1

A quadrilateral is a shape with __________ sides.

90% Answer Correctly

4

3

2

5


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

Which of the following statements about parallel lines with a transversal is not correct?

36% Answer Correctly

same-side interior angles are complementary and equal each other

all acute angles equal each other

angles in the same position on different parallel lines are called corresponding angles

all of the angles formed by a transversal are called interior angles


Solution

Parallel lines are lines that share the same slope (steepness) and therefore never intersect. A transversal occurs when a set of parallel lines are crossed by another line. All of the angles formed by a transversal are called interior angles and angles in the same position on different parallel lines equal each other (a° = w°, b° = x°, c° = z°, d° = y°) and are called corresponding angles. Alternate interior angles are equal (a° = z°, b° = y°, c° = w°, d° = x°) and 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°).


3

The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 1 and radius (r) = 8. What is the surface area?

48% Answer Correctly
54π
224π
40π
144π

Solution

The surface area of a cylinder is 2πr2 + 2πrh:

sa = 2πr2 + 2πrh
sa = 2π(82) + 2π(8 x 1)
sa = 2π(64) + 2π(8)
sa = (2 x 64)π + (2 x 8)π
sa = 128π + 16π
sa = 144π


4

Solve -4b - 4b = 6b + x - 7 for b in terms of x.

34% Answer Correctly
2\(\frac{1}{2}\)x - 1
-\(\frac{1}{2}\)x + \(\frac{7}{10}\)
-1\(\frac{1}{2}\)x - 1\(\frac{3}{4}\)
-2\(\frac{1}{5}\)x + 1

Solution

To solve this equation, isolate the variable for which you are solving (b) on one side of the equation and put everything else on the other side.

-4b - 4x = 6b + x - 7
-4b = 6b + x - 7 + 4x
-4b - 6b = x - 7 + 4x
-10b = 5x - 7
b = \( \frac{5x - 7}{-10} \)
b = \( \frac{5x}{-10} \) + \( \frac{-7}{-10} \)
b = -\(\frac{1}{2}\)x + \(\frac{7}{10}\)


5

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

76% Answer Correctly

a = π r2

a = π r

a = π d

a = 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.
