1

A quadrilateral is a shape with __________ sides.

91% Answer Correctly

4

5

3

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.


2

When two lines intersect, adjacent angles are __________ (they add up to 180°) and angles across from either other are __________ (they're equal).

61% Answer Correctly

obtuse, acute

vertical, supplementary

supplementary, vertical

acute, obtuse


Solution

Angles around a line add up to 180°. Angles around a point add up to 360°. When two lines intersect, adjacent angles are supplementary (they add up to 180°) and angles across from either other are vertical (they're equal).


3

The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, -1) and (2, -7). What is the slope of this line?

46% Answer Correctly
2\(\frac{1}{2}\)
-1\(\frac{1}{2}\)
3
1

Solution

The slope of this line is the change in y divided by the change in x. The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, -1) and (2, -7) so the slope becomes:

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(-7.0) - (-1.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{-6}{4} \)
m = -1\(\frac{1}{2}\)


4

If side a = 8, side b = 3, what is the length of the hypotenuse of this right triangle?

64% Answer Correctly
\( \sqrt{90} \)
\( \sqrt{61} \)
\( \sqrt{73} \)
\( \sqrt{113} \)

Solution

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

c2 = a2 + b2
c2 = 82 + 32
c2 = 64 + 9
c2 = 73
c = \( \sqrt{73} \)


5

If BD = 6 and AD = 15, AB = ?

76% Answer Correctly
10
19
9
2

Solution

The entire length of this line is represented by AD which is AB + BD:

AD = AB + BD

Solving for AB:

AB = AD - BD
AB = 15 - 6
AB = 9
