1

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

51% Answer Correctly

triangle

rhombus

trapezoid

quadrilateral


Solution

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


2

Simplify (y + 3)(y - 5)

63% Answer Correctly
y2 + 8y + 15
y2 - 8y + 15
y2 + 2y - 15
y2 - 2y - 15

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 + 3)(y - 5)
(y x y) + (y x -5) + (3 x y) + (3 x -5)
y2 - 5y + 3y - 15
y2 - 2y - 15


3

If the base of this triangle is 5 and the height is 5, what is the area?

58% Answer Correctly
12\(\frac{1}{2}\)
25
82\(\frac{1}{2}\)
32

Solution

The area of a triangle is equal to ½ base x height:

a = ½bh
a = ½ x 5 x 5 = \( \frac{25}{2} \) = 12\(\frac{1}{2}\)


4

The formula for the area of a circle is which of the following?

77% Answer Correctly

a = π r

a = π r2

a = π d

a = π d2


Solution

The circumference of a circle is the distance around its perimeter and equals π (approx. 3.14159) x diameter: c = π d. The area of a circle is π x (radius)2 : a = π r2.


5

Simplify (9a)(2ab) - (8a2)(6b).

62% Answer Correctly
154ab2
66a2b
-30a2b
30ab2

Solution

To multiply monomials, multiply the coefficients (the numbers that come before the variables) of each term, add the exponents of like variables, and multiply the different variables together.

(9a)(2ab) - (8a2)(6b)
(9 x 2)(a x a x b) - (8 x 6)(a2 x b)
(18)(a1+1 x b) - (48)(a2b)
18a2b - 48a2b
-30a2b
