1

If a = c = 1, b = d = 2, and the blue angle = 65°, what is the area of this parallelogram?

65% Answer Correctly
12
56
9
2

Solution

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

a = l x w
a = a x b
a = 1 x 2
a = 2


2

A cylinder with a radius (r) and a height (h) has a surface area of:

53% Answer Correctly

π r2h2

2(π r2) + 2π rh

π r2h

4π r2


Solution

A cylinder is a solid figure with straight parallel sides and a circular or oval cross section with a radius (r) and a height (h). The volume of a cylinder is π r2h and the surface area is 2(π r2) + 2π rh.


3

Which of the following statements about math operations is incorrect?

70% Answer Correctly

you can add monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent

you can multiply monomials that have different variables and different exponents

you can subtract monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent

all of these statements are correct


Solution

You can only add or subtract monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent. For example, 2a + 4a = 6a and 4a2 - a2 = 3a2 but 2a + 4b and 7a - 3b cannot be combined. However, you can multiply and divide monomials with unlike terms. For example, 2a x 6b = 12ab.

Simplify (y - 9)(y - 5)

63% Answer Correctly
y2 - 4y - 45
y2 + 14y + 45
y2 - 14y + 45
y2 + 4y - 45

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 - 9)(y - 5)
(y x y) + (y x -5) + (-9 x y) + (-9 x -5)
y2 - 5y - 9y + 45
y2 - 14y + 45


5

If angle a = 64° and angle b = 31° what is the length of angle d?

56% Answer Correctly
143°
137°
139°
116°

Solution

An exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the two interior angles that are opposite:

d° = b° + c°

To find angle c, remember that the sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°:

180° = a° + b° + c°
c° = 180° - a° - b°
c° = 180° - 64° - 31° = 85°

So, d° = 31° + 85° = 116°

A shortcut to get this answer is to remember that angles around a line add up to 180°:

a° + d° = 180°
d° = 180° - a°
d° = 180° - 64° = 116°
