1

The dimensions of this trapezoid are a = 6, b = 6, c = 9, d = 4, and h = 4. What is the area?

51% Answer Correctly
30
20
24
9

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(6 + 4)(4)
a = ½(10)(4)
a = ½(40) = \( \frac{40}{2} \)
a = 20


2

If c = -9 and y = -9, what is the value of -3c(c - y)?

68% Answer Correctly
0
-200
24
-168

Solution

To solve this equation, replace the variables with the values given and then solve the now variable-free equation. (Remember order of operations, PEMDAS, Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication/Division, Addition/Subtraction.)

-3c(c - y)
-3(-9)(-9 + 9)
-3(-9)(0)
(27)(0)
0


3

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

75% Answer Correctly

right, acute, obtuse

acute, obtuse, right

acute, right, obtuse

right, obtuse, acute


Solution

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


4

Solve for b:
-9b - 3 < 5 + 5b

55% Answer Correctly
b < -1
b < -\(\frac{1}{2}\)
b < \(\frac{8}{9}\)
b < -\(\frac{4}{7}\)

Solution

To solve this equation, repeatedly do the same thing to both sides of the equation until the variable is isolated on one side of the < sign and the answer on the other.

-9b - 3 < 5 + 5b
-9b < 5 + 5b + 3
-9b - 5b < 5 + 3
-14b < 8
b < \( \frac{8}{-14} \)
b < -\(\frac{4}{7}\)


5

If side a = 9, side b = 5, what is the length of the hypotenuse of this right triangle?

64% Answer Correctly
\( \sqrt{106} \)
\( \sqrt{18} \)
\( \sqrt{20} \)
\( \sqrt{58} \)

Solution

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

c2 = a2 + b2
c2 = 92 + 52
c2 = 81 + 25
c2 = 106
c = \( \sqrt{106} \)
