1

A trapezoid is a quadrilateral with one set of __________ sides.

70% Answer Correctly

equal length

right angle

equal angle

parallel


Solution

A trapezoid is a quadrilateral with one set of parallel sides.


2

Simplify (y + 4)(y + 2)

63% Answer Correctly
y2 + 6y + 8
y2 - 2y - 8
y2 + 2y - 8
y2 - 6y + 8

Solution

To multiply binomials, use the FOIL method. FOIL stands for First, Outside, Inside, Last and refers to the position of each term in the parentheses:

(y + 4)(y + 2)
(y x y) + (y x 2) + (4 x y) + (4 x 2)
y2 + 2y + 4y + 8
y2 + 6y + 8


3

The dimensions of this trapezoid are a = 4, b = 9, c = 7, d = 9, and h = 3. What is the area?

51% Answer Correctly
27
6
13\(\frac{1}{2}\)
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(9 + 9)(3)
a = ½(18)(3)
a = ½(54) = \( \frac{54}{2} \)
a = 27


4

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

supplementary, vertical

acute, obtuse

obtuse, acute

vertical, supplementary


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).


5

Solve for c:
-2c - 7 < \( \frac{c}{9} \)

44% Answer Correctly
c < -14
c < \(\frac{1}{2}\)
c < -3\(\frac{6}{19}\)
c < -1\(\frac{1}{24}\)

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.

-2c - 7 < \( \frac{c}{9} \)
9 x (-2c - 7) < c
(9 x -2c) + (9 x -7) < c
-18c - 63 < c
-18c - 63 - c < 0
-18c - c < 63
-19c < 63
c < \( \frac{63}{-19} \)
c < -3\(\frac{6}{19}\)
