1

If a = 4, b = 2, c = 5, and d = 4, what is the perimeter of this quadrilateral?

88% Answer Correctly
16
17
15
14

Solution

Perimeter is equal to the sum of the four sides:

p = a + b + c + d
p = 4 + 2 + 5 + 4
p = 15


2

Simplify 2a x 8b.

85% Answer Correctly
16\( \frac{b}{a} \)
10ab
16\( \frac{a}{b} \)
16ab

Solution

To multiply monomials, multiply the coefficients (the numbers that come before the variables) of each term, add the exponents of like variables, and multiply the different variables together.

2a x 8b = (2 x 8) (a x b) = 16ab


3

If the length of AB equals the length of BD, point B __________ this line segment.

45% Answer Correctly

midpoints

intersects

bisects

trisects


Solution

A line segment is a portion of a line with a measurable length. The midpoint of a line segment is the point exactly halfway between the endpoints. The midpoint bisects (cuts in half) the line segment.


4

If a = c = 3, b = d = 2, what is the area of this rectangle?

79% Answer Correctly
8
35
25
6

Solution

The area of a rectangle is equal to its length x width:

a = l x w
a = a x b
a = 3 x 2
a = 6


5

Which of the following statements about a triangle is not true?

57% Answer Correctly

perimeter = sum of side lengths

exterior angle = sum of two adjacent interior angles

sum of interior angles = 180°

area = ½bh


Solution

A triangle is a three-sided polygon. It has three interior angles that add up to 180° (a + b + c = 180°). An exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the two interior angles that are opposite (d = b + c). The perimeter of a triangle is equal to the sum of the lengths of its three sides, the height of a triangle is equal to the length from the base to the opposite vertex (angle) and the area equals one-half triangle base x height: a = ½ base x height.
