1

On this circle, a line segment connecting point A to point D is called:

46% Answer Correctly

diameter

circumference

chord

radius


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).

If side a = 3, side b = 1, what is the length of the hypotenuse of this right triangle?

64% Answer Correctly
\( \sqrt{85} \)
\( \sqrt{10} \)
\( \sqrt{2} \)
\( \sqrt{80} \)

Solution

According to the Pythagorean theorem, the hypotenuse squared is equal to the sum of the two perpendicular sides squared:

c2 = a2 + b2
c2 = 32 + 12
c2 = 9 + 1
c2 = 10
c = \( \sqrt{10} \)


3

If side x = 11cm, side y = 11cm, and side z = 8cm what is the perimeter of this triangle?

84% Answer Correctly
29cm
30cm
36cm
28cm

Solution

The perimeter of a triangle is the sum of the lengths of its sides:

p = x + y + z
p = 11cm + 11cm + 8cm = 30cm


4

If angle a = 27° and angle b = 65° what is the length of angle d?

56% Answer Correctly
153°
117°
160°
147°

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° - 27° - 65° = 88°

So, d° = 65° + 88° = 153°

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° - 27° = 153°


5

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

51% Answer Correctly

rhombus

quadrilateral

triangle

trapezoid


Solution

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