1

The dimensions of this trapezoid are a = 4, b = 5, c = 6, d = 3, and h = 2. What is the area?

51% Answer Correctly
14
8
35
22\(\frac{1}{2}\)

Solution

The area of a trapezoid is one-half the sum of the lengths of the parallel sides multiplied by the height:

a = ½(b + d)(h)
a = ½(5 + 3)(2)
a = ½(8)(2)
a = ½(16) = \( \frac{16}{2} \)
a = 8


2

The formula for the area of a circle is which of the following?

24% Answer Correctly

c = π d

c = π d2

c = π r2

c = π r


Solution

The circumference of a circle is the distance around its perimeter and equals π (approx. 3.14159) x diameter: c = π d. The area of a circle is π x (radius)2 : a = π r2.


3

Simplify 5a x 9b.

86% Answer Correctly
45\( \frac{a}{b} \)
14ab
45a2b2
45ab

Solution

To multiply monomials, multiply the coefficients (the numbers that come before the variables) of each term, add the exponents of like variables, and multiply the different variables together.

5a x 9b = (5 x 9) (a x b) = 45ab


4

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

47% Answer Correctly

c2 - a2

c2 + a2

c - a

a2 - c2


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, \(c = \sqrt{a + b}\)


5

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

54% Answer Correctly

equilateral and isosceles

equilateral and right

isosceles and right

equilateral, isosceles and right


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.
