1

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

54% Answer Correctly

equilateral and isosceles

equilateral and right

isosceles 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

Solve for y:
-8y - 1 = \( \frac{y}{-9} \)

46% Answer Correctly
-\(\frac{5}{13}\)
9
-\(\frac{9}{71}\)
-4\(\frac{1}{6}\)

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 equal sign and the answer on the other.

-8y - 1 = \( \frac{y}{-9} \)
-9 x (-8y - 1) = y
(-9 x -8y) + (-9 x -1) = y
72y + 9 = y
72y + 9 - y = 0
72y - y = -9
71y = -9
y = \( \frac{-9}{71} \)
y = -\(\frac{9}{71}\)


3

The formula for the area of a circle is which of the following?

24% Answer Correctly

c = π r2

c = π d

c = π r

c = π d2


Solution

The circumference of a circle is the distance around its perimeter and equals π (approx. 3.14159) x diameter: c = π d. The area of a circle is π x (radius)2 : a = π r2.


4

If the base of this triangle is 6 and the height is 1, what is the area?

58% Answer Correctly
54
3
78
60

Solution

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

a = ½bh
a = ½ x 6 x 1 = \( \frac{6}{2} \) = 3


5

What is the circumference of a circle with a radius of 11?

71% Answer Correctly
22π
34π
26π

Solution

The formula for circumference is circle diameter x π. Circle diameter is 2 x radius:

c = πd
c = π(2 * r)
c = π(2 * 11)
c = 22π
