1. QuestionMultiple choice

A rectangle is 12 meters long and 5 meters wide. What is its perimeter?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: A

The correct answer is 34 meters.

  1. Identify the quantities: Read the problem carefully and identify the numbers, units, relationships, or representations provided.
  2. Apply the math skill: Perimeter is 2 times the sum of length and width: 2(12 + 5) equals 34.
  3. Check the result: Review the operation, estimate, units, and relationship to confirm that the answer is reasonable.

Perimeter is 2 times the sum of length and width: 2(12 + 5) equals 34.

2. QuestionMultiple choice

What is the area of a triangle with base 10 inches and height 6 inches?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: B

The correct answer is 30 square inches.

  1. Identify the quantities: Read the problem carefully and identify the numbers, units, relationships, or representations provided.
  2. Apply the math skill: Triangle area is one half times base times height: one half times 10 times 6 equals 30.
  3. Check the result: Review the operation, estimate, units, and relationship to confirm that the answer is reasonable.

Triangle area is one half times base times height: one half times 10 times 6 equals 30.

3. QuestionMultiple choice

A box has dimensions 3 feet by 4 feet by 5 feet. What is its volume?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: C

The correct answer is 60 cubic feet.

  1. Identify the quantities: Read the problem carefully and identify the numbers, units, relationships, or representations provided.
  2. Apply the math skill: Multiply the three dimensions: 3 times 4 times 5 equals 60 cubic feet.
  3. Check the result: Review the operation, estimate, units, and relationship to confirm that the answer is reasonable.

Multiply the three dimensions: 3 times 4 times 5 equals 60 cubic feet.

4. QuestionMultiple choice

Two angles of a triangle measure 45 degrees and 65 degrees. What is the third angle?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: D

The correct answer is 70 degrees.

  1. Identify the quantities: Read the problem carefully and identify the numbers, units, relationships, or representations provided.
  2. Apply the math skill: Triangle angles total 180 degrees, so 180 minus 45 minus 65 equals 70.
  3. Check the result: Review the operation, estimate, units, and relationship to confirm that the answer is reasonable.

Triangle angles total 180 degrees, so 180 minus 45 minus 65 equals 70.

5. QuestionMultiple choice

What is the distance between the points (2,1)(2, 1) and (2,7)(2, 7) on a coordinate plane?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: A

The correct answer is 6 units.

  1. Identify the quantities: Read the problem carefully and identify the numbers, units, relationships, or representations provided.
  2. Apply the math skill: The x-values are equal, so subtract the y-values: 7 minus 1 equals 6.
  3. Check the result: Review the operation, estimate, units, and relationship to confirm that the answer is reasonable.

The x-values are equal, so subtract the y-values: 7 minus 1 equals 6.

6. QuestionMultiple choice

A circle has radius 5 centimeters. Using piapprox3.14pi approx 3.14, what is its circumference?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: B

The correct answer is 31.4 centimeters.

  1. Identify the quantities: Read the problem carefully and identify the numbers, units, relationships, or representations provided.
  2. Apply the math skill: Circumference is 2 times pi times radius: 2 times 3.14 times 5 equals 31.4.
  3. Check the result: Review the operation, estimate, units, and relationship to confirm that the answer is reasonable.

Circumference is 2 times pi times radius: 2 times 3.14 times 5 equals 31.4.

7. QuestionMultiple choice

Which transformation moves every point 4 units to the right?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: C

The correct answer is A translation by (4,0)(4, 0).
