1

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

52% Answer Correctly

rhombus

trapezoid

quadrilateral

triangle


Solution

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


2

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

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

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 = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(-5.0) - (-3.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{-2}{4} \)
m = -\(\frac{1}{2}\)


3

The dimensions of this trapezoid are a = 5, b = 3, c = 7, d = 4, and h = 3. What is the area?

51% Answer Correctly
13\(\frac{1}{2}\)
25
10\(\frac{1}{2}\)
32\(\frac{1}{2}\)

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(3 + 4)(3)
a = ½(7)(3)
a = ½(21) = \( \frac{21}{2} \)
a = 10\(\frac{1}{2}\)


4

If side x = 14cm, side y = 6cm, and side z = 6cm what is the perimeter of this triangle?

85% Answer Correctly
42cm
26cm
33cm
38cm

Solution

The perimeter of a triangle is the sum of the lengths of its sides:

p = x + y + z
p = 14cm + 6cm + 6cm = 26cm


5

Simplify (y - 2)(y - 1)

64% Answer Correctly
y2 - y - 2
y2 + 3y + 2
y2 + y - 2
y2 - 3y + 2

Solution

To multiply binomials, use the FOIL method. FOIL stands for First, Outside, Inside, Last and refers to the position of each term in the parentheses:

(y - 2)(y - 1)
(y x y) + (y x -1) + (-2 x y) + (-2 x -1)
y2 - y - 2y + 2
y2 - 3y + 2
