1

The dimensions of this trapezoid are a = 4, b = 4, c = 6, d = 5, and h = 2. What is the area?

51% Answer Correctly
30
20
25\(\frac{1}{2}\)
9

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(4 + 5)(2)
a = ½(9)(2)
a = ½(18) = \( \frac{18}{2} \)
a = 9


2

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

57% Answer Correctly

perimeter = sum of side lengths

exterior angle = sum of two adjacent interior angles

area = ½bh

sum of interior angles = 180°


Solution

A triangle is a three-sided polygon. It has three interior angles that add up to 180° (a + b + c = 180°). An exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the two interior angles that are opposite (d = b + c). The perimeter of a triangle is equal to the sum of the lengths of its three sides, the height of a triangle is equal to the length from the base to the opposite vertex (angle) and the area equals one-half triangle base x height: a = ½ base x height.


3

Breaking apart a quadratic expression into a pair of binomials is called:

74% Answer Correctly

squaring

normalizing

deconstructing

factoring


Solution

To factor a quadratic expression, apply the FOIL (First, Outside, Inside, Last) method in reverse.


4

Simplify 8a x 6b.

85% Answer Correctly
48\( \frac{b}{a} \)
48a2b2
14ab
48ab

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.

8a x 6b = (8 x 6) (a x b) = 48ab


5

If side x = 7cm, side y = 13cm, and side z = 8cm what is the perimeter of this triangle?

84% Answer Correctly
24cm
34cm
35cm
28cm

Solution

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

p = x + y + z
p = 7cm + 13cm + 8cm = 28cm
