1

The dimensions of this trapezoid are a = 5, b = 2, c = 6, d = 3, and h = 4. What is the area?

51% Answer Correctly
10
27\(\frac{1}{2}\)
11
22

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)(4)
a = ½(5)(4)
a = ½(20) = \( \frac{20}{2} \)
a = 10


2

Which of the following expressions contains exactly two terms?

82% Answer Correctly

polynomial

binomial

quadratic

monomial


Solution

A monomial contains one term, a binomial contains two terms, and a polynomial contains more than two terms.


3

If angle a = 63° and angle b = 60° what is the length of angle c?

71% Answer Correctly
62°
103°
92°
57°

Solution

The sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°:
180° = a° + b° + c°
c° = 180° - a° - b°
c° = 180° - 63° - 60° = 57°


4

If side a = 2, side b = 3, what is the length of the hypotenuse of this right triangle?

64% Answer Correctly
\( \sqrt{13} \)
\( \sqrt{106} \)
\( \sqrt{97} \)
\( \sqrt{90} \)

Solution

According to the Pythagorean theorem, the hypotenuse squared is equal to the sum of the two perpendicular sides squared:

c2 = a2 + b2
c2 = 22 + 32
c2 = 4 + 9
c2 = 13
c = \( \sqrt{13} \)


5

Breaking apart a quadratic expression into a pair of binomials is called:

74% Answer Correctly

normalizing

squaring

deconstructing

factoring


Solution

To factor a quadratic expression, apply the FOIL (First, Outside, Inside, Last) method in reverse.
