1

A trapezoid is a quadrilateral with one set of __________ sides.

70% Answer Correctly

right angle

equal length

parallel

equal angle


Solution

A trapezoid is a quadrilateral with one set of parallel sides.


2

For this diagram, the Pythagorean theorem states that b2 = ?

47% Answer Correctly

a2 - c2

c - a

c2 + a2

c2 - a2


Solution

The Pythagorean theorem defines the relationship between the side lengths of a right triangle. The length of the hypotenuse squared (c2) is equal to the sum of the two perpendicular sides squared (a2 + b2): c2 = a2 + b2 or, solved for c, \(c = \sqrt{a + b}\)


3

The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 6 and radius (r) = 3. What is the surface area?

48% Answer Correctly
144π
224π
126π
54π

Solution

The surface area of a cylinder is 2πr2 + 2πrh:

sa = 2πr2 + 2πrh
sa = 2π(32) + 2π(3 x 6)
sa = 2π(9) + 2π(18)
sa = (2 x 9)π + (2 x 18)π
sa = 18π + 36π
sa = 54π


4

If b = 1 and z = 5, what is the value of -7b(b - z)?

68% Answer Correctly
-210
-72
28
48

Solution

To solve this equation, replace the variables with the values given and then solve the now variable-free equation. (Remember order of operations, PEMDAS, Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication/Division, Addition/Subtraction.)

-7b(b - z)
-7(1)(1 - 5)
-7(1)(-4)
(-7)(-4)
28


5

Which of the following statements about a parallelogram is not true?

49% Answer Correctly

the area of a parallelogram is base x height

the perimeter of a parallelogram is the sum of the lengths of all sides

opposite sides and adjacent angles are equal

a parallelogram is a quadrilateral


Solution

A parallelogram is a quadrilateral with two sets of parallel sides. Opposite sides (a = c, b = d) and angles (red = red, blue = blue) are equal. The area of a parallelogram is base x height and the perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all sides (a + b + c + d).
