    (-6-4)+6

    • 4

    • -3

    • -4

    • 8

    Correct Answer
    A. -4
    Explanation
    To solve the given expression, we need to follow the order of operations, which states that we should perform any calculations inside parentheses first. In this case, there are no parentheses, so we move on to the next step, which is to perform any additions or subtractions from left to right. We start with -6 minus 4, which equals -10. Then, we add 6 to -10, resulting in -4. Therefore, the correct answer is -4.

    Rate this question:

  • 13. 

    The formula for the area of square is A=(s)*(s)

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The formula for the area of a square is given by multiplying the length of one side (s) by itself. This can be derived from the fact that a square has all sides equal in length, so multiplying any side by itself will give the area of the square. Therefore, the statement "The formula for the area of a square is A=(s)*(s)" is true.

    Rate this question:

  • 14. 

    Does the point(7, 1) satisfy the equation y = x – 6?  

    • No

    • Yes

    Correct Answer
    A. Yes
    Explanation
    The point (7, 1) satisfies the equation y = x - 6 because when we substitute x = 7 into the equation, we get y = 7 - 6 = 1. Hence, the statement "yes" is the correct answer.

    Correct Answer
    A. Parallel lines
    Explanation
    Parallel lines are coplanar lines that do not meet or intersect at any point. They are always equidistant from each other and have the same slope. This means that they will never cross paths and will continue in the same direction indefinitely. Examples of parallel lines include railroad tracks or the sides of a rectangle.

    A miniature golf course recently provided its customers with 12 golf balls, of which 4 were orange. Based on experimental probability, how many of the next 18 golf balls handed out should you expect to be orange golf balls?

    • 6

    • 5

    • 7

    • 8

    Correct Answer
    A. 6
    Explanation
    Based on experimental probability, if 4 out of 12 golf balls were orange, then the probability of getting an orange golf ball is 4/12. To find the expected number of orange golf balls out of the next 18, we multiply the probability by the number of balls: (4/12) * 18 = 6. Therefore, we should expect 6 of the next 18 golf balls handed out to be orange.

    An angle that measures less than 90 degrees.

    • Acute angle

    • Right angle

    • Obtuse angle

    • Straight angle

    Correct Answer
    A. Acute angle
    Explanation
    An acute angle is an angle that measures less than 90 degrees. It is one of the basic types of angles in geometry, distinguishing itself by being smaller than a right angle (which measures exactly 90 degrees). Acute angles are found in various geometric shapes and are a fundamental concept in understanding angle relationships and properties within different polygons and constructions.

    Rate this question:

  • 30. 

    Lines that intersect at a right angle?

    • Skew line

    • Perpendicular line

    • Vertical line

    • Intersecting line

    Correct Answer
    A. Perpendicular line
    Explanation
    Perpendicular lines are the only lines that intersect at a right angle. When two lines are perpendicular, the angles formed at their intersection are always 90 degrees. This is a unique characteristic of perpendicular lines and distinguishes them from other types of lines such as skew, vertical, or intersecting lines. Skew lines do not intersect at all, vertical lines are parallel to each other, and intersecting lines can intersect at any angle other than 90 degrees. Therefore, the correct answer is perpendicular line.

    What is the length of the hypotenuse , if the length is 3km and the base is 4 km .   - ProProfs

    What is the length of the hypotenuse , if the length is 3km and the base is 4 km .  

    • 5 km

    • 20 km

    • 30 km

    • 40 km

    Correct Answer
    A. 5 km
    Explanation
    The Pythagorean theorem states that in a right-angled triangle, the square of the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle) is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides (legs). In this case:  
    Leg 1 = 3 km
    Leg 2 (base) = 4 km
    Applying the Pythagorean theorem:
    Hypotenuse^2 = Leg 1^2 + Leg 2^2 Hypotenuse^2 = 3^2 + 4^2 Hypotenuse^2 = 9 + 16 Hypotenuse^2 = 25 Hypotenuse = √25 = 5 km
    Therefore, the length of the hypotenuse is 5 km.

    • -2

    • -10

    • 10

    • 2

    Correct Answer
    A. -10
    Explanation
    The given expression is a subtraction problem. To solve it, we subtract 4 from -6. When subtracting a positive number from a negative number, we add the absolute values and keep the sign of the larger number. In this case, the absolute value of -6 is 6, and the absolute value of 4 is 4. Adding them gives us 10. Since -6 is the larger number and it is negative, the answer is -10.

    Rate this question:

  • 41. 

    A plane contains atleast three non-collinear points and space contains atleast four non-coplanar points.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    A plane is a two-dimensional surface that extends infinitely in all directions. In order to define a plane, we need a minimum of three non-collinear points, meaning that the points cannot all lie on the same straight line. Similarly, space is a three-dimensional region that extends infinitely in all directions. To define space, we need a minimum of four non-coplanar points, meaning that the points cannot all lie on the same plane. Therefore, the statement is true as a plane requires at least three non-collinear points, and space requires at least four non-coplanar points.

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Three or More
    Explanation
    In a plane, lines are said to be concurrent if they intersect at the same point. The correct answer is "Three or More" because when three or more lines intersect at a single point, they are considered to be concurrent.
