1

A quadrilateral is a shape with __________ sides.

91% Answer Correctly

5

2

4

3


Solution

A quadrilateral is a shape with four sides. The perimeter of a quadrilateral is the sum of the lengths of its four sides.


2

If side a = 7, side b = 2, what is the length of the hypotenuse of this right triangle?

64% Answer Correctly
\( \sqrt{106} \)
\( \sqrt{52} \)
\( \sqrt{85} \)
\( \sqrt{53} \)

Solution

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

c2 = a2 + b2
c2 = 72 + 22
c2 = 49 + 4
c2 = 53
c = \( \sqrt{53} \)


3

The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, -1) and (2, -7). What is the slope of this line?

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

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, -7) so the slope becomes:

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(-7.0) - (-1.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{-6}{4} \)
m = -1\(\frac{1}{2}\)


4

The formula for the area of a circle is which of the following?

77% Answer Correctly

a = π d2

a = π r

a = π r2

a = π d


Solution

The circumference of a circle is the distance around its perimeter and equals π (approx. 3.14159) x diameter: c = π d. The area of a circle is π x (radius)2 : a = π r2.


5

On this circle, a line segment connecting point A to point D is called:

46% Answer Correctly

chord

radius

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).
