1

If the base of this triangle is 8 and the height is 6, what is the area?

58% Answer Correctly
27\(\frac{1}{2}\)
36
31\(\frac{1}{2}\)
24

Solution

The area of a triangle is equal to ½ base x height:

a = ½bh
a = ½ x 8 x 6 = \( \frac{48}{2} \) = 24


2

What is 4a2 + 5a2?

74% Answer Correctly
9a2
-a4
20a4
9

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.

4a2 + 5a2 = 9a2


3

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

46% Answer Correctly

radius

circumference

diameter

chord


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).


4

The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, 5) and (2, -5). What is the slope-intercept equation for this line?

41% Answer Correctly
y = 2\(\frac{1}{2}\)x - 1
y = \(\frac{1}{2}\)x - 3
y = 2\(\frac{1}{2}\)x - 4
y = -2\(\frac{1}{2}\)x + 0

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 0. 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, 5) and (2, -5) so the slope becomes:

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(-5.0) - (5.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{-10}{4} \)
m = -2\(\frac{1}{2}\)

Plugging these values into the slope-intercept equation:

y = -2\(\frac{1}{2}\)x + 0


5

If angle a = 48° and angle b = 28° what is the length of angle d?

56% Answer Correctly
157°
126°
138°
132°

Solution

An exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the two interior angles that are opposite:

d° = b° + c°

To find angle c, remember that the sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°:

180° = a° + b° + c°
c° = 180° - a° - b°
c° = 180° - 48° - 28° = 104°

So, d° = 28° + 104° = 132°

A shortcut to get this answer is to remember that angles around a line add up to 180°:

a° + d° = 180°
d° = 180° - a°
d° = 180° - 48° = 132°
