1

The dimensions of this trapezoid are a = 6, b = 2, c = 8, d = 3, and h = 5. What is the area?

51% Answer Correctly
13\(\frac{1}{2}\)
26
27\(\frac{1}{2}\)
12\(\frac{1}{2}\)

Solution

The area of a trapezoid is one-half the sum of the lengths of the parallel sides multiplied by the height:

a = ½(b + d)(h)
a = ½(2 + 3)(5)
a = ½(5)(5)
a = ½(25) = \( \frac{25}{2} \)
a = 12\(\frac{1}{2}\)


2

If AD = 27 and BD = 17, AB = ?

76% Answer Correctly
7
17
15
10

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 = 27 - 17
AB = 10


3

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

55% Answer Correctly

equilateral, isosceles and right

equilateral and right

isosceles and right

equilateral and isosceles


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.


4

Solve for z:
8z - 9 < \( \frac{z}{-4} \)

45% Answer Correctly
z < 1\(\frac{1}{11}\)
z < -2\(\frac{2}{3}\)
z < \(\frac{72}{73}\)
z < 1

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.

8z - 9 < \( \frac{z}{-4} \)
-4 x (8z - 9) < z
(-4 x 8z) + (-4 x -9) < z
-32z + 36 < z
-32z + 36 - z < 0
-32z - z < -36
-33z < -36
z < \( \frac{-36}{-33} \)
z < 1\(\frac{1}{11}\)


5

Which of the following statements about parallel lines with a transversal is not correct?

36% Answer Correctly

angles in the same position on different parallel lines are called corresponding angles

same-side interior angles are complementary and equal each other

all of the angles formed by a transversal are called interior angles

all acute angles equal each other


Solution

Parallel lines are lines that share the same slope (steepness) and therefore never intersect. A transversal occurs when a set of parallel lines are crossed by another line. All of the angles formed by a transversal are called interior angles and angles in the same position on different parallel lines equal each other (a° = w°, b° = x°, c° = z°, d° = y°) and are called corresponding angles. Alternate interior angles are equal (a° = z°, b° = y°, c° = w°, d° = x°) and all acute angles (a° = c° = w° = z°) and all obtuse angles (b° = d° = x° = y°) equal each other. Same-side interior angles are supplementary and add up to 180° (e.g. a° + d° = 180°, d° + c° = 180°).
