1

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

69% Answer Correctly

parallel

right angle

equal angle

equal length


Solution

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


2

The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, 6) and (2, -2). What is the slope-intercept equation for this line?

41% Answer Correctly
y = -2x + 2
y = -2\(\frac{1}{2}\)x - 1
y = 3x - 4
y = 2\(\frac{1}{2}\)x + 3

Solution

The slope-intercept equation for a line is y = mx + b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept of the line. From the graph, you can see that the y-intercept (the y-value from the point where the line crosses the y-axis) is 2. 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, 6) and (2, -2) so the slope becomes:

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(-2.0) - (6.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{-8}{4} \)
m = -2

Plugging these values into the slope-intercept equation:

y = -2x + 2


3

What is 7a2 + 9a2?

74% Answer Correctly
63a2
16a2
16a4
-2

Solution

To combine like terms, add or subtract the coefficients (the numbers that come before the variables) of terms that have the same variable raised to the same exponent.

7a2 + 9a2 = 16a2


4

On this circle, a line segment connecting point A to point D is called:

46% Answer Correctly

circumference

radius

chord

diameter


Solution

A circle is a figure in which each point around its perimeter is an equal distance from the center. The radius of a circle is the distance between the center and any point along its perimeter. A chord is a line segment that connects any two points along its perimeter. The diameter of a circle is the length of a chord that passes through the center of the circle and equals twice the circle's radius (2r).


5

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

53% Answer Correctly

equilateral and isosceles

isosceles and right

equilateral 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.
