This diagram represents two parallel lines with a transversal. If b° = 166, what is the value of c°?

73% Answer Correctly
159
38
148
14

Solution

For parallel lines with a transversal, the following relationships apply:

  • angles in the same position on different parallel lines equal each other (a° = w°, b° = x°, c° = z°, d° = y°)
  • alternate interior angles are equal (a° = z°, b° = y°, c° = w°, d° = x°)
  • 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°)

Applying these relationships starting with b° = 166, the value of c° is 14.

If the base of this triangle is 8 and the height is 1, what is the area?

58% Answer Correctly
35
17\(\frac{1}{2}\)
66
4

Solution

The area of a triangle is equal to ½ base x height:

a = ½bh
a = ½ x 8 x 1 = \( \frac{8}{2} \) = 4


3

Which of the following statements about math operations is incorrect?

70% Answer Correctly

you can add monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent

all of these statements are correct

you can multiply monomials that have different variables and different exponents

you can subtract monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent


Solution

You can only add or subtract monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent. For example, 2a + 4a = 6a and 4a2 - a2 = 3a2 but 2a + 4b and 7a - 3b cannot be combined. However, you can multiply and divide monomials with unlike terms. For example, 2a x 6b = 12ab.


4

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

45% Answer Correctly

bisects

intersects

midpoints

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 dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 5 and radius (r) = 9. What is the volume?

62% Answer Correctly
441π
384π
81π
405π

Solution

The volume of a cylinder is πr2h:

v = πr2h
v = π(92 x 5)
v = 405π
