1

A right angle measures:

90% Answer Correctly

180°

360°

90°

45°


Solution

A right angle measures 90 degrees and is the intersection of two perpendicular lines. In diagrams, a right angle is indicated by a small box completing a square with the perpendicular lines.


2

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

49% Answer Correctly

a parallelogram is a quadrilateral

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


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).


3

Simplify (5a)(8ab) - (6a2)(3b).

62% Answer Correctly
117ab2
117a2b
22a2b
-22ab2

Solution

To multiply monomials, multiply the coefficients (the numbers that come before the variables) of each term, add the exponents of like variables, and multiply the different variables together.

(5a)(8ab) - (6a2)(3b)
(5 x 8)(a x a x b) - (6 x 3)(a2 x b)
(40)(a1+1 x b) - (18)(a2b)
40a2b - 18a2b
22a2b


4

On this circle, line segment CD is the:

46% Answer Correctly

circumference

chord

diameter

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).


5

The dimensions of this cube are height (h) = 6, length (l) = 9, and width (w) = 2. What is the surface area?

51% Answer Correctly
78
210
192
168

Solution

The surface area of a cube is (2 x length x width) + (2 x width x height) + (2 x length x height):

sa = 2lw + 2wh + 2lh
sa = (2 x 9 x 2) + (2 x 2 x 6) + (2 x 9 x 6)
sa = (36) + (24) + (108)
sa = 168
