1

The dimensions of this trapezoid are a = 5, b = 8, c = 8, d = 7, and h = 3. What is the area?

51% Answer Correctly
15
34
8
22\(\frac{1}{2}\)

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(8 + 7)(3)
a = ½(15)(3)
a = ½(45) = \( \frac{45}{2} \)
a = 22\(\frac{1}{2}\)


2

On this circle, line segment AB is the:

70% Answer Correctly

circumference

radius

diameter

chord


Solution

A circle is a figure in which each point around its perimeter is an equal distance from the center. The radius of a circle is the distance between the center and any point along its perimeter. A chord is a line segment that connects any two points along its perimeter. The diameter of a circle is the length of a chord that passes through the center of the circle and equals twice the circle's radius (2r).


3

When two lines intersect, adjacent angles are __________ (they add up to 180°) and angles across from either other are __________ (they're equal).

60% Answer Correctly

acute, obtuse

vertical, supplementary

supplementary, vertical

obtuse, acute


Solution

Angles around a line add up to 180°. Angles around a point add up to 360°. When two lines intersect, adjacent angles are supplementary (they add up to 180°) and angles across from either other are vertical (they're equal).


4

Simplify (2a)(3ab) + (9a2)(2b).

65% Answer Correctly
55a2b
24a2b
24ab2
12ab2

Solution

To multiply monomials, multiply the coefficients (the numbers that come before the variables) of each term, add the exponents of like variables, and multiply the different variables together.

(2a)(3ab) + (9a2)(2b)
(2 x 3)(a x a x b) + (9 x 2)(a2 x b)
(6)(a1+1 x b) + (18)(a2b)
6a2b + 18a2b
24a2b


5

Solve for b:
-2b + 2 < 6 + 2b

55% Answer Correctly
b < -1
b < -3\(\frac{1}{2}\)
b < \(\frac{7}{8}\)
b < 2

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.

-2b + 2 < 6 + 2b
-2b < 6 + 2b - 2
-2b - 2b < 6 - 2
-4b < 4
b < \( \frac{4}{-4} \)
b < -1
