1

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

51% Answer Correctly

quadrilateral

rhombus

triangle

trapezoid


Solution

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


2

What is the area of a circle with a diameter of 6?

69% Answer Correctly
16π

Solution

The formula for area is πr2. Radius is circle \( \frac{diameter}{2} \):

r = \( \frac{d}{2} \)
r = \( \frac{6}{2} \)
r = 3
a = πr2
a = π(32)
a = 9π


3

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

88% Answer Correctly

division

addition

pairs

exponents


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.)


4

Solve for b:
-3b - 2 < -4 + 5b

54% Answer Correctly
b < \(\frac{7}{9}\)
b < \(\frac{3}{4}\)
b < \(\frac{1}{8}\)
b < \(\frac{1}{4}\)

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 < sign and the answer on the other.

-3b - 2 < -4 + 5b
-3b < -4 + 5b + 2
-3b - 5b < -4 + 2
-8b < -2
b < \( \frac{-2}{-8} \)
b < \(\frac{1}{4}\)


5

Which of the following statements about a triangle is not true?

57% Answer Correctly

sum of interior angles = 180°

area = ½bh

perimeter = sum of side lengths

exterior angle = sum of two adjacent interior angles


Solution

A triangle is a three-sided polygon. It has three interior angles that add up to 180° (a + b + c = 180°). An exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the two interior angles that are opposite (d = b + c). The perimeter of a triangle is equal to the sum of the lengths of its three sides, the height of a triangle is equal to the length from the base to the opposite vertex (angle) and the area equals one-half triangle base x height: a = ½ base x height.
