1

If the base of this triangle is 2 and the height is 7, what is the area?

59% Answer Correctly
45
45\(\frac{1}{2}\)
50
7

Solution

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

a = ½bh
a = ½ x 2 x 7 = \( \frac{14}{2} \) = 7


2

Simplify (y - 9)(y + 1)

64% Answer Correctly
y2 + 10y + 9
y2 - 10y + 9
y2 - 8y - 9
y2 + 8y - 9

Solution

To multiply binomials, use the FOIL method. FOIL stands for First, Outside, Inside, Last and refers to the position of each term in the parentheses:

(y - 9)(y + 1)
(y x y) + (y x 1) + (-9 x y) + (-9 x 1)
y2 + y - 9y - 9
y2 - 8y - 9


3

Order the following types of angle from least number of degrees to most number of degrees.

75% Answer Correctly

right, acute, obtuse

right, obtuse, acute

acute, right, obtuse

acute, obtuse, right


Solution

An acute angle measures less than 90°, a right angle measures 90°, and an obtuse angle measures more than 90°.


4

The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 1 and radius (r) = 3. What is the surface area?

48% Answer Correctly
110π
24π
96π
40π

Solution

The surface area of a cylinder is 2πr2 + 2πrh:

sa = 2πr2 + 2πrh
sa = 2π(32) + 2π(3 x 1)
sa = 2π(9) + 2π(3)
sa = (2 x 9)π + (2 x 3)π
sa = 18π + 6π
sa = 24π


5

If the length of AB equals the length of BD, point B __________ this line segment.

46% Answer Correctly

bisects

trisects

intersects

midpoints


Solution

A line segment is a portion of a line with a measurable length. The midpoint of a line segment is the point exactly halfway between the endpoints. The midpoint bisects (cuts in half) the line segment.
