1

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

51% Answer Correctly

trapezoid

quadrilateral

triangle

rhombus


Solution

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


2

Simplify (2a)(4ab) + (4a2)(8b).

65% Answer Correctly
72ab2
40a2b
72a2b
40ab2

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.

(2a)(4ab) + (4a2)(8b)
(2 x 4)(a x a x b) + (4 x 8)(a2 x b)
(8)(a1+1 x b) + (32)(a2b)
8a2b + 32a2b
40a2b


3

The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, -3) and (2, 5). What is the slope of this line?

46% Answer Correctly
-1
-\(\frac{1}{2}\)
2
-1\(\frac{1}{2}\)

Solution

The slope of this line is the change in y divided by the change in x. The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, -3) and (2, 5) so the slope becomes:

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(5.0) - (-3.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{8}{4} \)
m = 2


4

The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 8 and radius (r) = 9. What is the surface area?

48% Answer Correctly
306π
120π
100π
110π

Solution

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

sa = 2πr2 + 2πrh
sa = 2π(92) + 2π(9 x 8)
sa = 2π(81) + 2π(72)
sa = (2 x 81)π + (2 x 72)π
sa = 162π + 144π
sa = 306π


5

Factor y2 + 10y + 9

54% Answer Correctly
(y - 1)(y - 9)
(y + 1)(y + 9)
(y + 1)(y - 9)
(y - 1)(y + 9)

Solution

To factor a quadratic expression, apply the FOIL method (First, Outside, Inside, Last) in reverse. First, find the two Last terms that will multiply to produce 9 as well and sum (Inside, Outside) to equal 10. For this problem, those two numbers are 1 and 9. Then, plug these into a set of binomials using the square root of the First variable (y2):

y2 + 10y + 9
y2 + (1 + 9)y + (1 x 9)
(y + 1)(y + 9)
