1

A quadrilateral is a shape with __________ sides.

91% Answer Correctly

5

2

4

3


Solution

A quadrilateral is a shape with four sides. The perimeter of a quadrilateral is the sum of the lengths of its four sides.


2

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

77% Answer Correctly

a = π r2

a = π d2

a = π d

a = π r


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

If the base of this triangle is 3 and the height is 2, what is the area?

59% Answer Correctly
3
63
45
24\(\frac{1}{2}\)

Solution

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

a = ½bh
a = ½ x 3 x 2 = \( \frac{6}{2} \) = 3


4

If angle a = 20° and angle b = 38° what is the length of angle d?

56% Answer Correctly
160°
110°
125°
128°

Solution

An exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the two interior angles that are opposite:

d° = b° + c°

To find angle c, remember that the sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°:

180° = a° + b° + c°
c° = 180° - a° - b°
c° = 180° - 20° - 38° = 122°

So, d° = 38° + 122° = 160°

A shortcut to get this answer is to remember that angles around a line add up to 180°:

a° + d° = 180°
d° = 180° - a°
d° = 180° - 20° = 160°


5

This diagram represents two parallel lines with a transversal. If c° = 25, what is the value of d°?

73% Answer Correctly
14
161
35
155

Solution

For parallel lines with a transversal, the following relationships apply:

  • angles in the same position on different parallel lines equal each other (a° = w°, b° = x°, c° = z°, d° = y°)
  • alternate interior angles are equal (a° = z°, b° = y°, c° = w°, d° = x°)
  • all acute angles (a° = c° = w° = z°) and all obtuse angles (b° = d° = x° = y°) equal each other
  • same-side interior angles are supplementary and add up to 180° (e.g. a° + d° = 180°, d° + c° = 180°)

Applying these relationships starting with c° = 25, the value of d° is 155.
