1

The dimensions of this trapezoid are a = 5, b = 6, c = 8, d = 6, and h = 3. What is the area?

51% Answer Correctly
18
27
11
22\(\frac{1}{2}\)

Solution

The area of a trapezoid is one-half the sum of the lengths of the parallel sides multiplied by the height:

a = ½(b + d)(h)
a = ½(6 + 6)(3)
a = ½(12)(3)
a = ½(36) = \( \frac{36}{2} \)
a = 18


2

Solve for x:
-9x - 1 = -6 - 5x

60% Answer Correctly
-\(\frac{1}{2}\)
\(\frac{1}{2}\)
-\(\frac{8}{9}\)
1\(\frac{1}{4}\)

Solution

To solve this equation, repeatedly do the same thing to both sides of the equation until the variable is isolated on one side of the equal sign and the answer on the other.

-9x - 1 = -6 - 5x
-9x = -6 - 5x + 1
-9x + 5x = -6 + 1
-4x = -5
x = \( \frac{-5}{-4} \)
x = 1\(\frac{1}{4}\)


3

The formula for volume of a cube in terms of height (h), length (l), and width (w) is which of the following?

68% Answer Correctly

h x l x w

lw x wh + lh

2lw x 2wh + 2lh

h2 x l2 x w2


Solution

A cube is a rectangular solid box with a height (h), length (l), and width (w). The volume is h x l x w and the surface area is 2lw x 2wh + 2lh.


4

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

78% Answer Correctly

a = π d2

a = π d

a = π r

a = π r2


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.

Simplify 2a x 9b.

86% Answer Correctly
18a2b2
18\( \frac{a}{b} \)
18ab
11ab

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.

2a x 9b = (2 x 9) (a x b) = 18ab
