1

Order the following types of angle from least number of degrees to most number of degrees.

75% Answer Correctly

acute, right, obtuse

right, acute, obtuse

acute, obtuse, right

right, obtuse, acute


Solution

An acute angle measures less than 90°, a right angle measures 90°, and an obtuse angle measures more than 90°.


2

Find the value of c:
5c + x = 4
-9c - 8x = -3

42% Answer Correctly
1\(\frac{17}{48}\)
-\(\frac{5}{53}\)
\(\frac{29}{31}\)
-5\(\frac{1}{2}\)

Solution

You need to find the value of c so solve the first equation in terms of x:

5c + x = 4
x = 4 - 5c

then substitute the result (4 - 5c) into the second equation:

-9c - 8(4 - 5c) = -3
-9c + (-8 x 4) + (-8 x -5c) = -3
-9c - 32 + 40c = -3
-9c + 40c = -3 + 32
31c = 29
c = \( \frac{29}{31} \)
c = \(\frac{29}{31}\)


3

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

53% Answer Correctly

π r2h

2(π r2) + 2π rh

π r2h2

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.


4

The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, -6) and (2, -2). What is the slope-intercept equation for this line?

41% Answer Correctly
y = -2\(\frac{1}{2}\)x + 4
y = x - 4
y = x + 0
y = x + 4

Solution

The slope-intercept equation for a line is y = mx + b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept of the line. From the graph, you can see that the y-intercept (the y-value from the point where the line crosses the y-axis) is -4. 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, -6) and (2, -2) so the slope becomes:

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(-2.0) - (-6.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{4}{4} \)
m = 1

Plugging these values into the slope-intercept equation:

y = x - 4


5

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

77% Answer Correctly

a = π r2

a = π d

a = π r

a = π d2


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.
