1

A trapezoid is a quadrilateral with one set of __________ sides.

70% Answer Correctly

equal length

parallel

right angle

equal angle


Solution

A trapezoid is a quadrilateral with one set of parallel sides.


2

The formula for the area of a circle is which of the following?

24% Answer Correctly

c = π r

c = π d

c = π r2

c = π d2


Solution

The circumference of a circle is the distance around its perimeter and equals π (approx. 3.14159) x diameter: c = π d. The area of a circle is π x (radius)2 : a = π r2.


3

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

64% Answer Correctly
\( \sqrt{52} \)
\( \sqrt{18} \)
\( \sqrt{65} \)
\( \sqrt{128} \)

Solution

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

c2 = a2 + b2
c2 = 32 + 32
c2 = 9 + 9
c2 = 18
c = \( \sqrt{18} \)


4

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

75% Answer Correctly

right, acute, obtuse

acute, right, obtuse

right, obtuse, acute

acute, obtuse, right


Solution

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


5

Find the value of b:
-8b + x = -6
-7b - 7x = 6

42% Answer Correctly
-3\(\frac{1}{4}\)
\(\frac{4}{7}\)
-1
\(\frac{17}{31}\)

Solution

You need to find the value of b so solve the first equation in terms of x:

-8b + x = -6
x = -6 + 8b

then substitute the result (-6 - -8b) into the second equation:

-7b - 7(-6 + 8b) = 6
-7b + (-7 x -6) + (-7 x 8b) = 6
-7b + 42 - 56b = 6
-7b - 56b = 6 - 42
-63b = -36
b = \( \frac{-36}{-63} \)
b = \(\frac{4}{7}\)
