1

For this diagram, the Pythagorean theorem states that b2 = ?

47% Answer Correctly

c - a

a2 - c2

c2 - a2

c2 + a2


Solution

The Pythagorean theorem defines the relationship between the side lengths of a right triangle. The length of the hypotenuse squared (c2) is equal to the sum of the two perpendicular sides squared (a2 + b2): c2 = a2 + b2 or, solved for c, \(c = \sqrt{a + b}\)


2

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

45% Answer Correctly

intersects

midpoints

bisects

trisects


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

Which of the following is not required to define the slope-intercept equation for a line?

42% Answer Correctly

y-intercept

slope

x-intercept

\({\Delta y \over \Delta x}\)


Solution

A line on the coordinate grid can be defined by a slope-intercept equation: y = mx + b. For a given value of x, the value of y can be determined given the slope (m) and y-intercept (b) of the line. The slope of a line is change in y over change in x, \({\Delta y \over \Delta x}\), and the y-intercept is the y-coordinate where the line crosses the vertical y-axis.


4

The dimensions of this cube are height (h) = 3, length (l) = 4, and width (w) = 9. What is the surface area?

51% Answer Correctly
64
82
150
240

Solution

The surface area of a cube is (2 x length x width) + (2 x width x height) + (2 x length x height):

sa = 2lw + 2wh + 2lh
sa = (2 x 4 x 9) + (2 x 9 x 3) + (2 x 4 x 3)
sa = (72) + (54) + (24)
sa = 150


5

A quadrilateral is a shape with __________ sides.

90% Answer Correctly

2

3

5

4


Solution

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