1

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

46% Answer Correctly

radius

circumference

diameter

chord


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).

The dimensions of this trapezoid are a = 5, b = 2, c = 7, d = 8, and h = 4. What is the area?

51% Answer Correctly
9
20
15
22\(\frac{1}{2}\)

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 + 8)(4)
a = ½(10)(4)
a = ½(40) = \( \frac{40}{2} \)
a = 20


3

If side a = 1, side b = 3, what is the length of the hypotenuse of this right triangle?

64% Answer Correctly
\( \sqrt{20} \)
\( \sqrt{130} \)
\( \sqrt{10} \)
\( \sqrt{85} \)

Solution

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

c2 = a2 + b2
c2 = 12 + 32
c2 = 1 + 9
c2 = 10
c = \( \sqrt{10} \)


4

The dimensions of this cube are height (h) = 6, length (l) = 9, and width (w) = 4. What is the volume?

83% Answer Correctly
12
30
216
54

Solution

The volume of a cube is height x length x width:

v = h x l x w
v = 6 x 9 x 4
v = 216


5

If side x = 15cm, side y = 10cm, and side z = 10cm what is the perimeter of this triangle?

84% Answer Correctly
35cm
28cm
25cm
34cm

Solution

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

p = x + y + z
p = 15cm + 10cm + 10cm = 35cm
