1

The dimensions of this trapezoid are a = 5, b = 5, c = 7, d = 6, and h = 4. What is the area?

51% Answer Correctly
10
8
12
22

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(5 + 6)(4)
a = ½(11)(4)
a = ½(44) = \( \frac{44}{2} \)
a = 22


2

Breaking apart a quadratic expression into a pair of binomials is called:

75% Answer Correctly

deconstructing

factoring

normalizing

squaring


Solution

To factor a quadratic expression, apply the FOIL (First, Outside, Inside, Last) method in reverse.


3

The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 4 and radius (r) = 3. What is the surface area?

48% Answer Correctly
196π
42π
198π

Solution

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

sa = 2πr2 + 2πrh
sa = 2π(32) + 2π(3 x 4)
sa = 2π(9) + 2π(12)
sa = (2 x 9)π + (2 x 12)π
sa = 18π + 24π
sa = 42π


4

If the area of this square is 9, what is the length of one of the diagonals?

68% Answer Correctly
4\( \sqrt{2} \)
2\( \sqrt{2} \)
3\( \sqrt{2} \)
5\( \sqrt{2} \)

Solution

To find the diagonal we need to know the length of one of the square's sides. We know the area and the area of a square is the length of one side squared:

a = s2

so the length of one side of the square is:

s = \( \sqrt{a} \) = \( \sqrt{9} \) = 3

The Pythagorean theorem defines the square of the hypotenuse (diagonal) of a triangle with a right angle as the sum of the squares of the other two sides:

c2 = a2 + b2
c2 = 32 + 32
c2 = 18
c = \( \sqrt{18} \) = \( \sqrt{9 x 2} \) = \( \sqrt{9} \) \( \sqrt{2} \)
c = 3\( \sqrt{2} \)


5

Which of the following is not a part of PEMDAS, the acronym for math order of operations?

91% Answer Correctly

division

addition

exponents

pairs


Solution

When solving an equation with two variables, replace the variables with the values given and then solve the now variable-free equation. (Remember order of operations, PEMDAS, Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication/Division, Addition/Subtraction.)
