1

If the base of this triangle is 7 and the height is 8, what is the area?

58% Answer Correctly
28
75
45
27

Solution

The area of a triangle is equal to ½ base x height:

a = ½bh
a = ½ x 7 x 8 = \( \frac{56}{2} \) = 28


2

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

53% Answer Correctly

equilateral and isosceles

isosceles and right

equilateral and right

equilateral, isosceles 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.


3

The dimensions of this cube are height (h) = 7, length (l) = 1, and width (w) = 1. What is the surface area?

51% Answer Correctly
102
210
62
30

Solution

The surface area of a cube is (2 x length x width) + (2 x width x height) + (2 x length x height):

sa = 2lw + 2wh + 2lh
sa = (2 x 1 x 1) + (2 x 1 x 7) + (2 x 1 x 7)
sa = (2) + (14) + (14)
sa = 30


4

If AD = 25 and BD = 24, AB = ?

75% Answer Correctly
15
1
20
19

Solution

The entire length of this line is represented by AD which is AB + BD:

AD = AB + BD

Solving for AB:

AB = AD - BD
AB = 25 - 24
AB = 1


5

Solve for x:
-2x - 4 < 4 - 8x

55% Answer Correctly
x < 5
x < 1\(\frac{1}{3}\)
x < -1
x < -6

Solution

To solve this equation, repeatedly do the same thing to both sides of the equation until the variable is isolated on one side of the < sign and the answer on the other.

-2x - 4 < 4 - 8x
-2x < 4 - 8x + 4
-2x + 8x < 4 + 4
6x < 8
x < \( \frac{8}{6} \)
x < 1\(\frac{1}{3}\)
