1

A right angle measures:

91% Answer Correctly

360°

45°

180°

90°


Solution

A right angle measures 90 degrees and is the intersection of two perpendicular lines. In diagrams, a right angle is indicated by a small box completing a square with the perpendicular lines.


2

A cylinder with a radius (r) and a height (h) has a surface area of:

54% Answer Correctly

4π r2

2(π r2) + 2π rh

π r2h

π r2h2


Solution

A cylinder is a solid figure with straight parallel sides and a circular or oval cross section with a radius (r) and a height (h). The volume of a cylinder is π r2h and the surface area is 2(π r2) + 2π rh.


3

Which of the following statements about math operations is incorrect?

71% Answer Correctly

you can add monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent

you can subtract monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent

you can multiply monomials that have different variables and different exponents

all of these statements are correct


Solution

You can only add or subtract monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent. For example, 2a + 4a = 6a and 4a2 - a2 = 3a2 but 2a + 4b and 7a - 3b cannot be combined. However, you can multiply and divide monomials with unlike terms. For example, 2a x 6b = 12ab.


4

If the base of this triangle is 4 and the height is 1, what is the area?

58% Answer Correctly
33
2
36
56

Solution

The area of a triangle is equal to ½ base x height:

a = ½bh
a = ½ x 4 x 1 = \( \frac{4}{2} \) = 2


5

If a = 2, b = 6, c = 3, and d = 2, what is the perimeter of this quadrilateral?

88% Answer Correctly
12
17
13
31

Solution

Perimeter is equal to the sum of the four sides:

p = a + b + c + d
p = 2 + 6 + 3 + 2
p = 13
