1

The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, 1) and (2, 7). What is the slope of this line?

46% Answer Correctly
2
\(\frac{1}{2}\)
-2\(\frac{1}{2}\)
1\(\frac{1}{2}\)

Solution

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, 1) and (2, 7) so the slope becomes:

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(7.0) - (1.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{6}{4} \)
m = 1\(\frac{1}{2}\)

If the area of this square is 25, what is the length of one of the diagonals?

68% Answer Correctly
7\( \sqrt{2} \)
8\( \sqrt{2} \)
\( \sqrt{2} \)
5\( \sqrt{2} \)

Solution

To find the diagonal we need to know the length of one of the square's sides. We know the area and the area of a square is the length of one side squared:

a = s2

so the length of one side of the square is:

s = \( \sqrt{a} \) = \( \sqrt{25} \) = 5

The Pythagorean theorem defines the square of the hypotenuse (diagonal) of a triangle with a right angle as the sum of the squares of the other two sides:

c2 = a2 + b2
c2 = 52 + 52
c2 = 50
c = \( \sqrt{50} \) = \( \sqrt{25 x 2} \) = \( \sqrt{25} \) \( \sqrt{2} \)
c = 5\( \sqrt{2} \)


3

Which of the following statements about a parallelogram is not true?

49% Answer Correctly

a parallelogram is a quadrilateral

the area of a parallelogram is base x height

opposite sides and adjacent angles are equal

the perimeter of a parallelogram is the sum of the lengths of all sides


Solution

A parallelogram is a quadrilateral with two sets of parallel sides. Opposite sides (a = c, b = d) and angles (red = red, blue = blue) are equal. The area of a parallelogram is base x height and the perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all sides (a + b + c + d).


4

When two lines intersect, adjacent angles are __________ (they add up to 180°) and angles across from either other are __________ (they're equal).

60% Answer Correctly

vertical, supplementary

acute, obtuse

supplementary, vertical

obtuse, acute


Solution

Angles around a line add up to 180°. Angles around a point add up to 360°. When two lines intersect, adjacent angles are supplementary (they add up to 180°) and angles across from either other are vertical (they're equal).


5

If a = c = 8, b = d = 1, and the blue angle = 65°, what is the area of this parallelogram?

65% Answer Correctly
12
30
4
8

Solution

The area of a parallelogram is equal to its length x width:

a = l x w
a = a x b
a = 8 x 1
a = 8
