1

On this circle, a line segment connecting point A to point D is called:

47% Answer Correctly

diameter

circumference

radius

chord


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 dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 2 and radius (r) = 6. What is the surface area?

48% Answer Correctly
216π
60π
96π
180π

Solution

The surface area of a cylinder is 2πr2 + 2πrh:

sa = 2πr2 + 2πrh
sa = 2π(62) + 2π(6 x 2)
sa = 2π(36) + 2π(12)
sa = (2 x 36)π + (2 x 12)π
sa = 72π + 24π
sa = 96π


3

Solve -3c - 6c = -9c + 5y - 1 for c in terms of y.

35% Answer Correctly
4y - 6
y - 1
-1\(\frac{1}{8}\)y + \(\frac{1}{8}\)
1\(\frac{5}{6}\)y - \(\frac{1}{6}\)

Solution

To solve this equation, isolate the variable for which you are solving (c) on one side of the equation and put everything else on the other side.

-3c - 6y = -9c + 5y - 1
-3c = -9c + 5y - 1 + 6y
-3c + 9c = 5y - 1 + 6y
6c = 11y - 1
c = \( \frac{11y - 1}{6} \)
c = \( \frac{11y}{6} \) + \( \frac{-1}{6} \)
c = 1\(\frac{5}{6}\)y - \(\frac{1}{6}\)


4

Which of the following statements about parallel lines with a transversal is not correct?

36% Answer Correctly

same-side interior angles are complementary and equal each other

all acute angles equal each other

angles in the same position on different parallel lines are called corresponding angles

all of the angles formed by a transversal are called interior angles


Solution

Parallel lines are lines that share the same slope (steepness) and therefore never intersect. A transversal occurs when a set of parallel lines are crossed by another line. All of the angles formed by a transversal are called interior angles and angles in the same position on different parallel lines equal each other (a° = w°, b° = x°, c° = z°, d° = y°) and are called corresponding angles. Alternate interior angles are equal (a° = z°, b° = y°, c° = w°, d° = x°) and all acute angles (a° = c° = w° = z°) and all obtuse angles (b° = d° = x° = y°) equal each other. Same-side interior angles are supplementary and add up to 180° (e.g. a° + d° = 180°, d° + c° = 180°).


5

If a = 3, b = 7, c = 5, and d = 6, what is the perimeter of this quadrilateral?

88% Answer Correctly
21
22
26
18

Solution

Perimeter is equal to the sum of the four sides:

p = a + b + c + d
p = 3 + 7 + 5 + 6
p = 21
