1

Which types of triangles will always have at least two sides of equal length?

53% Answer Correctly

equilateral, isosceles and right

isosceles and right

equilateral and isosceles

equilateral and right


Solution

An isosceles triangle has two sides of equal length. An equilateral triangle has three sides of equal length. In a right triangle, two sides meet at a right angle.


2

Order the following types of angle from least number of degrees to most number of degrees.

74% Answer Correctly

right, acute, obtuse

acute, obtuse, right

right, obtuse, acute

acute, right, obtuse


Solution

An acute angle measures less than 90°, a right angle measures 90°, and an obtuse angle measures more than 90°.


3

Solve for a:
a2 + 11a + 28 = 0

58% Answer Correctly
9 or -9
-4 or -7
8 or -5
4 or 1

Solution

The first step to solve a quadratic equation that's set to zero is to factor the quadratic equation:

a2 + 11a + 28 = 0
(a + 4)(a + 7) = 0

For this expression to be true, the left side of the expression must equal zero. Therefore, either (a + 4) or (a + 7) must equal zero:

If (a + 4) = 0, a must equal -4
If (a + 7) = 0, a must equal -7

So the solution is that a = -4 or -7


4

If a = c = 1, b = d = 4, what is the area of this rectangle?

79% Answer Correctly
32
35
4
42

Solution

The area of a rectangle is equal to its length x width:

a = l x w
a = a x b
a = 1 x 4
a = 4


5

On this circle, line segment CD is the:

46% Answer Correctly

circumference

diameter

chord

radius


Solution

A circle is a figure in which each point around its perimeter is an equal distance from the center. The radius of a circle is the distance between the center and any point along its perimeter. A chord is a line segment that connects any two points along its perimeter. The diameter of a circle is the length of a chord that passes through the center of the circle and equals twice the circle's radius (2r).
