The shape below can be categorized as a ____________.
trapezoid and a quadrilateral
trapezoid and a parallelogram
trapezoid and a square
parallelogram and a square
Explanation
This shape is both a trapezoid and quadrilateral. This shape is a trapezoid because a trapezoid only has one set of parallel sides, which in this case is the top and the base lines. This shape is also a quadrilateral because it has sides, and a quadrilateral is any
-sided figure.
This shape is not a parallelogram because a parallelogram has two sets of parallel sides, and this shape only has one.
This shape is not a rhombus because a rhombus has to have equal sides, or opposite equal acute angles, and this shape does not have
equal sides, nor are the opposite angles equal or acute. The two top angles are obtuse angles.
What is the pattern for the numbers in the X column to the numbers in the Y column?
Multiply
Add
Add
Multiply
Explanation
The question is asking what do we do to the value is the X column to get the value in the Y column. If we look at each value, we should see that each X value is multiplied by to get the Y value.
To find the rule, you may have to do some trial and error. The most important thing to remember is, once you think you have the rule, make sure to test the rule with all of the X values.
What is the area of the figure below?
Explanation
Area is the amount of space inside the boarder of a two dimensional shape. This shape is made up of unit squares. We can count the number of squares within the shape to find the area.
There are squares within the shape, so the area is

The shape below can be categorized as a ____________.
quadrilateral
rhombus
rectangle
square
Explanation
This shape is a quadrilateral because it has sides, and by definition a
-sided shape is a quadrilateral.
This shape cannot be a square because it does not have equal side lengths.
This shape cannot be a rectangle because its opposite sides are not equal in length, nor are the angles all s.
This shape cannot be a rhombus because it does not have opposite, parallel sides and angles, nor does it have equal side lengths.
Megan is working on a science experiment. She needs times the amount of water that she has shown on the scale below. How much water does she need?
Explanation
Megan has of water. If she needs
times that amount, we can multiply to find our answer.
