Example Questions

Example Question #1 : How To Find Length Of A Line

Which is true about a ray?

Possible Answers:

A ray is a line with a start point, but no end point.

A ray has three end points.

A ray extends indefinitely in both directions.

A ray is always shorter than a line segment.

A ray is always shaped like a circle.

Correct answer:

A ray is a line with a start point, but no end point.

Explanation:

A ray always has one start point, and then continues indefinitely in the opposite direction. Line segments are different because they have a defined start and end point.

Alex needs to buy a fence for her yard. She doesn't know how much she needs to surround the entire yard. What does she need to calculate to figure this out?

Possible Answers:

height of the fence

volume of the yard

perimeter of the yard

area of the yard

Correct answer:

perimeter of the yard

Explanation:

Perimeter is the distance around a shape. She needs to know the perimeter of her yard to determine how much fence to buy.

Example Question #1 : How To Find Length Of A Line

Line AC is 12 inches long. If Point B is located in the center of Line AC, how many inches long is Line BC?

Possible Answers:

$\displaystyle 6$

$\displaystyle 8$

$\displaystyle 24$

$\displaystyle 3$

$\displaystyle 10$

Correct answer:

$\displaystyle 6$

Explanation:

Since Point B is located in the middle of Line AC, it will break Line AC into two equal line segments - Line AB and Line BC. We should divide the original length of Line AC by 2 because we are breaking the original line in half.

$12\div2 = 6$ $\displaystyle 12\div2 = 6$

Example Question #2 : How To Find Length Of A Line

A line is $\displaystyle 24$ inches long on a number line, if the starting point is $\displaystyle 4$ , what is the end point on the number line?

Possible Answers:

$\displaystyle 28$

$\displaystyle 16$

$\displaystyle 20$

$\displaystyle 24$

Correct answer:

$\displaystyle 28$

Explanation:

You must add the start point to the length of the line to find the end point of the line.

4+24=28 $\displaystyle 4+24=28$

Example Question #4 : How To Find Length Of A Line

A pentagon has ____ sides.

Possible Answers:

$\displaystyle 6$

$\displaystyle 5$

$\displaystyle 8$

$\displaystyle 7$

$\displaystyle 4$

Correct answer:

$\displaystyle 5$

Explanation:

A pentagon has five sides.

Example Question #3 : How To Find Length Of A Line

Line AC is 24 inches long. If Point B is the midpoint of Line AC, how many inches long is Line BC?

Possible Answers:

$\displaystyle 16$

$\displaystyle 12$

$\displaystyle 8$

$\displaystyle 48$

$\displaystyle 10$

Correct answer:

$\displaystyle 12$

Explanation:

Point B is the midpoint that breaks Line AC into two line segments of equal length. Therefore, to find the length of Line BC, divide the length of Line AC by 2:

$24 \div 2 = 12$ $\displaystyle 24 \div 2 = 12$

Example Question #7 : How To Find Length Of A Line

What is a line segment?

Possible Answers:

A line that is always greater than 10 centimeters.

A line that has no start or end points.

A part of a line that connects two points.

A line that is always smaller than 10 centimeters.

A line that has a start point but no end point.

Correct answer:

A part of a line that connects two points.

Explanation:

A line segment is a part of a line that connects two points. It is different than a line and a ray because it has a defined start and end point.

Example Question #661 : Geometry

Which statement is true regarding line segments?

Possible Answers:

A line segment extends in both directions without endpoints.

A line segment has three endpoints.

A line segment is a "piece" of a line and has two endpoints.

A line segment is curved.

A line segment has one endpoint, but continues indefinitely in one direction.

Correct answer:

A line segment is a "piece" of a line and has two endpoints.

Explanation:

A line segment is a piece of a line connected by two endpoints.

Example Question #5 : Lines

A line is connected from (1,3) $\displaystyle (1,3)$ to (5,9) $\displaystyle (5,9)$ . What is the length of the line?

Possible Answers:

$\frac{13}{3}$ $\displaystyle \frac{13}{3}$

$\sqrt{13}$ $\displaystyle \sqrt{13}$

$\frac{3}{2}$ $\displaystyle \frac{3}{2}$

$2\sqrt{13}$ $\displaystyle 2\sqrt{13}$

$\frac{\sqrt{13}}{2}$ $\displaystyle \frac{\sqrt{13}}{2}$

Correct answer:

$2\sqrt{13}$ $\displaystyle 2\sqrt{13}$

Explanation:

Write the distance formula.

$D=\sqrt{(y_2-y_1)^2+(x_2-x_1)^2}$ $\displaystyle D=\sqrt{(y_2-y_1)^2+(x_2-x_1)^2}$

Substitute the points and solve for the distance.

$D=\sqrt{(9-3)^2+(5-1)^2}=\sqrt{6^2+4^2} = \sqrt{36+16} = \sqrt{52}$ $\displaystyle D=\sqrt{(9-3)^2+(5-1)^2}=\sqrt{6^2+4^2} = \sqrt{36+16} = \sqrt{52}$

$D= \sqrt{4}\times \sqrt{13}$ $\displaystyle D= \sqrt{4}\times \sqrt{13}$

$D=2\sqrt{13}$ $\displaystyle D=2\sqrt{13}$

Example Question #662 : Geometry

Find the length of a line which starts at the point (1,7) and goes till (9,7).

Possible Answers:

$\displaystyle 9$

$\displaystyle 10$

$\displaystyle 8$

$\displaystyle 7$

Correct answer:

$\displaystyle 8$

Explanation:

To solve, simply realize the distance between these points will just be the difference of their x values since their y values stay the same.

These points are on a horizontal line.

Thus,

$\displaystyle distance=9-1=8$
