1

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

51% Answer Correctly

rhombus

quadrilateral

trapezoid

triangle


Solution

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


2

A right angle measures:

90% Answer Correctly

360°

90°

45°

180°


Solution

A right angle measures 90 degrees and is the intersection of two perpendicular lines. In diagrams, a right angle is indicated by a small box completing a square with the perpendicular lines.


3

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

77% Answer Correctly

a = π r

a = π d2

a = π r2

a = π d


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.


4

If the area of this square is 64, what is the length of one of the diagonals?

68% Answer Correctly
8\( \sqrt{2} \)
9\( \sqrt{2} \)
\( \sqrt{2} \)
2\( \sqrt{2} \)

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 = \( \sqrt{a} \) = \( \sqrt{64} \) = 8

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 = 82 + 82
c2 = 128
c = \( \sqrt{128} \) = \( \sqrt{64 x 2} \) = \( \sqrt{64} \) \( \sqrt{2} \)
c = 8\( \sqrt{2} \)


5

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

88% Answer Correctly

exponents

division

addition

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.)
