1

A quadrilateral is a shape with __________ sides.

91% Answer Correctly

2

3

5

4


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

24% Answer Correctly

c = π d

c = π r

c = π d2

c = π r2


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.


3

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

53% Answer Correctly

4π r2

π r2h2

π r2h

2(π r2) + 2π rh


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.


4

Simplify (y - 3)(y + 9)

63% Answer Correctly
y2 - 6y - 27
y2 + 12y + 27
y2 - 12y + 27
y2 + 6y - 27

Solution

To multiply binomials, use the FOIL method. FOIL stands for First, Outside, Inside, Last and refers to the position of each term in the parentheses:

(y - 3)(y + 9)
(y x y) + (y x 9) + (-3 x y) + (-3 x 9)
y2 + 9y - 3y - 27
y2 + 6y - 27


5

If the base of this triangle is 1 and the height is 7, what is the area?

58% Answer Correctly
3\(\frac{1}{2}\)
31\(\frac{1}{2}\)
77
82\(\frac{1}{2}\)

Solution

The area of a triangle is equal to ½ base x height:

a = ½bh
a = ½ x 1 x 7 = \( \frac{7}{2} \) = 3\(\frac{1}{2}\)
