1

If the base of this triangle is 7 and the height is 2, what is the area?

59% Answer Correctly
7
38\(\frac{1}{2}\)
84
82\(\frac{1}{2}\)

Solution

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

a = ½bh
a = ½ x 7 x 2 = \( \frac{14}{2} \) = 7


2

Solve for x:
x2 - x - 56 = 0

58% Answer Correctly
-7 or 8
4 or -5
2 or 1
-3 or -5

Solution

The first step to solve a quadratic equation that's set to zero is to factor the quadratic equation:

x2 - x - 56 = 0
(x + 7)(x - 8) = 0

For this expression to be true, the left side of the expression must equal zero. Therefore, either (x + 7) or (x - 8) must equal zero:

If (x + 7) = 0, x must equal -7
If (x - 8) = 0, x must equal 8

So the solution is that x = -7 or 8


3

The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 1 and radius (r) = 1. What is the volume?

62% Answer Correctly
48π
448π

Solution

The volume of a cylinder is πr2h:

v = πr2h
v = π(12 x 1)
v = 1π


4

The dimensions of this trapezoid are a = 6, b = 3, c = 8, d = 8, and h = 4. What is the area?

51% Answer Correctly
16
22
30
26

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(3 + 8)(4)
a = ½(11)(4)
a = ½(44) = \( \frac{44}{2} \)
a = 22


5

On this circle, line segment AB is the:

71% Answer Correctly

circumference

radius

chord

diameter


Solution

A circle is a figure in which each point around its perimeter is an equal distance from the center. The radius of a circle is the distance between the center and any point along its perimeter. A chord is a line segment that connects any two points along its perimeter. The diameter of a circle is the length of a chord that passes through the center of the circle and equals twice the circle's radius (2r).
