1

If side x = 7cm, side y = 15cm, and side z = 13cm what is the perimeter of this triangle?

84% Answer Correctly
35cm
28cm
30cm
16cm

Solution

The perimeter of a triangle is the sum of the lengths of its sides:

p = x + y + z
p = 7cm + 15cm + 13cm = 35cm


2

The dimensions of this trapezoid are a = 6, b = 2, c = 7, d = 2, and h = 4. What is the area?

50% Answer Correctly
8
26
32\(\frac{1}{2}\)
27\(\frac{1}{2}\)

Solution

The area of a trapezoid is one-half the sum of the lengths of the parallel sides multiplied by the height:

a = ½(b + d)(h)
a = ½(2 + 2)(4)
a = ½(4)(4)
a = ½(16) = \( \frac{16}{2} \)
a = 8


3

When two lines intersect, adjacent angles are __________ (they add up to 180°) and angles across from either other are __________ (they're equal).

60% Answer Correctly

obtuse, acute

supplementary, vertical

vertical, supplementary

acute, obtuse


Solution

Angles around a line add up to 180°. Angles around a point add up to 360°. When two lines intersect, adjacent angles are supplementary (they add up to 180°) and angles across from either other are vertical (they're equal).


4

Factor y2 - 5y - 6

54% Answer Correctly
(y - 6)(y - 1)
(y + 6)(y + 1)
(y + 6)(y - 1)
(y - 6)(y + 1)

Solution

To factor a quadratic expression, apply the FOIL method (First, Outside, Inside, Last) in reverse. First, find the two Last terms that will multiply to produce -6 as well and sum (Inside, Outside) to equal -5. For this problem, those two numbers are -6 and 1. Then, plug these into a set of binomials using the square root of the First variable (y2):

y2 - 5y - 6
y2 + (-6 + 1)y + (-6 x 1)
(y - 6)(y + 1)


5

What is 6a + 9a?

81% Answer Correctly
-3
a2
-3a2
15a

Solution

To combine like terms, add or subtract the coefficients (the numbers that come before the variables) of terms that have the same variable raised to the same exponent.

6a + 9a = 15a
