parallel

equal length

equal angle


Solution

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


2

Solve 7c - c = -8c - z + 4 for c in terms of z.

34% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{2}{11}\)z - \(\frac{5}{11}\)
\(\frac{1}{3}\)z - \(\frac{4}{9}\)
-5z - 1\(\frac{1}{3}\)
z + \(\frac{4}{15}\)

Solution

To solve this equation, isolate the variable for which you are solving (c) on one side of the equation and put everything else on the other side.

7c - z = -8c - z + 4
7c = -8c - z + 4 + z
7c + 8c = -z + 4 + z
15c = + 4
c = \( \frac{ + 4}{15} \)
c = \( \frac{}{15} \) + \( \frac{4}{15} \)
c = z + \(\frac{4}{15}\)


3

The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, -1) and (2, 7). What is the slope of this line?

46% Answer Correctly
-3
1\(\frac{1}{2}\)
2
-1

Solution

The slope of this line is the change in y divided by the change in x. The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, -1) and (2, 7) so the slope becomes:

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(7.0) - (-1.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{8}{4} \)
m = 2


4

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

64% Answer Correctly
\( \sqrt{13} \)
\( \sqrt{50} \)
\( \sqrt{52} \)
\( \sqrt{65} \)

Solution

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

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


5

Solve for x:
-7x + 8 = \( \frac{x}{-9} \)

46% Answer Correctly
-1\(\frac{13}{35}\)
1\(\frac{5}{31}\)
-4\(\frac{1}{2}\)
\(\frac{18}{71}\)

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 equal sign and the answer on the other.

-7x + 8 = \( \frac{x}{-9} \)
-9 x (-7x + 8) = x
(-9 x -7x) + (-9 x 8) = x
63x - 72 = x
63x - 72 - x = 0
63x - x = 72
62x = 72
x = \( \frac{72}{62} \)
x = 1\(\frac{5}{31}\)
