1

A coordinate grid is composed of which of the following?

88% Answer Correctly

y-axis

all of these

x-axis

origin


Solution

The coordinate grid is composed of a horizontal x-axis and a vertical y-axis. The center of the grid, where the x-axis and y-axis meet, is called the origin.


2

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

45% Answer Correctly

bisects

intersects

trisects

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

When two lines intersect, adjacent angles are __________ (they add up to 180°) and angles across from either other are __________ (they're equal).

60% Answer Correctly

vertical, supplementary

obtuse, acute

supplementary, vertical

acute, obtuse


Solution

Angles around a line add up to 180°. Angles around a point add up to 360°. When two lines intersect, adjacent angles are supplementary (they add up to 180°) and angles across from either other are vertical (they're equal).


4

The dimensions of this trapezoid are a = 5, b = 9, c = 8, d = 5, and h = 3. What is the area?

51% Answer Correctly
22
22\(\frac{1}{2}\)
20
21

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(9 + 5)(3)
a = ½(14)(3)
a = ½(42) = \( \frac{42}{2} \)
a = 21


5

What is 8a - 7a?

79% Answer Correctly
1a
a2
15a2
15

Solution

To combine like terms, add or subtract the coefficients (the numbers that come before the variables) of terms that have the same variable raised to the same exponent.

8a - 7a = 1a
