1

Solve for c:
c - 1 < -2 - 5c

54% Answer Correctly
c < -1\(\frac{2}{5}\)
c < -\(\frac{1}{6}\)
c < 1\(\frac{3}{5}\)
c < -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.

c - 1 < -2 - 5c
c < -2 - 5c + 1
c + 5c < -2 + 1
6c < -1
c < \( \frac{-1}{6} \)
c < -\(\frac{1}{6}\)


2

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

45% Answer Correctly

intersects

midpoints

trisects

bisects


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.


3

If side a = 5, side b = 4, what is the length of the hypotenuse of this right triangle?

63% Answer Correctly
\( \sqrt{98} \)
\( \sqrt{13} \)
\( \sqrt{41} \)
\( \sqrt{65} \)

Solution

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

c2 = a2 + b2
c2 = 52 + 42
c2 = 25 + 16
c2 = 41
c = \( \sqrt{41} \)


4

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

24% Answer Correctly

c = π d

c = π d2

c = π r2

c = π r


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.


5

The dimensions of this trapezoid are a = 5, b = 6, c = 6, d = 4, and h = 3. What is the area?

50% Answer Correctly
15
16\(\frac{1}{2}\)
30
13

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)(3)
a = ½(10)(3)
a = ½(30) = \( \frac{30}{2} \)
a = 15
