The dimensions of this trapezoid are a = 5, b = 7, c = 6, d = 4, and h = 3. What is the area?
| 21 | |
| 22 | |
| 16\(\frac{1}{2}\) | |
| 8 |
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(7 + 4)(3)
a = ½(11)(3)
a = ½(33) = \( \frac{33}{2} \)
a = 16\(\frac{1}{2}\)
If c = 4 and z = -3, what is the value of c(c - z)?
| -126 | |
| 260 | |
| 180 | |

To solve this equation, 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.)
c(c - z)
1(4)(4 + 3)
1(4)(7)
(4)(7)

The formula for volume of a cube in terms of height (h), length (l), and width (w) is which of the following?
lw x wh + lh |
|
h x l x w |
|
2lw x 2wh + 2lh |
|
h2 x l2 x w2 |
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.
A(n) __________ is two expressions separated by an equal sign.

expression |
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.
Which of the following is not true about both rectangles and squares?
the area is length x width |
|
the perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all four sides |
|
the lengths of all sides are equal |
|
all interior angles are right angles |
A rectangle is a parallelogram containing four right angles. Opposite sides (a = c, b = d) are equal and the perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all sides (a + b + c + d) or, comonly, 2 x length x width. The area of a rectangle is length x width. A square is a rectangle with four equal length sides. The perimeter of a square is 4 x length of one side (4s) and the area is the length of one side squared (s2).
