1

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

54% Answer Correctly

isosceles and right

equilateral, isosceles and right

equilateral and isosceles

equilateral 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.


2

What is the area of a circle with a diameter of 6?

70% Answer Correctly
25π

Solution

The formula for area is πr2. Radius is circle \( \frac{diameter}{2} \):

r = \( \frac{d}{2} \)
r = \( \frac{6}{2} \)
r = 3
a = πr2
a = π(32)
a = 9π


3

Solve for b:
8b + 9 < 7 + 5b

55% Answer Correctly
b < -\(\frac{2}{3}\)
b < \(\frac{5}{6}\)
b < -\(\frac{2}{9}\)
b < -\(\frac{1}{6}\)

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 < sign and the answer on the other.

8b + 9 < 7 + 5b
8b < 7 + 5b - 9
8b - 5b < 7 - 9
3b < -2
b < \( \frac{-2}{3} \)
b < -\(\frac{2}{3}\)


4

The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, -6) and (2, -2). What is the slope-intercept equation for this line?

41% Answer Correctly
y = -x + 4
y = 2x + 4
y = -2x + 0
y = x - 4

Solution

The slope-intercept equation for a line is y = mx + b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept of the line. From the graph, you can see that the y-intercept (the y-value from the point where the line crosses the y-axis) is -4. The slope of this line is the change in y divided by the change in x. The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, -6) and (2, -2) so the slope becomes:

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(-2.0) - (-6.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{4}{4} \)
m = 1

Plugging these values into the slope-intercept equation:

y = x - 4


5

If angle a = 63° and angle b = 38° what is the length of angle d?

56% Answer Correctly
120°
133°
132°
117°

Solution

An exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the two interior angles that are opposite:

d° = b° + c°

To find angle c, remember that the sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°:

180° = a° + b° + c°
c° = 180° - a° - b°
c° = 180° - 63° - 38° = 79°

So, d° = 38° + 79° = 117°

A shortcut to get this answer is to remember that angles around a line add up to 180°:

a° + d° = 180°
d° = 180° - a°
d° = 180° - 63° = 117°
