1

If a = c = 2, b = d = 3, and the blue angle = 55°, what is the area of this parallelogram?

65% Answer Correctly
72
6
35
24

Solution

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

a = l x w
a = a x b
a = 2 x 3
a = 6


2

Order the following types of angle from least number of degrees to most number of degrees.

75% Answer Correctly

acute, right, obtuse

right, obtuse, acute

right, acute, obtuse

acute, obtuse, right


Solution

An acute angle measures less than 90°, a right angle measures 90°, and an obtuse angle measures more than 90°.


3

Solve for y:
-4y + 5 > \( \frac{y}{-7} \)

44% Answer Correctly
y > \(\frac{6}{7}\)
y > \(\frac{36}{41}\)
y > 1\(\frac{8}{27}\)
y > \(\frac{5}{8}\)

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.

-4y + 5 > \( \frac{y}{-7} \)
-7 x (-4y + 5) > y
(-7 x -4y) + (-7 x 5) > y
28y - 35 > y
28y - 35 - y > 0
28y - y > 35
27y > 35
y > \( \frac{35}{27} \)
y > 1\(\frac{8}{27}\)


4

A(n) __________ is to a parallelogram as a square is to a rectangle.

51% Answer Correctly

quadrilateral

rhombus

triangle

trapezoid


Solution

A rhombus is a parallelogram with four equal-length sides. A square is a rectangle with four equal-length sides.


5

Find the value of b:
-8b + z = -1
9b - 4z = -3

42% Answer Correctly
-\(\frac{2}{5}\)
1\(\frac{2}{57}\)
\(\frac{7}{23}\)
-\(\frac{3}{14}\)

Solution

You need to find the value of b so solve the first equation in terms of z:

-8b + z = -1
z = -1 + 8b

then substitute the result (-1 - -8b) into the second equation:

9b - 4(-1 + 8b) = -3
9b + (-4 x -1) + (-4 x 8b) = -3
9b + 4 - 32b = -3
9b - 32b = -3 - 4
-23b = -7
b = \( \frac{-7}{-23} \)
b = \(\frac{7}{23}\)
