1

If the base of this triangle is 7 and the height is 4, what is the area?

58% Answer Correctly
20
14
17\(\frac{1}{2}\)
25

Solution

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

a = ½bh
a = ½ x 7 x 4 = \( \frac{28}{2} \) = 14


2

This diagram represents two parallel lines with a transversal. If w° = 31, what is the value of b°?

73% Answer Correctly
34
23
149
19

Solution

For parallel lines with a transversal, the following relationships apply:

  • angles in the same position on different parallel lines equal each other (a° = w°, b° = x°, c° = z°, d° = y°)
  • alternate interior angles are equal (a° = z°, b° = y°, c° = w°, d° = x°)
  • all acute angles (a° = c° = w° = z°) and all obtuse angles (b° = d° = x° = y°) equal each other
  • same-side interior angles are supplementary and add up to 180° (e.g. a° + d° = 180°, d° + c° = 180°)

Applying these relationships starting with w° = 31, the value of b° is 149.


3

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

54% 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.


4

What is the circumference of a circle with a diameter of 16?

71% Answer Correctly
16π

Solution

The formula for circumference is circle diameter x π:

c = πd
c = 16π


5

Which of the following is not true about both rectangles and squares?

63% Answer Correctly

the perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all four sides

all interior angles are right angles

the area is length x width

the lengths of all sides are equal


Solution

A rectangle is a parallelogram containing four right angles. Opposite sides (a = c, b = d) are equal and the perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all sides (a + b + c + d) or, comonly, 2 x length x width. The area of a rectangle is length x width. A square is a rectangle with four equal length sides. The perimeter of a square is 4 x length of one side (4s) and the area is the length of one side squared (s2).
