1

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

52% Answer Correctly

triangle

rhombus

quadrilateral

trapezoid


Solution

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


2

Solve for y:
-3y - 7 > 4 + 4y

55% Answer Correctly
y > -\(\frac{1}{2}\)
y > -1\(\frac{1}{8}\)
y > -1\(\frac{4}{7}\)
y > -1\(\frac{1}{6}\)

Solution

To solve this equation, repeatedly do the same thing to both sides of the equation until the variable is isolated on one side of the > sign and the answer on the other.

-3y - 7 > 4 + 4y
-3y > 4 + 4y + 7
-3y - 4y > 4 + 7
-7y > 11
y > \( \frac{11}{-7} \)
y > -1\(\frac{4}{7}\)


3

If side a = 3, side b = 2, what is the length of the hypotenuse of this right triangle?

64% Answer Correctly
\( \sqrt{145} \)
\( \sqrt{13} \)
5
\( \sqrt{85} \)

Solution

According to the Pythagorean theorem, the hypotenuse squared is equal to the sum of the two perpendicular sides squared:

c2 = a2 + b2
c2 = 32 + 22
c2 = 9 + 4
c2 = 13
c = \( \sqrt{13} \)


4

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

24% Answer Correctly

c = π r2

c = π r

c = π d2

c = π d


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.


5

Which of the following statements about a parallelogram is not true?

50% Answer Correctly

the area of a parallelogram is base x height

a parallelogram is a quadrilateral

opposite sides and adjacent angles are equal

the perimeter of a parallelogram is the sum of the lengths of all sides


Solution

A parallelogram is a quadrilateral with two sets of parallel sides. Opposite sides (a = c, b = d) and angles (red = red, blue = blue) are equal. The area of a parallelogram is base x height and the perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all sides (a + b + c + d).
