1

If a = c = 9, b = d = 7, and the blue angle = 51°, what is the area of this parallelogram?

65% Answer Correctly
30
20
63
7

Solution

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

a = l x w
a = a x b
a = 9 x 7
a = 63


2

If BD = 3 and AD = 11, AB = ?

75% Answer Correctly
16
8
10
20

Solution

The entire length of this line is represented by AD which is AB + BD:

AD = AB + BD

Solving for AB:

AB = AD - BD
AB = 11 - 3
AB = 8


3

On this circle, a line segment connecting point A to point D is called:

46% Answer Correctly

diameter

circumference

chord

radius


Solution

A circle is a figure in which each point around its perimeter is an equal distance from the center. The radius of a circle is the distance between the center and any point along its perimeter. A chord is a line segment that connects any two points along its perimeter. The diameter of a circle is the length of a chord that passes through the center of the circle and equals twice the circle's radius (2r).


4

The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 1 and radius (r) = 5. What is the volume?

62% Answer Correctly
486π
25π
27π

Solution

The volume of a cylinder is πr2h:

v = πr2h
v = π(52 x 1)
v = 25π


5

If the area of this square is 4, what is the length of one of the diagonals?

68% Answer Correctly
4\( \sqrt{2} \)
9\( \sqrt{2} \)
2\( \sqrt{2} \)
6\( \sqrt{2} \)

Solution

To find the diagonal we need to know the length of one of the square's sides. We know the area and the area of a square is the length of one side squared:

a = s2

so the length of one side of the square is:

s = \( \sqrt{a} \) = \( \sqrt{4} \) = 2

The Pythagorean theorem defines the square of the hypotenuse (diagonal) of a triangle with a right angle as the sum of the squares of the other two sides:

c2 = a2 + b2
c2 = 22 + 22
c2 = 8
c = \( \sqrt{8} \) = \( \sqrt{4 x 2} \) = \( \sqrt{4} \) \( \sqrt{2} \)
c = 2\( \sqrt{2} \)
