1

If the base of this triangle is 8 and the height is 6, what is the area?

58% Answer Correctly
40
24
24\(\frac{1}{2}\)
49\(\frac{1}{2}\)

Solution

The area of a triangle is equal to ½ base x height:

a = ½bh
a = ½ x 8 x 6 = \( \frac{48}{2} \) = 24


2

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

49% Answer Correctly

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

the area of a parallelogram is base x height

opposite sides and adjacent angles are equal

a parallelogram is a quadrilateral


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).


3

The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 7 and radius (r) = 8. What is the volume?

62% Answer Correctly
320π
448π
32π
16π

Solution

The volume of a cylinder is πr2h:

v = πr2h
v = π(82 x 7)
v = 448π


4

Order the following types of angle from least number of degrees to most number of degrees.

74% Answer Correctly

right, acute, obtuse

right, obtuse, acute

acute, right, obtuse

acute, obtuse, right


Solution

An acute angle measures less than 90°, a right angle measures 90°, and an obtuse angle measures more than 90°.


5

Solve for y:
-y + 7 > -2 + 7y

54% Answer Correctly
y > 1\(\frac{1}{8}\)
y > -\(\frac{5}{7}\)
y > 1
y > 8

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.

-y + 7 > -2 + 7y
-y > -2 + 7y - 7
-y - 7y > -2 - 7
-8y > -9
y > \( \frac{-9}{-8} \)
y > 1\(\frac{1}{8}\)
