1

If a = 2, b = 9, c = 3, and d = 5, what is the perimeter of this quadrilateral?

88% Answer Correctly
28
21
20
19

Solution

Perimeter is equal to the sum of the four sides:

p = a + b + c + d
p = 2 + 9 + 3 + 5
p = 19


2

Which of the following is not true about both rectangles and squares?

63% Answer Correctly

all interior angles are right angles

the lengths of all sides are equal

the perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all four sides

the area is length x width


Solution

A rectangle is a parallelogram containing four right angles. Opposite sides (a = c, b = d) are equal and the perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all sides (a + b + c + d) or, comonly, 2 x length x width. The area of a rectangle is length x width. A square is a rectangle with four equal length sides. The perimeter of a square is 4 x length of one side (4s) and the area is the length of one side squared (s2).


3

If side x = 13cm, side y = 15cm, and side z = 8cm what is the perimeter of this triangle?

84% Answer Correctly
32cm
37cm
21cm
36cm

Solution

The perimeter of a triangle is the sum of the lengths of its sides:

p = x + y + z
p = 13cm + 15cm + 8cm = 36cm


4

A(n) __________ is two expressions separated by an equal sign.

76% Answer Correctly

expression

problem

formula

equation


Solution

An equation is two expressions separated by an equal sign. The key to solving equations is to repeatedly do the same thing to both sides of the equation until the variable is isolated on one side of the equal sign and the answer on the other.


5

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

53% Answer Correctly

π r2h

4π r2

π r2h2

2(π r2) + 2π rh


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.
