1

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

50% Answer Correctly
16\(\frac{1}{2}\)
8
12
27\(\frac{1}{2}\)

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 + 6)(3)
a = ½(11)(3)
a = ½(33) = \( \frac{33}{2} \)
a = 16\(\frac{1}{2}\)


2

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

45% Answer Correctly

trisects

midpoints

intersects

bisects


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

Solve for x:
-3x + 7 < -1 - 2x

54% Answer Correctly
x < 8
x < 1
x < -4
x < 4

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 < sign and the answer on the other.

-3x + 7 < -1 - 2x
-3x < -1 - 2x - 7
-3x + 2x < -1 - 7
-x < -8
x < \( \frac{-8}{-1} \)
x < 8


4

If a = c = 8, b = d = 6, and the blue angle = 73°, what is the area of this parallelogram?

65% Answer Correctly
64
15
40
48

Solution

The area of a parallelogram is equal to its length x width:

a = l x w
a = a x b
a = 8 x 6
a = 48


5

If side a = 8, side b = 9, what is the length of the hypotenuse of this right triangle?

63% Answer Correctly
\( \sqrt{73} \)
\( \sqrt{40} \)
\( \sqrt{145} \)
\( \sqrt{106} \)

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 + 92
c2 = 64 + 81
c2 = 145
c = \( \sqrt{145} \)
