    What is the most specific way we can describe/classify the drawing below? - ProProfs

    What is the most specific way we can describe/classify the drawing below?

    • Intersecting lines

    • Perpendicular lines

    • Parallel lines

    Correct Answer
    A. Intersecting lines
    Explanation
    The drawing below can be described as intersecting lines because the lines in the drawing cross each other at different points. This classification emphasizes the fact that the lines intersect or meet at specific points, rather than being parallel or perpendicular to each other.

    A decagon has

    • 10 sides

    • 8 sides

    • 0 sides

    Correct Answer
    A. 10 sides
    Explanation
    A decagon is a polygon with ten sides. The prefix "deca-" means ten, so a decagon is specifically defined as having ten sides.

    A stop sign is shaped like an - ProProfs

    A stop sign is shaped like an

    • Nonagon

    • Octagon

    • Heptagon

    Correct Answer
    A. Octagon
    Explanation
    A stop sign is shaped like an octagon because it has eight sides. The octagonal shape is easily recognizable and distinct, allowing drivers to quickly identify and understand the meaning of the sign. The unique shape helps to ensure that the stop sign stands out among other road signs and effectively communicates the need for drivers to come to a complete stop.

    A translation changes the size and shape of the figure 

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    A translation does not change the size and shape of a figure. A translation is a transformation that moves every point of a figure the same distance in the same direction. It simply shifts the figure without altering its size or shape. Therefore, the correct answer is false.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    A nonagon has how many sides ?

    • 7 sides

    • 8 sides

    • 9 sides

    • 10 sides

    Correct Answer
    A. 9 sides
    Explanation
    A nonagon is a polygon with nine sides. In this question, the correct answer is 9 sides because a nonagon is specifically defined as having nine sides.

    What type of triangle is shown below? - ProProfs

    What type of triangle is shown below?

    • Acute triangle

    • Obtuse triangle

    • Right triangle

    Correct Answer
    A. Acute triangle
    Explanation
    The triangle shown below is an acute triangle because all of its angles are less than 90 degrees.

    Rate this question:

    What type of triangle is shown below? - ProProfs

    What type of triangle is shown below?

    • Scalene

    • Equilateral

    • Isosceles

    Correct Answer
    A. Equilateral
    Explanation
    The given question is asking to identify the type of triangle shown below. The correct answer is "equilateral". An equilateral triangle is a type of triangle in which all three sides are of equal length. Since the question does not provide any visual representation or additional information about the triangle, we can assume that it is an equilateral triangle based on the given options and the fact that it is the correct answer.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    A polygon with five sides is called

    • Triangle

    • Hexagon

    • Pentagon

    Correct Answer
    A. Pentagon
    Explanation
    A polygon is a closed figure with straight sides. A triangle has three sides, a hexagon has six sides, and a pentagon has five sides. Therefore, the correct answer is pentagon.

    What type of triangle is shown below? - ProProfs

    What type of triangle is shown below?

    • Acute triangle

    • Obtuse triangle

    • Right triangle

    Correct Answer
    A. Right triangle
    Explanation
    The given question asks to identify the type of triangle shown below. The answer is "right triangle". A right triangle is a triangle that has one angle measuring 90 degrees. In the absence of a visual representation, it is impossible to determine the type of triangle accurately. However, based on the given options, it can be inferred that the triangle in question has a right angle, making it a right triangle.

    The transformation above shows a reflection over  - ProProfs

    The transformation above shows a reflection over 

    • X axis

    • Y axis

    • Y = x

    • X = -2

    Correct Answer
    A. X axis
    Explanation
    The transformation shown in the question is a reflection over the x-axis. This means that each point on the original figure is reflected across the x-axis to create the new figure. In the new figure, the y-coordinates of the points are negated while the x-coordinates remain the same. This results in the figure being flipped upside down with respect to the x-axis. Therefore, the correct answer is x-axis.

    Rate this question:

  • 12. 
    The transformation shown above is a  - ProProfs

    The transformation shown above is a 

    • Dilation of 1

    • Dilation of 2

    • Dilation of 1/2

    • Dilation of 4

    Correct Answer
    A. Dilation of 2
    Explanation
    The transformation shown above is a dilation of 2. This means that every point in the figure has been stretched away from the center of dilation by a factor of 2. The distance between each point and the center of dilation has been multiplied by 2.

  • 13. 
    What type of triangle is shown below? - ProProfs

    What type of triangle is shown below?

    • Acute triangle

    • Obtuse triangle

    • Right triangle

    Correct Answer
    A. Obtuse triangle
    Explanation
    The given answer is "obtuse triangle" because an obtuse triangle is a triangle that has one angle greater than 90 degrees. Since the question does not provide any additional information or measurements about the angles of the triangle shown, we can only determine its type based on the given answer choices. Therefore, the correct answer is "obtuse triangle."

    Describe the rotation that occurred above - ProProfs

    Describe the rotation that occurred above

    • 90 degrees clockwise

    • 180 degrees

    • 90 degrees counter clockwise

    • 360 degrees

    Correct Answer
    A. 90 degrees counter clockwise
    Explanation
    The rotation that occurred above can be described as a rotation of 90 degrees counter clockwise. This means that the object or shape was rotated in the opposite direction of the clock's hands by 90 degrees.

    A translation that moves 6 units down and 5 units to the right  can be described as 

    • ( x - 6 , y + 5 )

    • ( x + 6 , y - 5 )

    • ( x + 5 , y - 6 )

    • ( x - 5 , y + 6 )

    Correct Answer
    A. ( x + 5 , y - 6 )
    Explanation
    A translation that moves 6 units down and 5 units to the right can be described as (x + 5, y - 6) because when we move to the right, the x-coordinate increases, and when we move down, the y-coordinate decreases. Therefore, the correct answer is (x + 5, y - 6) as it reflects the correct direction and magnitude of the translation.

    The link above shows a translation of  - ProProfs

    The link above shows a translation of 

    • ( x - 2 , y - 6 )

    • ( x + 2 , y - 6 )

    • ( x - 2 , y + 6 )

    • ( x + 6 , y - 2 )

    Correct Answer
    A. ( x + 6 , y - 2 )
    Explanation
    The correct answer is ( x + 6 , y - 2 ). This translation involves shifting the point (x, y) six units to the right and two units downwards.

    Rate this question:

  • 17. 
    The transformation shown above is a - ProProfs

    The transformation shown above is a

    • Reflection over x-axis

    • Reflection over y-axis

    • Reflection over x = -2

    • Reflection over y = -2

    Correct Answer
    A. Reflection over y = -2
    Explanation
    The given answer "Reflection over y = -2" is correct because the transformation shown in the question involves reflecting the figure over the line y = -2. This means that each point on the figure is mirrored across the line y = -2, resulting in a flipped image.

    BONUS: The area of the following trapezoid is  - ProProfs

    BONUS: The area of the following trapezoid is 

    Correct Answer
    9
    Explanation
    The area of a trapezoid is calculated by multiplying the sum of its bases by its height and dividing the result by 2. In this case, since the area is given as 9, we can assume that the sum of the bases multiplied by the height is equal to 18. Without further information, it is not possible to determine the exact values of the bases and height.

    Rate this question:

  • 19. 
    The figure above has a dilation with a  - ProProfs

    The figure above has a dilation with a 

    • Scale factor of 2

    • Scale factor of 1/2

    • Scale factor of 1.5

    • Scale factor of 2/3

    Correct Answer
    A. Scale factor of 1.5
    Explanation
    The figure above has a dilation with a scale factor of 1.5. This means that every point in the figure is multiplied by a factor of 1.5, resulting in a figure that is 1.5 times larger than the original figure.
