Two parallel lines are cut by a transversal. Same-side interior angles measure (6x5)°(6x-5)° and (4x+15)°(4x+15)°. What is the value of xx?

Same-side interior angles are supplementary: (6x5)+(4x+15)=180(6x-5)+(4x+15)=180, so 10x+10=18010x+10=180 and x=17x=17.

The graph of the equation (x4)2+(y+5)2=36(x - 4)^2 + (y + 5)^2 = 36 is a circle in the coordinate plane. The point (a,b)(a, b) lies on the circle. Which of the following is a possible value for a?a\textsf{?}

The center is (4,5)(4, -5) and the radius is 6.6\textsf{.} A point on the circle must satisfy 46a4+6,4 - 6 \le a \le 4 + 6\textsf{,} so 2a10.-2 \le a \le 10\textsf{.} The value 33 is in this interval.

Find the midpoint of (2,8)(2, 8) and (6,4)(6, 4). What is the yy-coordinate?

yy-coordinate =8+42=122=6= \dfrac{8 + 4}{2} = \dfrac{12}{2} = 6.

The equation of a line is y=x+7y = -x + 7. Which equation represents the line that is parallel to this line and passes through the point (4,2)(4, -2)?

Parallel lines have the same slope, so m=1m = -1. Substitute (4,2)(4, -2) into y=x+by = -x + b: 2=4+b-2 = -4 + b, so b=2b = 2. The equation is y=x+2.y = -x + 2\textsf{.}

Line mm is defined by y=34x+8y = \dfrac{3}{4}x + 8. Line nn is parallel to line mm in the coordinate plane. What is the slope of line nn?

Parallel lines have the same slope. In y=34x+8y = \dfrac{3}{4}x + 8, the slope is 34\dfrac{3}{4}, so the slope of line nn is also 34.\dfrac{3}{4}\textsf{.}

Find the volume of a sphere with radius 33. Use π=3\pi = 3.

V=43πr3=43×3×27=108V = \dfrac{4}{3} \pi r^{3} = \dfrac{4}{3} \times 3 \times 27 = 108.

A grain silo is shaped like a right circular cylinder with a radius of 44 feet and a height of 1010 feet. What is the volume of the silo, in cubic feet?

V=πr2h=π(4)2(10)=160πV = \pi r^{2} h = \pi (4)^{2}(10) = 160\pi cubic feet.

In ABC\triangle ABC, the exterior angle at vertex CC measures 130130^{\circ}. If mA=48m\angle A = 48^{\circ}, what is mBm\angle B?

An exterior angle equals the sum of the two remote interior angles: mA+mB=130m\angle A + m\angle B = 130^{\circ}. So mB=13048=82m\angle B = 130^{\circ} - 48^{\circ} = 82^{\circ}.
