1

If a = 2, b = 6, c = 2, and d = 7, what is the perimeter of this quadrilateral?

88% Answer Correctly
13
17
26
20

Solution

Perimeter is equal to the sum of the four sides:

p = a + b + c + d
p = 2 + 6 + 2 + 7
p = 17


2

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

49% Answer Correctly

the area of a parallelogram is base x height

opposite sides and adjacent angles are equal

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

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).


3

The dimensions of this trapezoid are a = 5, b = 7, c = 6, d = 6, and h = 4. What is the area?

51% Answer Correctly
16
20
26
7

Solution

The area of a trapezoid is one-half the sum of the lengths of the parallel sides multiplied by the height:

a = ½(b + d)(h)
a = ½(7 + 6)(4)
a = ½(13)(4)
a = ½(52) = \( \frac{52}{2} \)
a = 26


4

The formula for volume of a cube in terms of height (h), length (l), and width (w) is which of the following?

67% Answer Correctly

lw x wh + lh

h x l x w

h2 x l2 x w2

2lw x 2wh + 2lh


Solution

A cube is a rectangular solid box with a height (h), length (l), and width (w). The volume is h x l x w and the surface area is 2lw x 2wh + 2lh.


5

Simplify 8a x 7b.

85% Answer Correctly
56\( \frac{b}{a} \)
56ab
15ab
56a2b2

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.

8a x 7b = (8 x 7) (a x b) = 56ab
