this line?

46% Answer Correctly
-2
-1
1\(\frac{1}{2}\)
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, -1) and (2, -5) so the slope becomes:

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(-5.0) - (-1.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{-4}{4} \)
m = -1


3

If side x = 15cm, side y = 13cm, and side z = 8cm what is the perimeter of this triangle?

84% Answer Correctly
36cm
31cm
34cm
38cm

Solution

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

p = x + y + z
p = 15cm + 13cm + 8cm = 36cm


4

Simplify (y - 2)(y - 1)

63% Answer Correctly
y2 - y - 2
y2 + 3y + 2
y2 + y - 2
y2 - 3y + 2

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 - 2)(y - 1)
(y x y) + (y x -1) + (-2 x y) + (-2 x -1)
y2 - y - 2y + 2
y2 - 3y + 2


5

A cylinder with a radius (r) and a height (h) has a surface area of:

53% Answer Correctly

2(π r2) + 2π rh

π r2h2

π r2h

4π r2


Solution

A cylinder is a solid figure with straight parallel sides and a circular or oval cross section with a radius (r) and a height (h). The volume of a cylinder is π r2h and the surface area is 2(π r2) + 2π rh.
