1

The dimensions of this trapezoid are a = 4, b = 8, c = 7, d = 8, and h = 2. What is the area?

51% Answer Correctly
7
16
12\(\frac{1}{2}\)
10

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(8 + 8)(2)
a = ½(16)(2)
a = ½(32) = \( \frac{32}{2} \)
a = 16


2

Solve for x:
-6x + 1 < \( \frac{x}{-5} \)

45% Answer Correctly
x < \(\frac{5}{29}\)
x < 2\(\frac{5}{11}\)
x < -1
x < -1\(\frac{11}{13}\)

Solution

To solve this equation, repeatedly do the same thing to both sides of the equation until the variable is isolated on one side of the < sign and the answer on the other.

-6x + 1 < \( \frac{x}{-5} \)
-5 x (-6x + 1) < x
(-5 x -6x) + (-5 x 1) < x
30x - 5 < x
30x - 5 - x < 0
30x - x < 5
29x < 5
x < \( \frac{5}{29} \)
x < \(\frac{5}{29}\)


3

Which of the following statements about math operations is incorrect?

71% Answer Correctly

you can multiply monomials that have different variables and different exponents

you can subtract monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent

all of these statements are correct

you can add monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent


Solution

You can only add or subtract monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent. For example, 2a + 4a = 6a and 4a2 - a2 = 3a2 but 2a + 4b and 7a - 3b cannot be combined. However, you can multiply and divide monomials with unlike terms. For example, 2a x 6b = 12ab.

If a = 7, b = 8, c = 6, and d = 6, what is the perimeter of this quadrilateral?

88% Answer Correctly
24
15
27
19

Solution

Perimeter is equal to the sum of the four sides:

p = a + b + c + d
p = 7 + 8 + 6 + 6
p = 27


5

The dimensions of this cube are height (h) = 8, length (l) = 5, and width (w) = 2. What is the volume?

83% Answer Correctly
126
80
288
441

Solution

The volume of a cube is height x length x width:

v = h x l x w
v = 8 x 5 x 2
v = 80
