1

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

53% Answer Correctly

equilateral and right

isosceles and right

equilateral, isosceles and right

equilateral and isosceles


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

If angle a = 32° and angle b = 49° what is the length of angle c?

71% Answer Correctly
81°
75°
94°
99°

Solution

The sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°:
180° = a° + b° + c°
c° = 180° - a° - b°
c° = 180° - 32° - 49° = 99°


3

If side x = 9cm, side y = 12cm, and side z = 5cm what is the perimeter of this triangle?

84% Answer Correctly
26cm
22cm
40cm
32cm

Solution

The perimeter of a triangle is the sum of the lengths of its sides:

p = x + y + z
p = 9cm + 12cm + 5cm = 26cm


4

Which of the following is not a part of PEMDAS, the acronym for math order of operations?

88% Answer Correctly

division

exponents

addition

pairs


Solution

When solving an equation with two variables, replace the variables with the values given and then solve the now variable-free equation. (Remember order of operations, PEMDAS, Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication/Division, Addition/Subtraction.)


5

If side a = 6, side b = 2, what is the length of the hypotenuse of this right triangle?

64% Answer Correctly
\( \sqrt{8} \)
\( \sqrt{85} \)
\( \sqrt{40} \)
\( \sqrt{17} \)

Solution

According to the Pythagorean theorem, the hypotenuse squared is equal to the sum of the two perpendicular sides squared:

c2 = a2 + b2
c2 = 62 + 22
c2 = 36 + 4
c2 = 40
c = \( \sqrt{40} \)
