1

The dimensions of this trapezoid are a = 5, b = 6, c = 7, d = 9, and h = 4. What is the area?

50% Answer Correctly
22\(\frac{1}{2}\)
12
14
30

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(6 + 9)(4)
a = ½(15)(4)
a = ½(60) = \( \frac{60}{2} \)
a = 30


2

Solve for a:
2a + 2 = \( \frac{a}{8} \)

46% Answer Correctly
-1\(\frac{1}{15}\)
\(\frac{30}{41}\)
-\(\frac{2}{19}\)
-\(\frac{36}{73}\)

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 equal sign and the answer on the other.

2a + 2 = \( \frac{a}{8} \)
8 x (2a + 2) = a
(8 x 2a) + (8 x 2) = a
16a + 16 = a
16a + 16 - a = 0
16a - a = -16
15a = -16
a = \( \frac{-16}{15} \)
a = -1\(\frac{1}{15}\)


3

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

75% Answer Correctly

right, obtuse, acute

acute, right, obtuse

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°.


4

Solve for a:
a2 - 36 = 0

58% Answer Correctly
9 or -2
-3 or -9
8 or 1
6 or -6

Solution

The first step to solve a quadratic equation that's set to zero is to factor the quadratic equation:

a2 - 36 = 0
(a - 6)(a + 6) = 0

For this expression to be true, the left side of the expression must equal zero. Therefore, either (a - 6) or (a + 6) must equal zero:

If (a - 6) = 0, a must equal 6
If (a + 6) = 0, a must equal -6

So the solution is that a = 6 or -6


5

The formula for volume of a cube in terms of height (h), length (l), and width (w) is which of the following?

67% Answer Correctly

2lw x 2wh + 2lh

lw x wh + lh

h x l x w

h2 x l2 x w2


Solution

A cube is a rectangular solid box with a height (h), length (l), and width (w). The volume is h x l x w and the surface area is 2lw x 2wh + 2lh.
