1

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

71% Answer Correctly

equal length

parallel

equal angle

right angle


Solution

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


2

Which of the following is not true about both rectangles and squares?

63% Answer Correctly

the perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all four sides

all interior angles are right angles

the lengths of all sides are equal

the area is length x width


Solution

A rectangle is a parallelogram containing four right angles. Opposite sides (a = c, b = d) are equal and the perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all sides (a + b + c + d) or, comonly, 2 x length x width. The area of a rectangle is length x width. A square is a rectangle with four equal length sides. The perimeter of a square is 4 x length of one side (4s) and the area is the length of one side squared (s2).


3

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

42% Answer Correctly

slope

y-intercept

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

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.

Solve for x:
7x - 3 < \( \frac{x}{-2} \)

45% Answer Correctly
x < 2\(\frac{2}{3}\)
x < 1\(\frac{17}{25}\)
x < -1\(\frac{7}{57}\)
x < \(\frac{2}{5}\)

Solution

To solve this equation, repeatedly do the same thing to both sides of the equation until the variable is isolated on one side of the < sign and the answer on the other.

7x - 3 < \( \frac{x}{-2} \)
-2 x (7x - 3) < x
(-2 x 7x) + (-2 x -3) < x
-14x + 6 < x
-14x + 6 - x < 0
-14x - x < -6
-15x < -6
x < \( \frac{-6}{-15} \)
x < \(\frac{2}{5}\)


5

91% Answer Correctly

5

3

4

2


Solution

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