1

The dimensions of this trapezoid are a = 4, b = 3, c = 5, d = 4, and h = 3. What is the area?

50% Answer Correctly
24
27\(\frac{1}{2}\)
10\(\frac{1}{2}\)
10

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 + 4)(3)
a = ½(7)(3)
a = ½(21) = \( \frac{21}{2} \)
a = 10\(\frac{1}{2}\)


2

Solve for c:
-2c + 1 < \( \frac{c}{1} \)

44% Answer Correctly
c < 5\(\frac{1}{3}\)
c < \(\frac{1}{3}\)
c < \(\frac{10}{17}\)
c < 3\(\frac{9}{11}\)

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 < sign and the answer on the other.

-2c + 1 < \( \frac{c}{1} \)
1 x (-2c + 1) < c
(1 x -2c) + (1 x 1) < c
-2c + 1 < c
-2c + 1 - c < 0
-2c - c < -1
-3c < -1
c < \( \frac{-1}{-3} \)
c < \(\frac{1}{3}\)


3

The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 3 and radius (r) = 1. What is the surface area?

48% Answer Correctly
110π
8π
20π
144π

Solution

The surface area of a cylinder is 2πr2 + 2πrh:

sa = 2πr2 + 2πrh
sa = 2π(12) + 2π(1 x 3)
sa = 2π(1) + 2π(3)
sa = (2 x 1)π + (2 x 3)π
sa = 2π + 6π
sa = 8π


4

This diagram represents two parallel lines with a transversal. If d° = 147, what is the value of a°?

72% Answer Correctly
33
166
12
20

Solution

For parallel lines with a transversal, the following relationships apply:

  • angles in the same position on different parallel lines equal each other (a° = w°, b° = x°, c° = z°, d° = y°)
  • alternate interior angles are equal (a° = z°, b° = y°, c° = w°, d° = x°)
  • all acute angles (a° = c° = w° = z°) and all obtuse angles (b° = d° = x° = y°) equal each other
  • same-side interior angles are supplementary and add up to 180° (e.g. a° + d° = 180°, d° + c° = 180°)

Applying these relationships starting with d° = 147, the value of a° is 33.


5

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

67% Answer Correctly

h2 x l2 x w2

2lw x 2wh + 2lh

h x l x w

lw x wh + lh


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.
