1

A trapezoid is a quadrilateral with one set of __________ sides.

70% Answer Correctly

equal length

right angle

equal angle

parallel


Solution

A trapezoid is a quadrilateral with one set of parallel sides.


2

A(n) __________ is to a parallelogram as a square is to a rectangle.

52% Answer Correctly

quadrilateral

trapezoid

rhombus

triangle


Solution

A rhombus is a parallelogram with four equal-length sides. A square is a rectangle with four equal-length sides.


3

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

46% Answer Correctly

trisects

bisects

intersects

midpoints


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.


4

Solve for y:
-4y - 8 = 5 + 2y

59% Answer Correctly
-\(\frac{5}{8}\)
-2\(\frac{1}{6}\)
\(\frac{2}{7}\)
-1\(\frac{2}{5}\)

Solution

To solve this equation, repeatedly do the same thing to both sides of the equation until the variable is isolated on one side of the equal sign and the answer on the other.

-4y - 8 = 5 + 2y
-4y = 5 + 2y + 8
-4y - 2y = 5 + 8
-6y = 13
y = \( \frac{13}{-6} \)
y = -2\(\frac{1}{6}\)


5

Solve for b:
b2 - 15b + 25 = -4b - 3

48% Answer Correctly
1 or -2
-1 or -2
9 or -3
4 or 7

Solution

The first step to solve a quadratic expression that's not set to zero is to solve the equation so that it is set to zero:

b2 - 15b + 25 = -4b - 3
b2 - 15b + 25 + 3 = -4b
b2 - 15b + 4b + 28 = 0
b2 - 11b + 28 = 0

Next, factor the quadratic equation:

b2 - 11b + 28 = 0
(b - 4)(b - 7) = 0

For this expression to be true, the left side of the expression must equal zero. Therefore, either (b - 4) or (b - 7) must equal zero:

If (b - 4) = 0, b must equal 4
If (b - 7) = 0, b must equal 7

So the solution is that b = 4 or 7
