Which types of triangles will always have at least two sides of equal length?
equilateral and right |
|
isosceles and right |
|
equilateral, isosceles and right |
|
equilateral and isosceles |
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.
If the length of AB equals the length of BD, point B __________ this line segment.
bisects |
|
midpoints |
|
trisects |
|
intersects |
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.
A quadrilateral is a shape with __________ sides.

A quadrilateral is a shape with four sides. The perimeter of a quadrilateral is the sum of the lengths of its four sides.
The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, 2) and (2, 4). What is the slope-intercept equation for this line?
| y = -3x + 0 | |
| y = -3x - 4 | |
| y = \(\frac{1}{2}\)x + 3 | |
| y = 2\(\frac{1}{2}\)x + 2 |
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 3. 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, 2) and (2, 4) so the slope becomes:
m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(4.0) - (2.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{2}{4} \)Plugging these values into the slope-intercept equation:
y = \(\frac{1}{2}\)x + 3
If angle a = 21° and angle b = 28° what is the length of angle c?
| 103° | |
| 131° | |
| 56° | |
| 125° |
The sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°:
180° = a° + b° + c°
c° = 180° - a° - b°
c° = 180° - 21° - 28° = 131°
