1

If a = c = 2, b = d = 4, and the blue angle = 55°, what is the area of this parallelogram?

65% Answer Correctly
18
36
8
81

Solution

The area of a parallelogram is equal to its length x width:

a = l x w
a = a x b
a = 2 x 4
a = 8


2

What is the circumference of a circle with a diameter of 6?

71% Answer Correctly
28π
10π
19π

Solution

The formula for circumference is circle diameter x π:

c = πd
c = 6π


3

Solve for a:
a2 + a - 6 = 0

58% Answer Correctly
2 or -3
3 or -2
-7 or -8
4 or -8

Solution

The first step to solve a quadratic equation that's set to zero is to factor the quadratic equation:

a2 + a - 6 = 0
(a - 2)(a + 3) = 0

For this expression to be true, the left side of the expression must equal zero. Therefore, either (a - 2) or (a + 3) must equal zero:

If (a - 2) = 0, a must equal 2
If (a + 3) = 0, a must equal -3

So the solution is that a = 2 or -3


4

On this circle, line segment CD is the:

46% Answer Correctly

chord

circumference

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).

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

57% Answer Correctly

area = ½bh

exterior angle = sum of two adjacent interior angles

sum of interior angles = 180°

perimeter = sum of side lengths


Solution

A triangle is a three-sided polygon. It has three interior angles that add up to 180° (a + b + c = 180°). An exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the two interior angles that are opposite (d = b + c). The perimeter of a triangle is equal to the sum of the lengths of its three sides, the height of a triangle is equal to the length from the base to the opposite vertex (angle) and the area equals one-half triangle base x height: a = ½ base x height.
