1. QuestionMultiple choice

What is the volume of a rectangular prism measuring 5 units by 4 units by 3 units?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: A

The correct answer is 60 cubic units.

  1. Identify the information: Read the quantities, units, expressions, or data representation carefully.
  2. Apply the method: Multiply length, width, and height: 5 times 4 times 3 equals 60.
  3. Check the result: Estimate, review the operation, and confirm that the answer is reasonable.

Multiply length, width, and height: 5 times 4 times 3 equals 60.

2. QuestionMultiple choice

What is the area of a triangle with base 12 centimeters and height 5 centimeters?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: B

The correct answer is 30 square centimeters.

  1. Identify the information: Read the quantities, units, expressions, or data representation carefully.
  2. Apply the method: Triangle area is one half times 12 times 5, which equals 30.
  3. Check the result: Estimate, review the operation, and confirm that the answer is reasonable.

Triangle area is one half times 12 times 5, which equals 30.

3. QuestionMultiple choice

A rectangle has a perimeter of 30 feet and a length of 10 feet. What is its width?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: C

The correct answer is 5 feet.

  1. Identify the information: Read the quantities, units, expressions, or data representation carefully.
  2. Apply the method: Half the perimeter is 15, so width equals 15 minus 10, or 5 feet.
  3. Check the result: Estimate, review the operation, and confirm that the answer is reasonable.

Half the perimeter is 15, so width equals 15 minus 10, or 5 feet.

4. QuestionMultiple choice

Which angle measures 90 degrees?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: D

The correct answer is A right angle.

  1. Identify the information: Read the quantities, units, expressions, or data representation carefully.
  2. Apply the method: A right angle measures exactly 90 degrees.
  3. Check the result: Estimate, review the operation, and confirm that the answer is reasonable.

A right angle measures exactly 90 degrees.

5. QuestionMultiple choice

A rectangular prism has volume 72 cubic inches, length 6 inches, and width 4 inches. What is its height?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: A

The correct answer is 3 inches.

  1. Identify the information: Read the quantities, units, expressions, or data representation carefully.
  2. Apply the method: Height equals volume divided by length times width: 72 divided by 24 equals 3.
  3. Check the result: Estimate, review the operation, and confirm that the answer is reasonable.

Height equals volume divided by length times width: 72 divided by 24 equals 3.

6. QuestionMultiple choice

What is the distance between (1,2)(1, 2) and (1,8)(1, 8)?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: B

The correct answer is 6 units.

  1. Identify the information: Read the quantities, units, expressions, or data representation carefully.
  2. Apply the method: The x-values match, so subtract the y-values: 8 minus 2 equals 6.
  3. Check the result: Estimate, review the operation, and confirm that the answer is reasonable.

The x-values match, so subtract the y-values: 8 minus 2 equals 6.

7. QuestionMultiple choice

A square has an area of 49 square units. What is the side length?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: C

The correct answer is 7 units.

  1. Identify the information: Read the quantities, units, expressions, or data representation carefully.
  2. Apply the method: Seven times seven equals 49, so the side length is 7 units.
  3. Check the result: Estimate, review the operation, and confirm that the answer is reasonable.

Seven times seven equals 49, so the side length is 7 units.

8. QuestionMultiple choice

Which transformation flips a figure over a line?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: D

The correct answer is Reflection.

  1. Identify the information: Read the quantities, units, expressions, or data representation carefully.
  2. Apply the method: A reflection flips a figure across a line of reflection.
  3. Check the result: Estimate, review the operation, and confirm that the answer is reasonable.

A reflection flips a figure across a line of reflection.

9. QuestionMultiple choice

A rectangular floor is 8 meters by 6 meters. How many square meters of tile are needed?

Correct answer: A

The correct answer is 48 square meters.

  1. Identify the information: Read the quantities, units, expressions, or data representation carefully.
  2. Apply the method: Area equals 8 times 6, or 48 square meters.
  3. Check the result: Estimate, review the operation, and confirm that the answer is reasonable.

Area equals 8 times 6, or 48 square meters.

10. QuestionMultiple choice

Which pair of measurements could be the legs and hypotenuse of a right triangle?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: B

The correct answer is 6, 8, and 10.

  1. Identify the information: Read the quantities, units, expressions, or data representation carefully.
  2. Apply the method: Six squared plus eight squared equals 100, which is 10 squared.
