1

A quadrilateral is a shape with __________ sides.

91% Answer Correctly

4

5

3

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

The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 4 and radius (r) = 5. What is the surface area?

48% Answer Correctly
198π
90π
224π
168π

Solution

The surface area of a cylinder is 2πr2 + 2πrh:

sa = 2πr2 + 2πrh
sa = 2π(52) + 2π(5 x 4)
sa = 2π(25) + 2π(20)
sa = (2 x 25)π + (2 x 20)π
sa = 50π + 40π
sa = 90π


3

Solve 2a - 5a = -3a + 4x + 5 for a in terms of x.

34% Answer Correctly
-\(\frac{10}{13}\)x - \(\frac{8}{13}\)
2x + 2
1\(\frac{4}{5}\)x + 1
1\(\frac{3}{8}\)x + \(\frac{1}{8}\)

Solution

To solve this equation, isolate the variable for which you are solving (a) on one side of the equation and put everything else on the other side.

2a - 5x = -3a + 4x + 5
2a = -3a + 4x + 5 + 5x
2a + 3a = 4x + 5 + 5x
5a = 9x + 5
a = \( \frac{9x + 5}{5} \)
a = \( \frac{9x}{5} \) + \( \frac{5}{5} \)
a = 1\(\frac{4}{5}\)x + 1


4

The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, 7) and (2, -3). What is the slope of this line?

46% Answer Correctly
2\(\frac{1}{2}\)
2
1\(\frac{1}{2}\)
-2\(\frac{1}{2}\)

Solution

The slope of this line is the change in y divided by the change in x. The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, 7) and (2, -3) so the slope becomes:

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(-3.0) - (7.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{-10}{4} \)
m = -2\(\frac{1}{2}\)


5

If a = c = 5, b = d = 8, what is the area of this rectangle?

80% Answer Correctly
40
42
20
24

Solution

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

a = l x w
a = a x b
a = 5 x 8
a = 40
