1

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

54% Answer Correctly

equilateral, isosceles and right

isosceles and right

equilateral and isosceles

equilateral 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.


2

Solve for b:
-2b - 7 < 7 + 8b

55% Answer Correctly
b < 1
b < -4
b < \(\frac{2}{3}\)
b < -1\(\frac{2}{5}\)

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.

-2b - 7 < 7 + 8b
-2b < 7 + 8b + 7
-2b - 8b < 7 + 7
-10b < 14
b < \( \frac{14}{-10} \)
b < -1\(\frac{2}{5}\)


3

If BD = 23 and AD = 30, AB = ?

76% Answer Correctly
6
7
18
16

Solution

The entire length of this line is represented by AD which is AB + BD:

AD = AB + BD

Solving for AB:

AB = AD - BD
AB = 30 - 23
AB = 7


4

Simplify 3a x 9b.

86% Answer Correctly
27ab
27a2b2
12ab
27\( \frac{a}{b} \)

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.

3a x 9b = (3 x 9) (a x b) = 27ab


5

On this circle, line segment CD is the:

46% Answer Correctly

circumference

diameter

radius

chord


Solution

A circle is a figure in which each point around its perimeter is an equal distance from the center. The radius of a circle is the distance between the center and any point along its perimeter. A chord is a line segment that connects any two points along its perimeter. The diameter of a circle is the length of a chord that passes through the center of the circle and equals twice the circle's radius (2r).
