1

If a = 6, b = 6, c = 4, and d = 2, what is the perimeter of this quadrilateral?

88% Answer Correctly
18
17
24
14

Solution

Perimeter is equal to the sum of the four sides:

p = a + b + c + d
p = 6 + 6 + 4 + 2
p = 18


2

Which of the following expressions contains exactly two terms?

82% Answer Correctly

quadratic

binomial

polynomial

monomial


Solution

A monomial contains one term, a binomial contains two terms, and a polynomial contains more than two terms.


3

Which of the following statements about a parallelogram is not true?

50% Answer Correctly

opposite sides and adjacent angles are equal

a parallelogram is a quadrilateral

the perimeter of a parallelogram is the sum of the lengths of all sides

the area of a parallelogram is base x height


Solution

A parallelogram is a quadrilateral with two sets of parallel sides. Opposite sides (a = c, b = d) and angles (red = red, blue = blue) are equal. The area of a parallelogram is base x height and the perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all sides (a + b + c + d).


4

Solve for x:
-7x - 5 < -8 + 9x

55% Answer Correctly
x < \(\frac{1}{6}\)
x < 8
x < \(\frac{3}{16}\)
x < \(\frac{1}{2}\)

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.

-7x - 5 < -8 + 9x
-7x < -8 + 9x + 5
-7x - 9x < -8 + 5
-16x < -3
x < \( \frac{-3}{-16} \)
x < \(\frac{3}{16}\)


5

The dimensions of this cube are height (h) = 5, length (l) = 5, and width (w) = 8. What is the surface area?

51% Answer Correctly
210
102
176
110

Solution

The surface area of a cube is (2 x length x width) + (2 x width x height) + (2 x length x height):

sa = 2lw + 2wh + 2lh
sa = (2 x 5 x 8) + (2 x 8 x 5) + (2 x 5 x 5)
sa = (80) + (80) + (50)
sa = 210
