1

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

52% Answer Correctly

trapezoid

rhombus

quadrilateral

triangle


Solution

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


2

Solve for y:
8y - 6 > \( \frac{y}{-7} \)

44% Answer Correctly
y > \(\frac{14}{19}\)
y > 1\(\frac{1}{41}\)
y > \(\frac{6}{13}\)
y > 4\(\frac{1}{6}\)

Solution

To solve this equation, repeatedly do the same thing to both sides of the equation until the variable is isolated on one side of the > sign and the answer on the other.

8y - 6 > \( \frac{y}{-7} \)
-7 x (8y - 6) > y
(-7 x 8y) + (-7 x -6) > y
-56y + 42 > y
-56y + 42 - y > 0
-56y - y > -42
-57y > -42
y > \( \frac{-42}{-57} \)
y > \(\frac{14}{19}\)


3

Which types of triangles will always have at least two sides of equal length?

54% Answer Correctly

equilateral and right

equilateral, isosceles and right

isosceles and right

equilateral and isosceles


Solution

An isosceles triangle has two sides of equal length. An equilateral triangle has three sides of equal length. In a right triangle, two sides meet at a right angle.


4

The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 5 and radius (r) = 7. What is the volume?

63% Answer Correctly
245π
648π
162π
567π

Solution

The volume of a cylinder is πr2h:

v = πr2h
v = π(72 x 5)
v = 245π


5

Which of the following is not true about both rectangles and squares?

63% Answer Correctly

the lengths of all sides are equal

the perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all four sides

the area is length x width

all interior angles are right angles


Solution

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).
