1

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.


2

Which of the following is not required to define the slope-intercept equation for a line?

42% Answer Correctly

\({\Delta y \over \Delta x}\)

y-intercept

slope

x-intercept


Solution

A line on the coordinate grid can be defined by a slope-intercept equation: y = mx + b. For a given value of x, the value of y can be determined given the slope (m) and y-intercept (b) of the line. The slope of a line is change in y over change in x, \({\Delta y \over \Delta x}\), and the y-intercept is the y-coordinate where the line crosses the vertical y-axis.


3

If AD = 28 and BD = 20, AB = ?

75% Answer Correctly
4
8
17
3

Solution

The entire length of this line is represented by AD which is AB + BD:

AD = AB + BD

Solving for AB:

AB = AD - BD
AB = 28 - 20
AB = 8


4

If a = 2 and y = -6, what is the value of 3a(a - y)?

68% Answer Correctly
48
312
-15
-28

Solution

To solve this equation, replace the variables with the values given and then solve the now variable-free equation. (Remember order of operations, PEMDAS, Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication/Division, Addition/Subtraction.)

3a(a - y)
3(2)(2 + 6)
3(2)(8)
(6)(8)
48


5

If side a = 4, side b = 7, what is the length of the hypotenuse of this right triangle?

63% Answer Correctly
\( \sqrt{61} \)
\( \sqrt{68} \)
\( \sqrt{65} \)
\( \sqrt{41} \)

Solution

According to the Pythagorean theorem, the hypotenuse squared is equal to the sum of the two perpendicular sides squared:

c2 = a2 + b2
c2 = 42 + 72
c2 = 16 + 49
c2 = 65
c = \( \sqrt{65} \)
