1

Breaking apart a quadratic expression into a pair of binomials is called:

74% Answer Correctly

normalizing

squaring

factoring

deconstructing


Solution

To factor a quadratic expression, apply the FOIL (First, Outside, Inside, Last) method in reverse.


2

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

74% Answer Correctly

acute, obtuse, right

acute, right, obtuse

right, acute, obtuse

right, obtuse, acute


Solution

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


3

A quadrilateral is a shape with __________ sides.

90% Answer Correctly

3

4

5

2


Solution

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


4

Which of the following statements about a triangle is not true?

57% Answer Correctly

area = ½bh

sum of interior angles = 180°

perimeter = sum of side lengths

exterior angle = sum of two adjacent interior angles


Solution

A triangle is a three-sided polygon. It has three interior angles that add up to 180° (a + b + c = 180°). An exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the two interior angles that are opposite (d = b + c). The perimeter of a triangle is equal to the sum of the lengths of its three sides, the height of a triangle is equal to the length from the base to the opposite vertex (angle) and the area equals one-half triangle base x height: a = ½ base x height.


5

If side a = 9, side b = 4, what is the length of the hypotenuse of this right triangle?

63% Answer Correctly
\( \sqrt{97} \)
\( \sqrt{53} \)
\( \sqrt{65} \)
\( \sqrt{37} \)

Solution

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

c2 = a2 + b2
c2 = 92 + 42
c2 = 81 + 16
c2 = 97
c = \( \sqrt{97} \)
