1

Which types of triangles will always have at least two sides of equal length?

53% Answer Correctly

isosceles and right

equilateral and right

equilateral and isosceles

equilateral, isosceles and right


Solution

An isosceles triangle has two sides of equal length. An equilateral triangle has three sides of equal length. In a right triangle, two sides meet at a right angle.


2

Simplify 7a x 7b.

85% Answer Correctly
49\( \frac{a}{b} \)
49ab
14ab
49a2b2

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.

7a x 7b = (7 x 7) (a x b) = 49ab


3

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

47% Answer Correctly

c - a

c2 + a2

a2 - c2

c2 - a2


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

If a = 1, b = 9, c = 4, and d = 1, what is the perimeter of this quadrilateral?

88% Answer Correctly
19
24
15
22

Solution

Perimeter is equal to the sum of the four sides:

p = a + b + c + d
p = 1 + 9 + 4 + 1
p = 15


5

Which of the following is not required to define the slope-intercept equation for a line?

41% Answer Correctly

x-intercept

y-intercept

slope

\({\Delta y \over \Delta x}\)


Solution

A line on the coordinate grid can be defined by a slope-intercept equation: y = mx + b. For a given value of x, the value of y can be determined given the slope (m) and y-intercept (b) of the line. The slope of a line is change in y over change in x, \({\Delta y \over \Delta x}\), and the y-intercept is the y-coordinate where the line crosses the vertical y-axis.
