1

If the base of this triangle is 9 and the height is 3, what is the area?

58% Answer Correctly
45
13\(\frac{1}{2}\)
52
21

Solution

The area of a triangle is equal to ½ base x height:

a = ½bh
a = ½ x 9 x 3 = \( \frac{27}{2} \) = 13\(\frac{1}{2}\)


2

Which of the following is not required to define the slope-intercept equation for a line?

42% Answer Correctly

\({\Delta y \over \Delta x}\)

y-intercept

x-intercept

slope


Solution

A line on the coordinate grid can be defined by a slope-intercept equation: y = mx + b. For a given value of x, the value of y can be determined given the slope (m) and y-intercept (b) of the line. The slope of a line is change in y over change in x, \({\Delta y \over \Delta x}\), and the y-intercept is the y-coordinate where the line crosses the vertical y-axis.

On this circle, line segment AB is the:

71% 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).


4

Solve for x:
-8x + 4 < -6 + 4x

55% Answer Correctly
x < 1\(\frac{1}{2}\)
x < 1\(\frac{2}{3}\)
x < \(\frac{5}{6}\)
x < -2\(\frac{1}{2}\)

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.

-8x + 4 < -6 + 4x
-8x < -6 + 4x - 4
-8x - 4x < -6 - 4
-12x < -10
x < \( \frac{-10}{-12} \)
x < \(\frac{5}{6}\)


5

70% Answer Correctly

equal angle

parallel

equal length

right angle


Solution

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