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

If the base of this triangle is 3 and the height is 9, what is the area?

58% Answer Correctly
13\(\frac{1}{2}\)
24
32
52\(\frac{1}{2}\)

Solution

The area of a triangle is equal to ½ base x height:

a = ½bh
a = ½ x 3 x 9 = \( \frac{27}{2} \) = 13\(\frac{1}{2}\)


3

Simplify (5a)(5ab) + (3a2)(5b).

65% Answer Correctly
-10ab2
10a2b
10ab2
40a2b

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)(5ab) + (3a2)(5b)
(5 x 5)(a x a x b) + (3 x 5)(a2 x b)
(25)(a1+1 x b) + (15)(a2b)
25a2b + 15a2b
40a2b


4

The dimensions of this cube are height (h) = 2, length (l) = 4, and width (w) = 2. What is the surface area?

51% Answer Correctly
214
174
82
40

Solution

The surface area of a cube is (2 x length x width) + (2 x width x height) + (2 x length x height):

sa = 2lw + 2wh + 2lh
sa = (2 x 4 x 2) + (2 x 2 x 2) + (2 x 4 x 2)
sa = (16) + (8) + (16)
sa = 40


5

A(n) __________ is to a parallelogram as a square is to a rectangle.

52% Answer Correctly

trapezoid

triangle

quadrilateral

rhombus


Solution

A rhombus is a parallelogram with four equal-length sides. A square is a rectangle with four equal-length sides.
