The shape below can be categorized as a ____________.

Trap

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.

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.

3

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

and are equivalent because they occupy the same position on the number line.

9

The shape below can be categorized as a ____________.

Quad

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.
