1

If the base of this triangle is 9 and the height is 5, what is the area?

58% Answer Correctly
22\(\frac{1}{2}\)
45
63
60

Solution

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

a = ½bh
a = ½ x 9 x 5 = \( \frac{45}{2} \) = 22\(\frac{1}{2}\)


2

If angle a = 61° and angle b = 37° what is the length of angle c?

71% Answer Correctly
74°
133°
83°
82°

Solution

The sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°:
180° = a° + b° + c°
c° = 180° - a° - b°
c° = 180° - 61° - 37° = 82°


3

Which of the following expressions contains exactly two terms?

82% Answer Correctly

monomial

polynomial

binomial

quadratic


Solution

A monomial contains one term, a binomial contains two terms, and a polynomial contains more than two terms.


4

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

2lw x 2wh + 2lh

h x l x w

lw x wh + lh

h2 x l2 x w2


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.


5

If side a = 8, side b = 6, what is the length of the hypotenuse of this right triangle?

64% Answer Correctly
\( \sqrt{40} \)
10
\( \sqrt{65} \)
\( \sqrt{90} \)

Solution

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

c2 = a2 + b2
c2 = 82 + 62
c2 = 64 + 36
c2 = 100
c = \( \sqrt{100} \)
c = 10
