1

Which of the following expressions contains exactly two terms?

81% Answer Correctly

polynomial

monomial

binomial

quadratic


Solution

A monomial contains one term, a binomial contains two terms, and a polynomial contains more than two terms.


2

Which of the following statements about a parallelogram is not true?

49% Answer Correctly

the perimeter of a parallelogram is the sum of the lengths of all sides

the area of a parallelogram is base x height

opposite sides and adjacent angles are equal

a parallelogram is a quadrilateral


Solution

A parallelogram is a quadrilateral with two sets of parallel sides. Opposite sides (a = c, b = d) and angles (red = red, blue = blue) are equal. The area of a parallelogram is base x height and the perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all sides (a + b + c + d).


3

The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, 7) and (2, -3). What is the slope of this line?

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

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, 7) and (2, -3) so the slope becomes:

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(-3.0) - (7.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{-10}{4} \)
m = -2\(\frac{1}{2}\)


4

The dimensions of this cube are height (h) = 4, length (l) = 6, and width (w) = 2. What is the surface area?

51% Answer Correctly
88
130
306
22

Solution

The surface area of a cube is (2 x length x width) + (2 x width x height) + (2 x length x height):

sa = 2lw + 2wh + 2lh
sa = (2 x 6 x 2) + (2 x 2 x 4) + (2 x 6 x 4)
sa = (24) + (16) + (48)
sa = 88


5

If angle a = 20° and angle b = 50° what is the length of angle c?

70% Answer Correctly
88°
93°
110°
99°

Solution

The sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°:
180° = a° + b° + c°
c° = 180° - a° - b°
c° = 180° - 20° - 50° = 110°
