1

If the base of this triangle is 3 and the height is 1, what is the area?

58% Answer Correctly
17\(\frac{1}{2}\)
91
21
1\(\frac{1}{2}\)

Solution

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

a = ½bh
a = ½ x 3 x 1 = \( \frac{3}{2} \) = 1\(\frac{1}{2}\)


2

If side x = 5cm, side y = 6cm, and side z = 14cm what is the perimeter of this triangle?

85% Answer Correctly
22cm
25cm
30cm
32cm

Solution

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

p = x + y + z
p = 5cm + 6cm + 14cm = 25cm


3

The dimensions of this trapezoid are a = 6, b = 3, c = 9, d = 4, and h = 4. What is the area?

51% Answer Correctly
14
26
20
37\(\frac{1}{2}\)

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 + 4)(4)
a = ½(7)(4)
a = ½(28) = \( \frac{28}{2} \)
a = 14


4

If side a = 5, side b = 9, what is the length of the hypotenuse of this right triangle?

64% Answer Correctly
\( \sqrt{34} \)
\( \sqrt{128} \)
\( \sqrt{82} \)
\( \sqrt{106} \)

Solution

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

c2 = a2 + b2
c2 = 52 + 92
c2 = 25 + 81
c2 = 106
c = \( \sqrt{106} \)


5

If a = c = 5, b = d = 6, and the blue angle = 62°, what is the area of this parallelogram?

66% Answer Correctly
56
6
36
30

Solution

The area of a parallelogram is equal to its length x width:

a = l x w
a = a x b
a = 5 x 6
a = 30
