1

If the base of this triangle is 1 and the height is 5, what is the area?

58% Answer Correctly
2\(\frac{1}{2}\)
35
91
36

Solution

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

a = ½bh
a = ½ x 1 x 5 = \( \frac{5}{2} \) = 2\(\frac{1}{2}\)


2

The formula for the area of a circle is which of the following?

24% Answer Correctly

c = π d2

c = π r

c = π d

c = π r2


Solution

The circumference of a circle is the distance around its perimeter and equals π (approx. 3.14159) x diameter: c = π d. The area of a circle is π x (radius)2 : a = π r2.


3

A(n) __________ is to a parallelogram as a square is to a rectangle.

52% Answer Correctly

triangle

trapezoid

quadrilateral

rhombus


Solution

A rhombus is a parallelogram with four equal-length sides. A square is a rectangle with four equal-length sides.


4

The dimensions of this trapezoid are a = 6, b = 4, c = 7, d = 8, and h = 5. What is the area?

51% Answer Correctly
35
30
16\(\frac{1}{2}\)
18

Solution

The area of a trapezoid is one-half the sum of the lengths of the parallel sides multiplied by the height:

a = ½(b + d)(h)
a = ½(4 + 8)(5)
a = ½(12)(5)
a = ½(60) = \( \frac{60}{2} \)
a = 30


5

The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, -6) and (2, -2). What is the slope-intercept equation for this line?

41% Answer Correctly
y = x - 4
y = -2x + 1
y = -2x - 3
y = -x + 3

Solution

The slope-intercept equation for a line is y = mx + b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept of the line. From the graph, you can see that the y-intercept (the y-value from the point where the line crosses the y-axis) is -4. The slope of this line is the change in y divided by the change in x. The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, -6) and (2, -2) so the slope becomes:

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(-2.0) - (-6.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{4}{4} \)
m = 1

Plugging these values into the slope-intercept equation:

y = x - 4
