1

A coordinate grid is composed of which of the following?

92% Answer Correctly

y-axis

x-axis

all of these

origin


Solution

The coordinate grid is composed of a horizontal x-axis and a vertical y-axis. The center of the grid, where the x-axis and y-axis meet, is called the origin.


2

Solve for b:
3b + 4 < \( \frac{b}{1} \)

45% Answer Correctly
b < 13\(\frac{1}{2}\)
b < -\(\frac{4}{29}\)
b < -2
b < -1\(\frac{3}{17}\)

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.

3b + 4 < \( \frac{b}{1} \)
1 x (3b + 4) < b
(1 x 3b) + (1 x 4) < b
3b + 4 < b
3b + 4 - b < 0
3b - b < -4
2b < -4
b < \( \frac{-4}{2} \)
b < -2


3

If side a = 4, side b = 7, what is the length of the hypotenuse of this right triangle?

64% Answer Correctly
\( \sqrt{65} \)
\( \sqrt{32} \)
\( \sqrt{40} \)
\( \sqrt{73} \)

Solution

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

c2 = a2 + b2
c2 = 42 + 72
c2 = 16 + 49
c2 = 65
c = \( \sqrt{65} \)


4

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

71% Answer Correctly

right angle

equal angle

equal length

parallel


Solution

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


5

Which of the following is not true about both rectangles and squares?

63% Answer Correctly

the perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all four sides

the area is length x width

the lengths of all sides are equal

all interior angles are right angles


Solution

A rectangle is a parallelogram containing four right angles. Opposite sides (a = c, b = d) are equal and the perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all sides (a + b + c + d) or, comonly, 2 x length x width. The area of a rectangle is length x width. A square is a rectangle with four equal length sides. The perimeter of a square is 4 x length of one side (4s) and the area is the length of one side squared (s2).
