1

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

46% Answer Correctly

trisects

bisects

intersects

midpoints


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.


2

What is 8a - 6a?

80% Answer Correctly
2a
14a2
48a2
2a2

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.

8a - 6a = 2a


3

For this diagram, the Pythagorean theorem states that b2 = ?

47% Answer Correctly

c2 - a2

c2 + a2

a2 - c2

c - a


Solution

The Pythagorean theorem defines the relationship between the side lengths of a right triangle. The length of the hypotenuse squared (c2) is equal to the sum of the two perpendicular sides squared (a2 + b2): c2 = a2 + b2 or, solved for c, \(c = \sqrt{a + b}\)


4

If side x = 8cm, side y = 10cm, and side z = 6cm what is the perimeter of this triangle?

85% Answer Correctly
26cm
32cm
34cm
24cm

Solution

The perimeter of a triangle is the sum of the lengths of its sides:

p = x + y + z
p = 8cm + 10cm + 6cm = 24cm


5

A(n) __________ is two expressions separated by an equal sign.

77% Answer Correctly

expression

problem

equation

formula


Solution

An equation is two expressions separated by an equal sign. The key to solving equations is to repeatedly do the same thing to both sides of the equation until the variable is isolated on one side of the equal sign and the answer on the other.
