Two chords intersect inside a circle. One chord is divided into segments of 4 and 6, and the other into segments of 3 and x. What is x?
Answer: 8
By the intersecting chords theorem, 4 × 6 = 3 × x, so x = 24 ÷ 3 = 8.
A cone has a radius of 3 and a height of 4. What is its volume? (Use π ≈ 3.14)
Answer: 37.68
Volume = (1/3)πr²h = (1/3)(3.14)(9)(4) = 37.68.
What is the slope of a line perpendicular to a line with slope 4?
Answer: −1/4
Perpendicular slopes are negative reciprocals, so the slope is −1/4.
In a 30-60-90 triangle, the side opposite the 30° angle is 5. What is the length of the hypotenuse?
Answer: 10
In a 30-60-90 triangle, the hypotenuse is twice the shortest side, so 2 × 5 = 10.
A tangent line touches a circle at exactly one point. What angle does it form with the radius drawn to that point?
Answer: 90°
A tangent is always perpendicular to the radius at the point of tangency.
A figure is dilated by a scale factor of 1/2. The image is best described as which of the following?
Answer: Smaller and similar
A scale factor between 0 and 1 shrinks the figure while keeping it similar.
The surface area of a cube is 96 square units. What is the length of one edge?
Answer: 4
Surface area = 6s², so 6s² = 96, s² = 16, s = 4.
