1

If a = 8, b = 8, c = 8, and d = 1, what is the perimeter of this quadrilateral?

88% Answer Correctly
19
16
26
25

Solution

Perimeter is equal to the sum of the four sides:

p = a + b + c + d
p = 8 + 8 + 8 + 1
p = 25


2

Which of the following statements about a parallelogram is not true?

50% Answer Correctly

a parallelogram is a quadrilateral

the area of a parallelogram is base x height

the perimeter of a parallelogram is the sum of the lengths of all sides

opposite sides and adjacent angles are equal


Solution

A parallelogram is a quadrilateral with two sets of parallel sides. Opposite sides (a = c, b = d) and angles (red = red, blue = blue) are equal. The area of a parallelogram is base x height and the perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all sides (a + b + c + d).


3

Factor y2 - 14y + 48

54% Answer Correctly
(y + 8)(y + 6)
(y - 8)(y + 6)
(y + 8)(y - 6)
(y - 8)(y - 6)

Solution

To factor a quadratic expression, apply the FOIL method (First, Outside, Inside, Last) in reverse. First, find the two Last terms that will multiply to produce 48 as well and sum (Inside, Outside) to equal -14. For this problem, those two numbers are -8 and -6. Then, plug these into a set of binomials using the square root of the First variable (y2):

y2 - 14y + 48
y2 + (-8 - 6)y + (-8 x -6)
(y - 8)(y - 6)


4

If the length of AB equals the length of BD, point B __________ this line segment.

46% Answer Correctly

bisects

trisects

intersects

midpoints


Solution

A line segment is a portion of a line with a measurable length. The midpoint of a line segment is the point exactly halfway between the endpoints. The midpoint bisects (cuts in half) the line segment.


5

If angle a = 59° and angle b = 55° what is the length of angle c?

71% Answer Correctly
108°
93°
60°
66°

Solution

The sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°:
180° = a° + b° + c°
c° = 180° - a° - b°
c° = 180° - 59° - 55° = 66°
