1

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

53% Answer Correctly

isosceles and right

equilateral, 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.


2

What is the circumference of a circle with a diameter of 14?

71% Answer Correctly
14π
24π
12π
18π

Solution

The formula for circumference is circle diameter x π:

c = πd
c = 14π


3

Find the value of a:
-a + z = 4
-8a - 4z = -9

42% Answer Correctly
-\(\frac{1}{6}\)
-\(\frac{7}{12}\)
2\(\frac{1}{4}\)
\(\frac{11}{14}\)

Solution

You need to find the value of a so solve the first equation in terms of z:

-a + z = 4
z = 4 + a

then substitute the result (4 - -1a) into the second equation:

-8a - 4(4 + a) = -9
-8a + (-4 x 4) + (-4 x a) = -9
-8a - 16 - 4a = -9
-8a - 4a = -9 + 16
-12a = 7
a = \( \frac{7}{-12} \)
a = -\(\frac{7}{12}\)


4

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

45% Answer Correctly

trisects

bisects

midpoints

intersects


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.


5

Solve -3c + 7c = -6c - 4z + 8 for c in terms of z.

34% Answer Correctly
-3\(\frac{2}{3}\)z + 2\(\frac{2}{3}\)
11z - 8
-2z + 1
1\(\frac{1}{6}\)z + \(\frac{1}{12}\)

Solution

To solve this equation, isolate the variable for which you are solving (c) on one side of the equation and put everything else on the other side.

-3c + 7z = -6c - 4z + 8
-3c = -6c - 4z + 8 - 7z
-3c + 6c = -4z + 8 - 7z
3c = -11z + 8
c = \( \frac{-11z + 8}{3} \)
c = \( \frac{-11z}{3} \) + \( \frac{8}{3} \)
c = -3\(\frac{2}{3}\)z + 2\(\frac{2}{3}\)
