1

A trapezoid is a quadrilateral with one set of __________ sides.

70% Answer Correctly

right angle

equal length

equal angle

parallel


Solution

A trapezoid is a quadrilateral with one set of parallel sides.


2

Which of the following statements about math operations is incorrect?

70% Answer Correctly

all of these statements are correct

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

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

you can multiply monomials that have different variables and different exponents


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.


3

A quadrilateral is a shape with __________ sides.

90% Answer Correctly

3

4

2

5


Solution

A quadrilateral is a shape with four sides. The perimeter of a quadrilateral is the sum of the lengths of its four sides.


4

Simplify (8a)(5ab) + (2a2)(9b).

65% Answer Correctly
143ab2
22ab2
58a2b
143a2b

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)(5ab) + (2a2)(9b)
(8 x 5)(a x a x b) + (2 x 9)(a2 x b)
(40)(a1+1 x b) + (18)(a2b)
40a2b + 18a2b
58a2b


5

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

48% Answer Correctly
256π
28π
144π
80π

Solution

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

sa = 2πr2 + 2πrh
sa = 2π(82) + 2π(8 x 8)
sa = 2π(64) + 2π(64)
sa = (2 x 64)π + (2 x 64)π
sa = 128π + 128π
sa = 256π
