1

If side x = 10cm, side y = 12cm, and side z = 5cm what is the perimeter of this triangle?

84% Answer Correctly
34cm
27cm
31cm
43cm

Solution

The perimeter of a triangle is the sum of the lengths of its sides:

p = x + y + z
p = 10cm + 12cm + 5cm = 27cm


2

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

45% Answer Correctly

bisects

midpoints

trisects

intersects


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.


3

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

70% Answer Correctly

equal length

equal angle

parallel

right angle


Solution

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


4

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

77% Answer Correctly

a = π r2

a = π r

a = π d

a = π d2


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

Solve for x:
x2 - 5x - 6 = 0

58% Answer Correctly
6 or 2
8 or -8
6 or -1
-1 or 6

Solution

The first step to solve a quadratic equation that's set to zero is to factor the quadratic equation:

x2 - 5x - 6 = 0
(x + 1)(x - 6) = 0

For this expression to be true, the left side of the expression must equal zero. Therefore, either (x + 1) or (x - 6) must equal zero:

If (x + 1) = 0, x must equal -1
If (x - 6) = 0, x must equal 6

So the solution is that x = -1 or 6
