1

A quadrilateral is a shape with __________ sides.

91% Answer Correctly

5

4

3

2


Solution

A quadrilateral is a shape with four sides. The perimeter of a quadrilateral is the sum of the lengths of its four sides.


2

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

70% Answer Correctly

parallel

equal length

equal angle

right angle


Solution

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


3

A coordinate grid is composed of which of the following?

89% Answer Correctly

all of these

y-axis

x-axis

origin


Solution

The coordinate grid is composed of a horizontal x-axis and a vertical y-axis. The center of the grid, where the x-axis and y-axis meet, is called the origin.


4

For this diagram, the Pythagorean theorem states that b2 = ?

47% Answer Correctly

c2 - a2

c2 + a2

a2 - c2

c - a


Solution

The Pythagorean theorem defines the relationship between the side lengths of a right triangle. The length of the hypotenuse squared (c2) is equal to the sum of the two perpendicular sides squared (a2 + b2): c2 = a2 + b2 or, solved for c, \(c = \sqrt{a + b}\)


5

Solve for b:
-3b - 7 = \( \frac{b}{2} \)

46% Answer Correctly
-1\(\frac{7}{17}\)
-2
-1\(\frac{5}{7}\)
2\(\frac{4}{25}\)

Solution

To solve this equation, repeatedly do the same thing to both sides of the equation until the variable is isolated on one side of the equal sign and the answer on the other.

-3b - 7 = \( \frac{b}{2} \)
2 x (-3b - 7) = b
(2 x -3b) + (2 x -7) = b
-6b - 14 = b
-6b - 14 - b = 0
-6b - b = 14
-7b = 14
b = \( \frac{14}{-7} \)
b = -2
