1

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

58% Answer Correctly
78
35
16
40

Solution

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

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


2

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

70% Answer Correctly

right angle

equal length

equal angle

parallel


Solution

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


3

Simplify 3a x 4b.

86% Answer Correctly
12ab
12\( \frac{b}{a} \)
12\( \frac{a}{b} \)
7ab

Solution

To multiply monomials, multiply the coefficients (the numbers that come before the variables) of each term, add the exponents of like variables, and multiply the different variables together.

3a x 4b = (3 x 4) (a x b) = 12ab


4

If b = 7 and y = 9, what is the value of -b(b - y)?

69% Answer Correctly
96
-162
320
14

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.)

-b(b - y)
-1(7)(7 - 9)
-1(7)(-2)
(-7)(-2)
14


5

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

42% Answer Correctly

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

x-intercept

slope

y-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.
