1

If the length of AB equals the length of BD, point B __________ this line segment.

45% Answer Correctly

trisects

bisects

intersects

midpoints
Solution

A line segment is a portion of a line with a measurable length. The midpoint of a line segment is the point exactly halfway between the endpoints. The midpoint bisects (cuts in half) the line segment.

2

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

53% Answer Correctly

equilateral and isosceles

equilateral and right

isosceles and right

equilateral, 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.

3

If the base of this triangle is 8 and the height is 4, what is the area?

58% Answer Correctly
39
16
24\(\frac{1}{2}\)
27\(\frac{1}{2}\)
Solution

The area of a triangle is equal to ½ base x height:

a = ½bh
a = ½ x 8 x 4 = \( \frac{32}{2} \) = 16

4

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

74% Answer Correctly

squaring

deconstructing

factoring

normalizing
Solution

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

5

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

24% Answer Correctly

c = π d

c = π r2

c = π d2

c = π r
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.
