1

A right angle measures:

91% Answer Correctly

45°

360°

90°

180°


Solution

A right angle measures 90 degrees and is the intersection of two perpendicular lines. In diagrams, a right angle is indicated by a small box completing a square with the perpendicular lines.


2

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


3

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

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

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, -1) so the slope becomes:

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(-1.0) - (1.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{-2}{4} \)
m = -\(\frac{1}{2}\)


4

Simplify (5a)(6ab) + (6a2)(2b).

65% Answer Correctly
88a2b
42a2b
18a2b
42ab2

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.

(5a)(6ab) + (6a2)(2b)
(5 x 6)(a x a x b) + (6 x 2)(a2 x b)
(30)(a1+1 x b) + (12)(a2b)
30a2b + 12a2b
42a2b


5

If a = 3, b = 9, c = 6, and d = 8, what is the perimeter of this quadrilateral?

88% Answer Correctly
18
26
21
22

Solution

Perimeter is equal to the sum of the four sides:

p = a + b + c + d
p = 3 + 9 + 6 + 8
p = 26
