1

If a = 8, b = 9, c = 5, and d = 8, what is the perimeter of this quadrilateral?

89% Answer Correctly
23
13
30
28

Solution

Perimeter is equal to the sum of the four sides:

p = a + b + c + d
p = 8 + 9 + 5 + 8
p = 30


2

What is 4a - 4a?

80% Answer Correctly
2
0a
16a2
0

Solution

To combine like terms, add or subtract the coefficients (the numbers that come before the variables) of terms that have the same variable raised to the same exponent.

4a - 4a = 0a


3

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

54% Answer Correctly

2(π r2) + 2π rh

π r2h

4π r2

π r2h2


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.


4

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

h2 x l2 x w2

lw x wh + lh

2lw x 2wh + 2lh

h x l x w


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.


5

Which of the following statements about parallel lines with a transversal is not correct?

37% Answer Correctly

same-side interior angles are complementary and equal each other

all of the angles formed by a transversal are called interior angles

angles in the same position on different parallel lines are called corresponding angles

all acute angles equal each other


Solution

Parallel lines are lines that share the same slope (steepness) and therefore never intersect. A transversal occurs when a set of parallel lines are crossed by another line. All of the angles formed by a transversal are called interior angles and angles in the same position on different parallel lines equal each other (a° = w°, b° = x°, c° = z°, d° = y°) and are called corresponding angles. Alternate interior angles are equal (a° = z°, b° = y°, c° = w°, d° = x°) and 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°).
