1

If a = c = 2, b = d = 3, and the blue angle = 77°, what is the area of this parallelogram?

65% Answer Correctly
6
63
7
3

Solution

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

a = l x w
a = a x b
a = 2 x 3
a = 6


2

The formula for volume of a cube in terms of height (h), length (l), and width (w) is which of the following?

67% Answer Correctly

lw x wh + lh

h x l x w

2lw x 2wh + 2lh

h2 x l2 x w2


Solution

A cube is a rectangular solid box with a height (h), length (l), and width (w). The volume is h x l x w and the surface area is 2lw x 2wh + 2lh.


3

Factor y2 - y - 72

54% Answer Correctly
(y - 9)(y - 8)
(y - 9)(y + 8)
(y + 9)(y - 8)
(y + 9)(y + 8)

Solution

To factor a quadratic expression, apply the FOIL method (First, Outside, Inside, Last) in reverse. First, find the two Last terms that will multiply to produce -72 as well and sum (Inside, Outside) to equal -1. For this problem, those two numbers are -9 and 8. Then, plug these into a set of binomials using the square root of the First variable (y2):

y2 - y - 72
y2 + (-9 + 8)y + (-9 x 8)
(y - 9)(y + 8)


4

A quadrilateral is a shape with __________ sides.

90% Answer Correctly

4

3

5

2


Solution

A quadrilateral is a shape with four sides. The perimeter of a quadrilateral is the sum of the lengths of its four sides.


5

The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 4 and radius (r) = 2. What is the surface area?

48% Answer Correctly
80π
240π
224π
24π

Solution

The surface area of a cylinder is 2πr2 + 2πrh:

sa = 2πr2 + 2πrh
sa = 2π(22) + 2π(2 x 4)
sa = 2π(4) + 2π(8)
sa = (2 x 4)π + (2 x 8)π
sa = 8π + 16π
sa = 24π
