Name: _________________ Triangles Unit Test Complete the following problems. Show work wherever necessary. 1.

What type of triangle contains angles which are all less than 90 ? a. Right Triangle b. Obtuse, Isosceles c. Acute, Equilateral d. Scalene 2. Classify the following triangle based on its angle a. Right b. Acute c. Obtuse
Comment [S1]: This is another test on triangles which addresses standards: 2.9.6.A: Identify, define, label, and/or describe properties of 1-, 2-, and 3-dimensional shapes and their related parts, and classify and compare 2- and 3- dimensional shapes on the basis of their properties. 2.3.6.B Use appropriate units to measure perimeter, area, and volume; use a protractor to measure angles between 0 and 180 degrees 2.3.6.C: Use given measurements to calculate a missing length, perimeter, area, and/or volume; Calculate elapsed time across am/pm and across days.

10. The foot of a ladder is placed 6 feet from a wall. If the top of the ladder rests 8 feet up on the wall, how long is the ladder?

11. Donna's TV screen is 20 inches long. If the diagonal measures 25 inches, how long is the width of Donna's TV?
Comment [S2]: Giving them real world examples that they can use I feel is important or students can feel like they are learning the material for no reason.

12. If the area of a triangle is 20 inches and the base if 8 inches, what is the height of the triangle?

13. If you have an equilateral triangle with a perimeter of 27 cm, what are the lengths of the sides?

14. If you are given a square with a diagonal of 10 inches, show how you can find the area of the square using what we know about triangles.
Comment [S3]: I feel it is important to develop questions which reach all levels of blooms taxonomy and get students to apply the information that they have learned with some prior knowledge to solve more complex problems.

15. Draw an isosceles triangle and properly label all the congruent parts.

16. Draw a right triangle and properly label the sides using the parts from the Pythagorean Theorem.

Short Answer 17. Write the definition and formula for the area of a triangle.

Comment [S4]: Incorporating writing into math is important, this is why I put in a short response section which has students explain in words how they would find different measurements and apply their new knowledge to these other types of problems.

18. Explain why a right triangle cannot also be an obtuse triangle.

19. Explain how the Pythagorean Theorem works in terms of its sides and hypotenuse.

20. Explain how knowing the area of a triangle can help you find the area of other shapes.
