1

If a = c = 9, b = d = 8, and the blue angle = 72°, what is the area of this parallelogram?

66% Answer Correctly
72
8
36
45

Solution

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

a = l x w
a = a x b
a = 9 x 8
a = 72


2

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

24% Answer Correctly

c = π r

c = π d2

c = π d

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

The dimensions of this cube are height (h) = 8, length (l) = 1, and width (w) = 6. What is the surface area?

51% Answer Correctly
66
104
124
158

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 1 x 6) + (2 x 6 x 8) + (2 x 1 x 8)
sa = (12) + (96) + (16)
sa = 124


4

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

63% Answer Correctly

the area is length x width

the lengths of all sides are equal

all interior angles are right angles

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


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).


5

Solve for c:
-6c + 3 = -1 + 5c

59% Answer Correctly
-1\(\frac{2}{5}\)
-9
\(\frac{4}{11}\)
-\(\frac{1}{6}\)

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 equal sign and the answer on the other.

-6c + 3 = -1 + 5c
-6c = -1 + 5c - 3
-6c - 5c = -1 - 3
-11c = -4
c = \( \frac{-4}{-11} \)
c = \(\frac{4}{11}\)
