1

The dimensions of this trapezoid are a = 6, b = 3, c = 8, d = 8, and h = 4. What is the area?

51% Answer Correctly
8
22
10\(\frac{1}{2}\)
32\(\frac{1}{2}\)

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(3 + 8)(4)
a = ½(11)(4)
a = ½(44) = \( \frac{44}{2} \)
a = 22


2

A quadrilateral is a shape with __________ sides.

91% Answer Correctly

5

3

4

2


Solution

A quadrilateral is a shape with four sides. The perimeter of a quadrilateral is the sum of the lengths of its four sides.


3

Solve for a:
9a - 7 = \( \frac{a}{1} \)

46% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{7}{8}\)
\(\frac{2}{9}\)
1\(\frac{7}{9}\)
\(\frac{12}{43}\)

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.

9a - 7 = \( \frac{a}{1} \)
1 x (9a - 7) = a
(1 x 9a) + (1 x -7) = a
9a - 7 = a
9a - 7 - a = 0
9a - a = 7
8a = 7
a = \( \frac{7}{8} \)
a = \(\frac{7}{8}\)


4

If a = 6, b = 3, c = 8, and d = 9, what is the perimeter of this quadrilateral?

88% Answer Correctly
19
26
23
13

Solution

Perimeter is equal to the sum of the four sides:

p = a + b + c + d
p = 6 + 3 + 8 + 9
p = 26


5

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

50% Answer Correctly

the area of a parallelogram is base x height

a parallelogram is a quadrilateral

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

opposite sides and adjacent angles are equal


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).
