1

If a = 2, b = 5, c = 3, and d = 3, what is the perimeter of this quadrilateral?

88% Answer Correctly
13
25
19
23

Solution

Perimeter is equal to the sum of the four sides:

p = a + b + c + d
p = 2 + 5 + 3 + 3
p = 13


2

Which of the following statements about a triangle is not true?

57% Answer Correctly

exterior angle = sum of two adjacent interior angles

perimeter = sum of side lengths

area = ½bh

sum of interior angles = 180°


Solution

A triangle is a three-sided polygon. It has three interior angles that add up to 180° (a + b + c = 180°). An exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the two interior angles that are opposite (d = b + c). The perimeter of a triangle is equal to the sum of the lengths of its three sides, the height of a triangle is equal to the length from the base to the opposite vertex (angle) and the area equals one-half triangle base x height: a = ½ base x height.


3

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

47% Answer Correctly

c2 - a2

c2 + a2

c - a

a2 - c2


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 = 6cm, side y = 5cm, and side z = 11cm what is the perimeter of this triangle?

84% Answer Correctly
22cm
38cm
29cm
27cm

Solution

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

p = x + y + z
p = 6cm + 5cm + 11cm = 22cm


5

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

45% Answer Correctly

trisects

intersects

midpoints

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.
