1

A trapezoid is a quadrilateral with one set of __________ sides.

71% Answer Correctly

parallel

equal angle

equal length

right angle


Solution

A trapezoid is a quadrilateral with one set of parallel sides.


2

When two lines intersect, adjacent angles are __________ (they add up to 180°) and angles across from either other are __________ (they're equal).

61% Answer Correctly

acute, obtuse

vertical, supplementary

obtuse, acute

supplementary, vertical


Solution

Angles around a line add up to 180°. Angles around a point add up to 360°. When two lines intersect, adjacent angles are supplementary (they add up to 180°) and angles across from either other are vertical (they're equal).


3

If the base of this triangle is 8 and the height is 5, what is the area?

59% Answer Correctly
39
20
45
33

Solution

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

a = ½bh
a = ½ x 8 x 5 = \( \frac{40}{2} \) = 20


4

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

24% Answer Correctly

c = π r2

c = π r

c = π d2

c = π d


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.


5

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

42% Answer Correctly

y-intercept

slope

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

x-intercept


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.
