1

Breaking apart a quadratic expression into a pair of binomials is called:

75% Answer Correctly

normalizing

squaring

deconstructing

factoring


Solution

To factor a quadratic expression, apply the FOIL (First, Outside, Inside, Last) method in reverse.


2

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

47% Answer Correctly

radius

circumference

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).


3

If angle a = 47° and angle b = 48° what is the length of angle c?

71% Answer Correctly
87°
86°
120°
85°

Solution

The sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°:
180° = a° + b° + c°
c° = 180° - a° - b°
c° = 180° - 47° - 48° = 85°


4

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

58% Answer Correctly

exterior angle = sum of two adjacent interior angles

area = ½bh

perimeter = sum of side lengths

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.


5

If side a = 1, side b = 2, what is the length of the hypotenuse of this right triangle?

64% Answer Correctly
\( \sqrt{82} \)
\( \sqrt{13} \)
\( \sqrt{5} \)
\( \sqrt{18} \)

Solution

According to the Pythagorean theorem, the hypotenuse squared is equal to the sum of the two perpendicular sides squared:

c2 = a2 + b2
c2 = 12 + 22
c2 = 1 + 4
c2 = 5
c = \( \sqrt{5} \)
