1

The dimensions of this trapezoid are a = 5, b = 8, c = 6, d = 4, and h = 3. What is the area?

50% Answer Correctly
20
30
18
11

Solution

The area of a trapezoid is one-half the sum of the lengths of the parallel sides multiplied by the height:

a = ½(b + d)(h)
a = ½(8 + 4)(3)
a = ½(12)(3)
a = ½(36) = \( \frac{36}{2} \)
a = 18


2

A coordinate grid is composed of which of the following?

88% Answer Correctly

x-axis

y-axis

origin

all of these


Solution

The coordinate grid is composed of a horizontal x-axis and a vertical y-axis. The center of the grid, where the x-axis and y-axis meet, is called the origin.


3

Order the following types of angle from least number of degrees to most number of degrees.

74% Answer Correctly

right, acute, obtuse

acute, right, obtuse

acute, obtuse, right

right, obtuse, acute


Solution

An acute angle measures less than 90°, a right angle measures 90°, and an obtuse angle measures more than 90°.


4

If side a = 9, side b = 9, what is the length of the hypotenuse of this right triangle?

63% Answer Correctly
\( \sqrt{18} \)
\( \sqrt{162} \)
\( \sqrt{20} \)
\( \sqrt{90} \)

Solution

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

c2 = a2 + b2
c2 = 92 + 92
c2 = 81 + 81
c2 = 162
c = \( \sqrt{162} \)


5

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

47% Answer Correctly

c2 + a2

c - a

c2 - a2

a2 - c2


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, \(c = \sqrt{a + b}\)
