1

If a = c = 6, b = d = 2, what is the area of this rectangle?

80% Answer Correctly
2
12
30
9

Solution

The area of a rectangle is equal to its length x width:

a = l x w
a = a x b
a = 6 x 2
a = 12


2

The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 5 and radius (r) = 1. What is the volume?

62% Answer Correctly
20π
144π

Solution

The volume of a cylinder is πr2h:

v = πr2h
v = π(12 x 5)
v = 5π


3

For this diagram, the Pythagorean theorem states that b2 = ?

47% Answer Correctly

c2 + a2

c - a

c2 - a2

a2 - c2


Solution

The Pythagorean theorem defines the relationship between the side lengths of a right triangle. The length of the hypotenuse squared (c2) is equal to the sum of the two perpendicular sides squared (a2 + b2): c2 = a2 + b2 or, solved for c, \(c = \sqrt{a + b}\)


4

Solve for z:
z2 - 4z - 5 = -3z - 3

48% Answer Correctly
2 or -3
8 or 4
3 or -5
-1 or 2

Solution

The first step to solve a quadratic expression that's not set to zero is to solve the equation so that it is set to zero:

z2 - 4z - 5 = -3z - 3
z2 - 4z - 5 + 3 = -3z
z2 - 4z + 3z - 2 = 0
z2 - z - 2 = 0

Next, factor the quadratic equation:

z2 - z - 2 = 0
(z + 1)(z - 2) = 0

For this expression to be true, the left side of the expression must equal zero. Therefore, either (z + 1) or (z - 2) must equal zero:

If (z + 1) = 0, z must equal -1
If (z - 2) = 0, z must equal 2

So the solution is that z = -1 or 2


5

A quadrilateral is a shape with __________ sides.

90% Answer Correctly

2

3

4

5


Solution

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