1

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

51% Answer Correctly

quadrilateral

trapezoid

rhombus

triangle


Solution

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


2

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

52% Answer Correctly

4π r2

π r2h2

π r2h

2(π r2) + 2π rh


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.


3

If angle a = 65° and angle b = 46° what is the length of angle d?

56% Answer Correctly
115°
137°
158°
131°

Solution

An exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the two interior angles that are opposite:

d° = b° + c°

To find angle c, remember that the sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°:

180° = a° + b° + c°
c° = 180° - a° - b°
c° = 180° - 65° - 46° = 69°

So, d° = 46° + 69° = 115°

A shortcut to get this answer is to remember that angles around a line add up to 180°:

a° + d° = 180°
d° = 180° - a°
d° = 180° - 65° = 115°


4

If the base of this triangle is 4 and the height is 9, what is the area?

58% Answer Correctly
48
90
18
42

Solution

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

a = ½bh
a = ½ x 4 x 9 = \( \frac{36}{2} \) = 18


5

The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, -4) and (2, 6). What is the slope of this line?

46% Answer Correctly
-2
1\(\frac{1}{2}\)
2\(\frac{1}{2}\)
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, -4) and (2, 6) so the slope becomes:

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(6.0) - (-4.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{10}{4} \)
m = 2\(\frac{1}{2}\)
