1

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

51% Answer Correctly

triangle

quadrilateral

rhombus

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 5a3 + 3a3?

75% Answer Correctly
2
8a3
8
8a6

Solution

To combine like terms, add or subtract the coefficients (the numbers that come before the variables) of terms that have the same variable raised to the same exponent.

5a3 + 3a3 = 8a3


3

Solve for y:
-8y + 1 < -1 - 7y

55% Answer Correctly
y < 1
y < -4
y < 2
y < -\(\frac{2}{7}\)

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.

-8y + 1 < -1 - 7y
-8y < -1 - 7y - 1
-8y + 7y < -1 - 1
-y < -2
y < \( \frac{-2}{-1} \)
y < 2


4

Solve for a:
-9a + 6 = 5 - 6a

59% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{1}{3}\)
-\(\frac{1}{2}\)
1\(\frac{1}{2}\)
2\(\frac{1}{4}\)

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 equal sign and the answer on the other.

-9a + 6 = 5 - 6a
-9a = 5 - 6a - 6
-9a + 6a = 5 - 6
-3a = -1
a = \( \frac{-1}{-3} \)
a = \(\frac{1}{3}\)


5

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

49% Answer Correctly

the perimeter of a parallelogram is the sum of the lengths of all sides

a parallelogram is a quadrilateral

the area of a parallelogram is base x height

opposite sides and adjacent angles are equal


Solution

A parallelogram is a quadrilateral with two sets of parallel sides. Opposite sides (a = c, b = d) and angles (red = red, blue = blue) are equal. The area of a parallelogram is base x height and the perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all sides (a + b + c + d).
