1

If a = 1, b = 8, c = 6, and d = 2, what is the perimeter of this quadrilateral?

88% Answer Correctly
26
21
15
17

Solution

Perimeter is equal to the sum of the four sides:

p = a + b + c + d
p = 1 + 8 + 6 + 2
p = 17


2

A right angle measures:

90% Answer Correctly

90°

360°

180°

45°


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.


3

The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, -4) and (2, -2). What is the slope-intercept equation for this line?

41% Answer Correctly
y = \(\frac{1}{2}\)x - 3
y = -3x + 0
y = -2\(\frac{1}{2}\)x - 1
y = \(\frac{1}{2}\)x - 4

Solution

The slope-intercept equation for a line is y = mx + b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept of the line. From the graph, you can see that the y-intercept (the y-value from the point where the line crosses the y-axis) is -3. 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, -4) and (2, -2) so the slope becomes:

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(-2.0) - (-4.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{2}{4} \)
m = \(\frac{1}{2}\)

Plugging these values into the slope-intercept equation:

y = \(\frac{1}{2}\)x - 3


4

On this circle, line segment AB is the:

70% Answer Correctly

radius

chord

circumference

diameter


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).


5

The formula for volume of a cube in terms of height (h), length (l), and width (w) is which of the following?

67% Answer Correctly

h x l x w

lw x wh + lh

h2 x l2 x w2

2lw x 2wh + 2lh


Solution

A cube is a rectangular solid box with a height (h), length (l), and width (w). The volume is h x l x w and the surface area is 2lw x 2wh + 2lh.
