1

If a = c = 5, b = d = 9, and the blue angle = 61°, what is the area of this parallelogram?

66% Answer Correctly
7
45
30
9

Solution

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

a = l x w
a = a x b
a = 5 x 9
a = 45


2

Simplify 8a x 9b.

86% Answer Correctly
72a2b2
72\( \frac{b}{a} \)
17ab
72ab

Solution

To multiply monomials, multiply the coefficients (the numbers that come before the variables) of each term, add the exponents of like variables, and multiply the different variables together.

8a x 9b = (8 x 9) (a x b) = 72ab


3

The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, 3) and (2, 1). What is the slope of this line?

46% Answer Correctly
-2
-\(\frac{1}{2}\)
-2\(\frac{1}{2}\)
-1

Solution

The slope of this line is the change in y divided by the change in x. The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, 3) and (2, 1) so the slope becomes:

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(1.0) - (3.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{-2}{4} \)
m = -\(\frac{1}{2}\)


4

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

63% Answer Correctly

all interior angles are right angles

the lengths of all sides are equal

the area is length x width

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


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).


5

On this circle, a line segment connecting point A to point D is called:

46% Answer Correctly

diameter

radius

chord

circumference


Solution

A circle is a figure in which each point around its perimeter is an equal distance from the center. The radius of a circle is the distance between the center and any point along its perimeter. A chord is a line segment that connects any two points along its perimeter. The diameter of a circle is the length of a chord that passes through the center of the circle and equals twice the circle's radius (2r).
