1

A(n) __________ is to a parallelogram as a square is to a rectangle.

51% Answer Correctly

trapezoid

rhombus

triangle

quadrilateral


Solution

A rhombus is a parallelogram with four equal-length sides. A square is a rectangle with four equal-length sides.


2

Solve for x:
-4x + 2 < -6 - 5x

55% Answer Correctly
x < -\(\frac{1}{4}\)
x < -8
x < -\(\frac{3}{4}\)
x < \(\frac{1}{3}\)

Solution

To solve this equation, repeatedly do the same thing to both sides of the equation until the variable is isolated on one side of the < sign and the answer on the other.

-4x + 2 < -6 - 5x
-4x < -6 - 5x - 2
-4x + 5x < -6 - 2
x < -8


3

Solve for b:
-8b - 2 = 4 - 4b

59% Answer Correctly
-1\(\frac{1}{2}\)
2\(\frac{1}{3}\)
-2\(\frac{1}{2}\)
1\(\frac{1}{7}\)

Solution

To solve this equation, repeatedly do the same thing to both sides of the equation until the variable is isolated on one side of the equal sign and the answer on the other.

-8b - 2 = 4 - 4b
-8b = 4 - 4b + 2
-8b + 4b = 4 + 2
-4b = 6
b = \( \frac{6}{-4} \)
b = -1\(\frac{1}{2}\)


4

The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 2 and radius (r) = 4. What is the surface area?

48% Answer Correctly
42π
208π
48π

Solution

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

sa = 2πr2 + 2πrh
sa = 2π(42) + 2π(4 x 2)
sa = 2π(16) + 2π(8)
sa = (2 x 16)π + (2 x 8)π
sa = 32π + 16π
sa = 48π


5

Which of the following is not true about both rectangles and squares?

63% Answer Correctly

the perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all four sides

the area is length x width

the lengths of all sides are equal

all interior angles are right angles


Solution

A rectangle is a parallelogram containing four right angles. Opposite sides (a = c, b = d) are equal and the perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all sides (a + b + c + d) or, comonly, 2 x length x width. The area of a rectangle is length x width. A square is a rectangle with four equal length sides. The perimeter of a square is 4 x length of one side (4s) and the area is the length of one side squared (s2).
