1

A quadrilateral is a shape with __________ sides.

91% Answer Correctly

2

5

3

4


Solution

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


2

The formula for the area of a circle is which of the following?

24% Answer Correctly

c = π r

c = π r2

c = π d

c = π d2


Solution

The circumference of a circle is the distance around its perimeter and equals π (approx. 3.14159) x diameter: c = π d. The area of a circle is π x (radius)2 : a = π r2.


3

Solve for z:
z2 + 12z + 30 = z + 2

49% Answer Correctly
7 or -7
2 or 2
-5 or -6
-4 or -7

Solution

The first step to solve a quadratic expression that's not set to zero is to solve the equation so that it is set to zero:

z2 + 12z + 30 = z + 2
z2 + 12z + 30 - 2 = z
z2 + 12z - z + 28 = 0
z2 + 11z + 28 = 0

Next, factor the quadratic equation:

z2 + 11z + 28 = 0
(z + 4)(z + 7) = 0

For this expression to be true, the left side of the expression must equal zero. Therefore, either (z + 4) or (z + 7) must equal zero:

If (z + 4) = 0, z must equal -4
If (z + 7) = 0, z must equal -7

So the solution is that z = -4 or -7


4

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

70% Answer Correctly

equal length

right angle

equal angle

parallel


Solution

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


5

Simplify 2a x 4b.

86% Answer Correctly
8ab
8\( \frac{b}{a} \)
8a2b2
6ab

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.

2a x 4b = (2 x 4) (a x b) = 8ab
