1

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

70% Answer Correctly

parallel

equal angle

equal length

right angle


Solution

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


2

What is 4a - 9a?

79% Answer Correctly
36a
-5a
13
36a2

Solution

To combine like terms, add or subtract the coefficients (the numbers that come before the variables) of terms that have the same variable raised to the same exponent.

4a - 9a = -5a


3

If angle a = 67° and angle b = 65° what is the length of angle c?

71% Answer Correctly
48°
56°
81°
85°

Solution

The sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°:
180° = a° + b° + c°
c° = 180° - a° - b°
c° = 180° - 67° - 65° = 48°


4

The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, -2) and (2, 4). What is the slope-intercept equation for this line?

41% Answer Correctly
y = -3x + 1
y = -\(\frac{1}{2}\)x + 0
y = -2\(\frac{1}{2}\)x - 3
y = 1\(\frac{1}{2}\)x + 1

Solution

The slope-intercept equation for a line is y = mx + b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept of the line. From the graph, you can see that the y-intercept (the y-value from the point where the line crosses the y-axis) is 1. The slope of this line is the change in y divided by the change in x. The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, -2) and (2, 4) so the slope becomes:

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(4.0) - (-2.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{6}{4} \)
m = 1\(\frac{1}{2}\)

Plugging these values into the slope-intercept equation:

y = 1\(\frac{1}{2}\)x + 1


5

If side a = 4, side b = 7, what is the length of the hypotenuse of this right triangle?

64% Answer Correctly
\( \sqrt{37} \)
\( \sqrt{50} \)
\( \sqrt{89} \)
\( \sqrt{65} \)

Solution

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

c2 = a2 + b2
c2 = 42 + 72
c2 = 16 + 49
c2 = 65
c = \( \sqrt{65} \)
