1

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

52% Answer Correctly

quadrilateral

rhombus

trapezoid

triangle


Solution

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


2

What is the circumference of a circle with a diameter of 4?

71% Answer Correctly
19π
10π

Solution

The formula for circumference is circle diameter x π:

c = πd
c = 4π


3

If angle a = 47° and angle b = 51° what is the length of angle c?

71% Answer Correctly
93°
91°
101°
82°

Solution

The sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°:
180° = a° + b° + c°
c° = 180° - a° - b°
c° = 180° - 47° - 51° = 82°


4

Breaking apart a quadratic expression into a pair of binomials is called:

75% Answer Correctly

normalizing

squaring

factoring

deconstructing


Solution

To factor a quadratic expression, apply the FOIL (First, Outside, Inside, Last) method in reverse.


5

Solve for y:
y2 + 13y + 36 = 0

59% Answer Correctly
-4 or -9
-1 or -2
6 or -1
-3 or -8

Solution

The first step to solve a quadratic equation that's set to zero is to factor the quadratic equation:

y2 + 13y + 36 = 0
(y + 4)(y + 9) = 0

For this expression to be true, the left side of the expression must equal zero. Therefore, either (y + 4) or (y + 9) must equal zero:

If (y + 4) = 0, y must equal -4
If (y + 9) = 0, y must equal -9

So the solution is that y = -4 or -9
