1

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

55% Answer Correctly

equilateral and isosceles

isosceles and right

equilateral and right

equilateral, isosceles 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

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

58% Answer Correctly

perimeter = sum of side lengths

area = ½bh

sum of interior angles = 180°

exterior angle = sum of two adjacent interior angles


Solution

A triangle is a three-sided polygon. It has three interior angles that add up to 180° (a + b + c = 180°). An exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the two interior angles that are opposite (d = b + c). The perimeter of a triangle is equal to the sum of the lengths of its three sides, the height of a triangle is equal to the length from the base to the opposite vertex (angle) and the area equals one-half triangle base x height: a = ½ base x height.


3

Order the following types of angle from least number of degrees to most number of degrees.

76% Answer Correctly

right, obtuse, acute

right, acute, obtuse

acute, obtuse, right

acute, right, obtuse


Solution

An acute angle measures less than 90°, a right angle measures 90°, and an obtuse angle measures more than 90°.


4

If a = c = 1, b = d = 8, and the blue angle = 57°, what is the area of this parallelogram?

66% Answer Correctly
4
8
63
5

Solution

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

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


5

Simplify 5a x 5b.

86% Answer Correctly
10ab
25a2b2
25ab
25\( \frac{b}{a} \)

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.

5a x 5b = (5 x 5) (a x b) = 25ab
