1

A quadrilateral is a shape with __________ sides.

91% Answer Correctly

4

2

5

3


Solution

A quadrilateral is a shape with four sides. The perimeter of a quadrilateral is the sum of the lengths of its four sides.


2

On this circle, line segment AB is the:

71% Answer Correctly

chord

diameter

radius

circumference


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).


3

If side x = 14cm, side y = 15cm, and side z = 13cm what is the perimeter of this triangle?

85% Answer Correctly
43cm
42cm
20cm
22cm

Solution

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

p = x + y + z
p = 14cm + 15cm + 13cm = 42cm


4

Solve for b:
b2 + 10b - 39 = 5b - 3

49% Answer Correctly
8 or -3
4 or -9
9 or 2
7 or -9

Solution

The first step to solve a quadratic expression that's not set to zero is to solve the equation so that it is set to zero:

b2 + 10b - 39 = 5b - 3
b2 + 10b - 39 + 3 = 5b
b2 + 10b - 5b - 36 = 0
b2 + 5b - 36 = 0

Next, factor the quadratic equation:

b2 + 5b - 36 = 0
(b - 4)(b + 9) = 0

For this expression to be true, the left side of the expression must equal zero. Therefore, either (b - 4) or (b + 9) must equal zero:

If (b - 4) = 0, b must equal 4
If (b + 9) = 0, b must equal -9

So the solution is that b = 4 or -9


5

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

46% Answer Correctly

radius

circumference

chord

diameter


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).
