1

If a = 5, b = 5, c = 8, and d = 7, what is the perimeter of this quadrilateral?

88% Answer Correctly
25
28
18
27
Solution

Perimeter is equal to the sum of the four sides:

p = a + b + c + d
p = 5 + 5 + 8 + 7
p = 25

2

If a = c = 3, b = d = 2, what is the area of this rectangle?

79% Answer Correctly
42
64
24
6
Solution

The area of a rectangle is equal to its length x width:

a = l x w
a = a x b
a = 3 x 2
a = 6

3

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

51% Answer Correctly

trapezoid

quadrilateral

triangle

rhombus
Solution

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

4

Simplify (y - 8)(y - 2)

62% Answer Correctly
y2 - 6y - 16
y2 - 10y + 16
y2 + 10y + 16
y2 + 6y - 16
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 - 8)(y - 2)
(y x y) + (y x -2) + (-8 x y) + (-8 x -2)
y2 - 2y - 8y + 16
y2 - 10y + 16

5

If the base of this triangle is 3 and the height is 9, what is the area?

58% Answer Correctly
97\(\frac{1}{2}\)
90
44
13\(\frac{1}{2}\)
Solution

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

a = ½bh
a = ½ x 3 x 9 = \( \frac{27}{2} \) = 13\(\frac{1}{2}\)
