1

If a = 1, b = 9, c = 7, and d = 5, what is the perimeter of this quadrilateral?

88% Answer Correctly
27
23
22
20

Solution

Perimeter is equal to the sum of the four sides:

p = a + b + c + d
p = 1 + 9 + 7 + 5
p = 22


2

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

supplementary, vertical

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).


3

The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, 2) and (2, -10). What is the slope-intercept equation for this line?

41% Answer Correctly
y = -1\(\frac{1}{2}\)x + 0
y = 1\(\frac{1}{2}\)x + 1
y = -3x - 4
y = -2\(\frac{1}{2}\)x + 3

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 -4. 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, -10) so the slope becomes:

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(-10.0) - (2.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{-12}{4} \)
m = -3

Plugging these values into the slope-intercept equation:

y = -3x - 4


4

If a = c = 4, b = d = 9, what is the area of this rectangle?

80% Answer Correctly
4
24
3
36

Solution

The area of a rectangle is equal to its length x width:

a = l x w
a = a x b
a = 4 x 9
a = 36


5

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

50% Answer Correctly

opposite sides and adjacent angles are equal

a parallelogram is a quadrilateral

the perimeter of a parallelogram is the sum of the lengths of all sides

the area of a parallelogram is base x height


Solution

A parallelogram is a quadrilateral with two sets of parallel sides. Opposite sides (a = c, b = d) and angles (red = red, blue = blue) are equal. The area of a parallelogram is base x height and the perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all sides (a + b + c + d).
