Which of the following are true?
- A.
Lines AE, BE, CE and DE are concurrent at point E.
- B.
Points A, E and D are collinear
- C.
Points A, E and D are non-coplanar
- D.
Lines AB, AE and CD are concurrent at point A.
- E.
None of the above are true.
Correct Answer
A. Lines AE, BE, CE and DE are concurrent at point E.Explanation
The correct answer is that lines AE, BE, CE, and DE are concurrent at point E. This means that all four lines intersect at the same point, E. This can be visualized as a point where all four lines meet. The other statements are not true. Points A, E, and D are collinear, meaning they lie on the same line. Points A, E, and D are also coplanar, meaning they lie on the same plane. Lines AB, AE, and CD are not concurrent at point A, as they do not intersect at the same point. Therefore, the correct answer is that lines AE, BE, CE, and DE are concurrent at point E.Rate this question:

A tetrahedron has 4 triangular faces. How many edges does it have?
Correct Answer
6Explanation
A tetrahedron is a three-dimensional geometric shape with four triangular faces. Each triangular face shares an edge with two other faces. Therefore, each edge of the tetrahedron is shared by two triangular faces. Since each triangular face has three edges, the total number of edges in a tetrahedron is 3 multiplied by the number of triangular faces, which is 3 multiplied by 4, equaling 12. However, each edge is counted twice in this calculation, so we divide the total by 2 to get the actual number of unique edges, which is 6.Rate this question:
- 5.
How many distinct planes does the tetrahedron's faces define?
Correct Answer
4Explanation
A tetrahedron is a three-dimensional shape with four triangular faces. Each face of the tetrahedron defines a distinct plane, as no two faces lie in the same plane. Therefore, the tetrahedron's faces define four distinct planes.Rate this question:
- 6.
How many corners does the tetrahedron have?
Correct Answer
4Explanation
A tetrahedron is a three-dimensional geometric shape that consists of four triangular faces. Each face of the tetrahedron has three corners, and since there are four faces, the tetrahedron has a total of four corners.Rate this question:

What is true based on the Euler diagram shown below?
- A.
If you do not get a lot of sleep, then you have a newborn child.
- B.
All people who do not get a lot of sleep have newborn children.
- C.
If you do not have a newborn child, then you get a lot of sleep.
- D.
If you get a lot of sleep, then you do not have a newborn child.
- E.
All people who do not get a lot of sleep have newborn children.
Correct Answer
D. If you get a lot of sleep, then you do not have a newborn child.Explanation
Based on the Euler diagram shown, the correct answer is that if you get a lot of sleep, then you do not have a newborn child. This is because the diagram shows that the circle representing "getting a lot of sleep" is completely outside the circle representing "having a newborn child." Therefore, there is no overlap between the two circles, indicating that these two conditions are mutually exclusive.Rate this question:

What vocabulary word describes the two statements below?If you wear blue, then you are a senior.If you are a senior, then you wear blue.The second statement is the _____________ of the first statement.
Correct Answer
converseExplanation
The term "converse" is used to describe the second statement in relation to the first statement. In logic, the converse of a conditional statement is formed by switching the hypothesis and conclusion. In this case, the first statement states that wearing blue implies being a senior, while the second statement states that being a senior implies wearing blue. Therefore, the second statement is the converse of the first statement.Rate this question:

What do we call the terms point, line and plane in Geometry?
- A.
They are postulates.
- B.
They are theorems.
- C.
They are undefined terms.
- D.
They are definitions.
- E.
None of the above.
Correct Answer
C. They are undefined terms.Explanation
In geometry, point, line, and plane are considered as undefined terms. This means that they are not defined in terms of other geometric objects, but rather they are the basic building blocks from which all other geometric concepts are derived. These undefined terms serve as the foundation of geometry and are used to define other geometric objects and relationships.Rate this question:

Which of the following are true about Triangle ABC if angle A = 40 degrees and Angle B = 100 degrees?I. Triangle ABC is obtuse.II. Triangle ABC is acute.III Triangle ABC is isosceles.
- A.
I only
- B.
II only
- C.
III only
- D.
I and II only
- E.
I and III only
Correct Answer
E. I and III onlyExplanation
The given information states that angle A is 40 degrees and angle B is 100 degrees. Based on this, we can determine that angle C must be 180 - (40 + 100) = 40 degrees.
I. Triangle ABC is obtuse: Since angle C is 40 degrees, which is less than 90 degrees, Triangle ABC is not obtuse. Therefore, this statement is false.
II. Triangle ABC is acute: Since angle C is 40 degrees, which is less than 90 degrees, Triangle ABC is acute. Therefore, this statement is true.
III. Triangle ABC is isosceles: Since angle A is 40 degrees and angle B is 100 degrees, these two angles are not equal. Therefore, Triangle ABC is not isosceles. Therefore, this statement is false.
Therefore, the correct statements are I (Triangle ABC is obtuse) and III (Triangle ABC is isosceles) only.Rate this question:

The earth's circumference is approximately 25000 miles. City A and B are 2500 miles apart. At noon in City A, the sun is directly overhead. What is the angle the sun makes with standing objects in City B at the same time?
Correct Answer
36
36 degreesExplanation
At noon, the sun is directly overhead in City A, which means it is at a 90-degree angle with standing objects in that city. Since City A and City B are 2500 miles apart and the earth's circumference is approximately 25000 miles, City B is 1/10th of the way around the earth from City A. Therefore, the angle the sun makes with standing objects in City B at the same time would also be 1/10th of 90 degrees, which is 36 degrees.Rate this question:

How many circles are required to bisect a segment?
Correct Answer
2Explanation
To bisect a segment, you need to divide it into two equal parts. This can be achieved by drawing a circle that intersects the segment at two points. The line connecting these two points on the segment will divide it into two equal parts. Therefore, only 2 circles are required to bisect a segment.Rate this question:

How many circles are required to bisect an angle?
Correct Answer
3Explanation
To bisect an angle, you need to draw two lines that divide the angle into two equal parts. One line can be drawn by using a straightedge, but to draw the second line, you need to use a compass to create an arc that intersects the angle's sides. This arc will intersect the angle's sides at two points, and by connecting these points to the angle's vertex, you will have bisected the angle. Therefore, you need to use at least one circle (compass) to bisect an angle, and a total of three circles (two arcs and one for the compass) are required.Rate this question:

What is the best description in words of the Euler diagram below?
- A.
It is a blip if it is a blop.
- B.
It is a blop if it is a blip.
- C.
No blops are blips.
- D.
No blips are blops.
Correct Answer
A. It is a blip if it is a blop.Explanation
The Euler diagrams show the relationships between the sets "blips" and "blops." Let's analyze each diagram:
In the left diagram, "blops" are entirely within "blips."
In the right diagram, "blips" are entirely within "blops."
Given these relationships, the correct descriptions are as follows:
For the left diagram: Every "blop" is also a "blip" because the "blops" circle is entirely within the "blips" circle.
For the right diagram: Every "blip" is also a "blop" because the "blips" circle is entirely within the "blops" circle.
So, the best descriptions would be:
For the left diagram:
It is a blip if it is a blop.
No blops are blips. (This statement is incorrect because all blops are blips.)
For the right diagram:
It is a blop if it is a blip.
No blips are blops. (This statement is incorrect because all blips are blops.)
Therefore, the correct description is:
It is a blip if it is a blop.Rate this question:

A. Martha is an only child.B. Martha has a brother.C. One of these statements is false.If all of the above statements are either True or False, which can you conclude?
- A.
All three statements are true.
- B.
Only statement A is true
- C.
Only statement B is true.
- D.
Statements B and C are true.
- E.
All statements are false.
Correct Answer
D. Statements B and C are true.Explanation
The answer is "Statements B and C are true" because if all three statements were true, it would create a contradiction. If statement A were true, Martha would be an only child, but if statement B were also true, Martha would have a brother, which contradicts being an only child. Therefore, statement A cannot be true. This means either statement B or C must be false. Since we know that one of the statements is false, it confirms that statement C is true. Thus, the only remaining option is that statement B is also true.Rate this question:
