1

A quadrilateral is a shape with __________ sides.

91% Answer Correctly

5

3

4

2


Solution

A quadrilateral is a shape with four sides. The perimeter of a quadrilateral is the sum of the lengths of its four sides.


2

If the area of this square is 64, what is the length of one of the diagonals?

68% Answer Correctly
2\( \sqrt{2} \)
3\( \sqrt{2} \)
8\( \sqrt{2} \)
6\( \sqrt{2} \)

Solution

To find the diagonal we need to know the length of one of the square's sides. We know the area and the area of a square is the length of one side squared:

a = s2

so the length of one side of the square is:

s = \( \sqrt{a} \) = \( \sqrt{64} \) = 8

The Pythagorean theorem defines the square of the hypotenuse (diagonal) of a triangle with a right angle as the sum of the squares of the other two sides:

c2 = a2 + b2
c2 = 82 + 82
c2 = 128
c = \( \sqrt{128} \) = \( \sqrt{64 x 2} \) = \( \sqrt{64} \) \( \sqrt{2} \)
c = 8\( \sqrt{2} \)


3

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

24% Answer Correctly

c = π r2

c = π d2

c = π d

c = π r


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.


4

Which types of triangles will always have at least two sides of equal length?

54% Answer Correctly

equilateral, isosceles and right

equilateral and right

isosceles and right

equilateral and isosceles


Solution

An isosceles triangle has two sides of equal length. An equilateral triangle has three sides of equal length. In a right triangle, two sides meet at a right angle.


5

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

68% Answer Correctly

h x l x w

2lw x 2wh + 2lh

lw x wh + lh

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.
