1

A quadrilateral is a shape with __________ sides.

90% Answer Correctly

3

2

4

5


Solution

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


2

If angle a = 21° and angle b = 58° what is the length of angle d?

56% Answer Correctly
147°
128°
159°
160°

Solution

An exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the two interior angles that are opposite:

d° = b° + c°

To find angle c, remember that the sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°:

180° = a° + b° + c°
c° = 180° - a° - b°
c° = 180° - 21° - 58° = 101°

So, d° = 58° + 101° = 159°

A shortcut to get this answer is to remember that angles around a line add up to 180°:

a° + d° = 180°
d° = 180° - a°
d° = 180° - 21° = 159°


3

Which types of triangles will always have at least two sides of equal length?

54% Answer Correctly

equilateral and right

isosceles and right

equilateral and isosceles

equilateral, isosceles and right


Solution

An isosceles triangle has two sides of equal length. An equilateral triangle has three sides of equal length. In a right triangle, two sides meet at a right angle.


4

For this diagram, the Pythagorean theorem states that b2 = ?

47% Answer Correctly

c2 - a2

c - a

a2 - c2

c2 + a2


Solution

The Pythagorean theorem defines the relationship between the side lengths of a right triangle. The length of the hypotenuse squared (c2) is equal to the sum of the two perpendicular sides squared (a2 + b2): c2 = a2 + b2 or, solved for c, \(c = \sqrt{a + b}\)


5

The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 9 and radius (r) = 1. What is the volume?

62% Answer Correctly
32π
576π
75π

Solution

The volume of a cylinder is πr2h:

v = πr2h
v = π(12 x 9)
v = 9π
