1

The dimensions of this trapezoid are a = 5, b = 8, c = 6, d = 3, and h = 4. What is the area?

51% Answer Correctly
16
22\(\frac{1}{2}\)
22
10

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(8 + 3)(4)
a = ½(11)(4)
a = ½(44) = \( \frac{44}{2} \)
a = 22


2

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

54% Answer Correctly

equilateral, isosceles and right

isosceles and right

equilateral and right

equilateral and isosceles


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.


3

The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, 3) and (2, -1). What is the slope-intercept equation for this line?

41% Answer Correctly
y = -x + 1
y = x - 1
y = 2\(\frac{1}{2}\)x + 0
y = x + 3

Solution

The slope-intercept equation for a line is y = mx + b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept of the line. From the graph, you can see that the y-intercept (the y-value from the point where the line crosses the y-axis) is 1. The slope of this line is the change in y divided by the change in x. The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, 3) and (2, -1) so the slope becomes:

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(-1.0) - (3.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{-4}{4} \)
m = -1

Plugging these values into the slope-intercept equation:

y = -x + 1


4

What is the area of a circle with a radius of 2?

69% Answer Correctly
36π

Solution

The formula for area is πr2:

a = πr2
a = π(22)
a = 4π


5

What is 7a7 + 6a7?

75% Answer Correctly
42a7
13a7
42a14
1

Solution

To combine like terms, add or subtract the coefficients (the numbers that come before the variables) of terms that have the same variable raised to the same exponent.

7a7 + 6a7 = 13a7
