1

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.


2

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

52% Answer Correctly

π r2h2

2(π r2) + 2π rh

π r2h

4π r2


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.


3

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

opposite sides and adjacent angles are equal

the area of a parallelogram is base x height


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).


4

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

24% Answer Correctly

c = π r

c = π r2

c = π d

c = π d2


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.


5

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

74% Answer Correctly

right, obtuse, acute

right, acute, obtuse

acute, right, 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°.
