1

If a = c = 8, b = d = 6, and the blue angle = 66°, what is the area of this parallelogram?

65% Answer Correctly
48
21
27
15

Solution

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

a = l x w
a = a x b
a = 8 x 6
a = 48


2

What is the circumference of a circle with a diameter of 7?

71% Answer Correctly
12π
11π
10π

Solution

The formula for circumference is circle diameter x π:

c = πd
c = 7π


3

If the area of this square is 81, what is the length of one of the diagonals?

68% Answer Correctly
7\( \sqrt{2} \)
9\( \sqrt{2} \)
5\( \sqrt{2} \)
\( \sqrt{2} \)

Solution

To find the diagonal we need to know the length of one of the square's sides. We know the area and the area of a square is the length of one side squared:

a = s2

so the length of one side of the square is:

s = \( \sqrt{a} \) = \( \sqrt{81} \) = 9

The Pythagorean theorem defines the square of the hypotenuse (diagonal) of a triangle with a right angle as the sum of the squares of the other two sides:

c2 = a2 + b2
c2 = 92 + 92
c2 = 162
c = \( \sqrt{162} \) = \( \sqrt{81 x 2} \) = \( \sqrt{81} \) \( \sqrt{2} \)
c = 9\( \sqrt{2} \)


4

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

49% Answer Correctly

opposite sides and adjacent angles are equal

a parallelogram is a quadrilateral

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

the area of a parallelogram is base x height


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

A cylinder with a radius (r) and a height (h) has a surface area of:

53% Answer Correctly

2(π r2) + 2π rh

4π r2

π r2h2

π r2h


Solution

A cylinder is a solid figure with straight parallel sides and a circular or oval cross section with a radius (r) and a height (h). The volume of a cylinder is π r2h and the surface area is 2(π r2) + 2π rh.
