1

If side x = 6cm, side y = 8cm, and side z = 15cm what is the perimeter of this triangle?

84% Answer Correctly
37cm
32cm
40cm
29cm

Solution

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

p = x + y + z
p = 6cm + 8cm + 15cm = 29cm


2

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

45% Answer Correctly

trisects

intersects

bisects

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.


3

Order the following types of angle from least number of degrees to most number of degrees.

74% Answer Correctly

right, obtuse, acute

acute, obtuse, right

right, acute, obtuse

acute, right, obtuse


Solution

An acute angle measures less than 90°, a right angle measures 90°, and an obtuse angle measures more than 90°.


4

The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, -4) and (2, 0). What is the slope of this line?

46% Answer Correctly
-3
-1
1
-1\(\frac{1}{2}\)

Solution

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, -4) and (2, 0) so the slope becomes:

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(0.0) - (-4.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{4}{4} \)
m = 1


5

Which of the following statements about math operations is incorrect?

70% Answer Correctly

all of these statements are correct

you can subtract monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent

you can multiply monomials that have different variables and different exponents

you can add monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent


Solution

You can only add or subtract monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent. For example, 2a + 4a = 6a and 4a2 - a2 = 3a2 but 2a + 4b and 7a - 3b cannot be combined. However, you can multiply and divide monomials with unlike terms. For example, 2a x 6b = 12ab.
