1

Which types of triangles will always have at least two sides of equal length?

53% Answer Correctly

equilateral and right

equilateral, isosceles and right

equilateral and isosceles

isosceles and right


Solution

An isosceles triangle has two sides of equal length. An equilateral triangle has three sides of equal length. In a right triangle, two sides meet at a right angle.


2

If a = 2, b = 6, c = 2, and d = 8, what is the perimeter of this quadrilateral?

88% Answer Correctly
18
19
12
23

Solution

Perimeter is equal to the sum of the four sides:

p = a + b + c + d
p = 2 + 6 + 2 + 8
p = 18


3

The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, -8) and (2, 2). What is the slope of this line?

46% Answer Correctly
3
-3
\(\frac{1}{2}\)
2\(\frac{1}{2}\)

Solution

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, -8) and (2, 2) so the slope becomes:

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(2.0) - (-8.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{10}{4} \)
m = 2\(\frac{1}{2}\)


4

The formula for the area of a circle is which of the following?

24% Answer Correctly

c = π r2

c = π d2

c = π r

c = π d


Solution

The circumference of a circle is the distance around its perimeter and equals π (approx. 3.14159) x diameter: c = π d. The area of a circle is π x (radius)2 : a = π r2.


5

The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 9 and radius (r) = 3. What is the surface area?

48% Answer Correctly
132π
60π
72π
24π

Solution

The surface area of a cylinder is 2πr2 + 2πrh:

sa = 2πr2 + 2πrh
sa = 2π(32) + 2π(3 x 9)
sa = 2π(9) + 2π(27)
sa = (2 x 9)π + (2 x 27)π
sa = 18π + 54π
sa = 72π
