1

The dimensions of this trapezoid are a = 5, b = 3, c = 8, d = 9, and h = 4. What is the area?

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

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(3 + 9)(4)
a = ½(12)(4)
a = ½(48) = \( \frac{48}{2} \)
a = 24


2

If the base of this triangle is 6 and the height is 5, what is the area?

58% Answer Correctly
91
15
56
27\(\frac{1}{2}\)

Solution

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

a = ½bh
a = ½ x 6 x 5 = \( \frac{30}{2} \) = 15


3

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

75% Answer Correctly

acute, right, obtuse

acute, obtuse, right

right, acute, obtuse

right, obtuse, acute


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, 7) and (2, 1). What is the slope-intercept equation for this line?

41% Answer Correctly
y = -1\(\frac{1}{2}\)x + 4
y = 3x - 3
y = 1\(\frac{1}{2}\)x + 3
y = 2x - 4

Solution

The slope-intercept equation for a line is y = mx + b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept of the line. From the graph, you can see that the y-intercept (the y-value from the point where the line crosses the y-axis) is 4. 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, 7) and (2, 1) so the slope becomes:

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(1.0) - (7.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{-6}{4} \)
m = -1\(\frac{1}{2}\)

Plugging these values into the slope-intercept equation:

y = -1\(\frac{1}{2}\)x + 4


5

A coordinate grid is composed of which of the following?

88% Answer Correctly

origin

y-axis

x-axis

all of these


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.
