1

Simplify (y - 2)(y - 3)

63% Answer Correctly
y2 - y - 6
y2 + 5y + 6
y2 + y - 6
y2 - 5y + 6

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 - 2)(y - 3)
(y x y) + (y x -3) + (-2 x y) + (-2 x -3)
y2 - 3y - 2y + 6
y2 - 5y + 6

If a = c = 5, b = d = 2, and the blue angle = 72°, what is the area of this parallelogram?

65% Answer Correctly
10
14
42
8

Solution

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

a = l x w
a = a x b
a = 5 x 2
a = 10


3

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.


4

A right angle measures:

90% Answer Correctly

360°

90°

45°

180°


Solution

A right angle measures 90 degrees and is the intersection of two perpendicular lines. In diagrams, a right angle is indicated by a small box completing a square with the perpendicular lines.


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

the area is length x width

all interior angles are right angles

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).
