1

A quadrilateral is a shape with __________ sides.

90% Answer Correctly

3

4

2

5


Solution

A quadrilateral is a shape with four sides. The perimeter of a quadrilateral is the sum of the lengths of its four sides.


2

If the area of this square is 9, what is the length of one of the diagonals?

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

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 = \( \sqrt{a} \) = \( \sqrt{9} \) = 3

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 = 32 + 32
c2 = 18
c = \( \sqrt{18} \) = \( \sqrt{9 x 2} \) = \( \sqrt{9} \) \( \sqrt{2} \)
c = 3\( \sqrt{2} \)


3

Which of the following is not required to define the slope-intercept equation for a line?

41% Answer Correctly

y-intercept

slope

x-intercept

\({\Delta y \over \Delta x}\)


Solution

A line on the coordinate grid can be defined by a slope-intercept equation: y = mx + b. For a given value of x, the value of y can be determined given the slope (m) and y-intercept (b) of the line. The slope of a line is change in y over change in x, \({\Delta y \over \Delta x}\), and the y-intercept is the y-coordinate where the line crosses the vertical y-axis.


4

If the base of this triangle is 9 and the height is 6, what is the area?

58% Answer Correctly
52\(\frac{1}{2}\)
24\(\frac{1}{2}\)
40
27

Solution

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

a = ½bh
a = ½ x 9 x 6 = \( \frac{54}{2} \) = 27


5

What is the area of a circle with a radius of 4?

69% Answer Correctly
16π

Solution

The formula for area is πr2:

a = πr2
a = π(42)
a = 16π
