1

If a = c = 5, b = d = 4, what is the area of this rectangle?

79% Answer Correctly
45
18
20
30

Solution

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

a = l x w
a = a x b
a = 5 x 4
a = 20


2

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

63% Answer Correctly

the lengths of all sides are equal

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

all interior angles are right angles

the area is length x width


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).


3

What is the area of a circle with a radius of 5?

69% Answer Correctly
64π
36π
25π

Solution

The formula for area is πr2:

a = πr2
a = π(52)
a = 25π


4

Simplify (y + 6)(y + 6)

62% Answer Correctly
y2 - 12y + 36
y2 + 12y + 36
57
y2 - 36

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 + 6)(y + 6)
(y x y) + (y x 6) + (6 x y) + (6 x 6)
y2 + 6y + 6y + 36
y2 + 12y + 36


5

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

51% Answer Correctly

rhombus

quadrilateral

triangle

trapezoid


Solution

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