1

The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, -2) and (2, 10). What is the slope of this line?

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

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, -2) and (2, 10) so the slope becomes:

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(10.0) - (-2.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{12}{4} \)
m = 3


2

A cylinder with a radius (r) and a height (h) has a surface area of:

54% Answer Correctly

4π r2

2(π r2) + 2π rh

π r2h

π r2h2


Solution

A cylinder is a solid figure with straight parallel sides and a circular or oval cross section with a radius (r) and a height (h). The volume of a cylinder is π r2h and the surface area is 2(π r2) + 2π rh.


3

The dimensions of this trapezoid are a = 5, b = 8, c = 8, d = 8, and h = 3. What is the area?

51% Answer Correctly
12
25\(\frac{1}{2}\)
24
18

Solution

The area of a trapezoid is one-half the sum of the lengths of the parallel sides multiplied by the height:

a = ½(b + d)(h)
a = ½(8 + 8)(3)
a = ½(16)(3)
a = ½(48) = \( \frac{48}{2} \)
a = 24


4

Solve for y:
y - 1 < \( \frac{y}{5} \)

44% Answer Correctly
y < 1\(\frac{1}{4}\)
y < \(\frac{10}{23}\)
y < -\(\frac{9}{82}\)
y < 1\(\frac{1}{3}\)

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.

y - 1 < \( \frac{y}{5} \)
5 x (y - 1) < y
(5 x y) + (5 x -1) < y
5y - 5 < y
5y - 5 - y < 0
5y - y < 5
4y < 5
y < \( \frac{5}{4} \)
y < 1\(\frac{1}{4}\)


5

Which types of triangles will always have at least two sides of equal length?

54% Answer Correctly

isosceles and right

equilateral, isosceles and right

equilateral and right

equilateral and isosceles


Solution

An isosceles triangle has two sides of equal length. An equilateral triangle has three sides of equal length. In a right triangle, two sides meet at a right angle.
