1

If side x = 5cm, side y = 12cm, and side z = 10cm what is the perimeter of this triangle?

85% Answer Correctly
27cm
34cm
38cm
33cm

Solution

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

p = x + y + z
p = 5cm + 12cm + 10cm = 27cm


2

The dimensions of this trapezoid are a = 4, b = 2, c = 5, d = 7, and h = 2. What is the area?

51% Answer Correctly
17\(\frac{1}{2}\)
12
9
45

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 + 7)(2)
a = ½(9)(2)
a = ½(18) = \( \frac{18}{2} \)
a = 9


3

For this diagram, the Pythagorean theorem states that b2 = ?

47% Answer Correctly

c2 + a2

a2 - c2

c2 - a2

c - a


Solution

The Pythagorean theorem defines the relationship between the side lengths of a right triangle. The length of the hypotenuse squared (c2) is equal to the sum of the two perpendicular sides squared (a2 + b2): c2 = a2 + b2 or, solved for c, \(c = \sqrt{a + b}\)


4

On this circle, line segment CD is the:

46% Answer Correctly

diameter

radius

chord

circumference


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

Simplify (2a)(6ab) - (3a2)(7b).

62% Answer Correctly
-9a2b
33ab2
80a2b
9ab2

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.

(2a)(6ab) - (3a2)(7b)
(2 x 6)(a x a x b) - (3 x 7)(a2 x b)
(12)(a1+1 x b) - (21)(a2b)
12a2b - 21a2b
-9a2b
