1

A(n) __________ is to a parallelogram as a square is to a rectangle.

52% Answer Correctly

triangle

trapezoid

quadrilateral

rhombus


Solution

A rhombus is a parallelogram with four equal-length sides. A square is a rectangle with four equal-length sides.


2

Simplify 4a x 3b.

86% Answer Correctly
12ab
12a2b2
12\( \frac{b}{a} \)
7ab

Solution

To multiply monomials, multiply the coefficients (the numbers that come before the variables) of each term, add the exponents of like variables, and multiply the different variables together.

4a x 3b = (4 x 3) (a x b) = 12ab


3

If angle a = 23° and angle b = 43° what is the length of angle d?

56% Answer Correctly
126°
127°
125°
157°

Solution

An exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the two interior angles that are opposite:

d° = b° + c°

To find angle c, remember that the sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°:

180° = a° + b° + c°
c° = 180° - a° - b°
c° = 180° - 23° - 43° = 114°

So, d° = 43° + 114° = 157°

A shortcut to get this answer is to remember that angles around a line add up to 180°:

a° + d° = 180°
d° = 180° - a°
d° = 180° - 23° = 157°


4

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

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

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\( \sqrt{2} \)


5

The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 7 and radius (r) = 3. What is the volume?

63% Answer Correctly
81π
64π
50π
63π

Solution

The volume of a cylinder is πr2h:

v = πr2h
v = π(32 x 7)
v = 63π
