1

A quadrilateral is a shape with __________ sides.

90% Answer Correctly

3

4

5

2


Solution

A quadrilateral is a shape with four sides. The perimeter of a quadrilateral is the sum of the lengths of its four sides.


2

Simplify (y + 2)(y + 4)

62% Answer Correctly
y2 + 2y - 8
y2 - 6y + 8
y2 + 6y + 8
y2 - 2y - 8

Solution

To multiply binomials, use the FOIL method. FOIL stands for First, Outside, Inside, Last and refers to the position of each term in the parentheses:

(y + 2)(y + 4)
(y x y) + (y x 4) + (2 x y) + (2 x 4)
y2 + 4y + 2y + 8
y2 + 6y + 8


3

Which of the following is not required to define the slope-intercept equation for a line?

42% Answer Correctly

x-intercept

\({\Delta y \over \Delta x}\)

slope

y-intercept


Solution

A line on the coordinate grid can be defined by a slope-intercept equation: y = mx + b. For a given value of x, the value of y can be determined given the slope (m) and y-intercept (b) of the line. The slope of a line is change in y over change in x, \({\Delta y \over \Delta x}\), and the y-intercept is the y-coordinate where the line crosses the vertical y-axis.


4

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

49% Answer Correctly

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

opposite sides and adjacent angles are equal

the area of a parallelogram is base x height

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).


5

The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 8 and radius (r) = 4. What is the volume?

62% Answer Correctly
405π
144π
81π
128π

Solution

The volume of a cylinder is πr2h:

v = πr2h
v = π(42 x 8)
v = 128π
