  1. A paraprofessional is helping students identify angles. An angle that measures less than 90° is called:

    Answer: Acute

    An acute angle measures between 0° and 90°, making it smaller than a right angle.

  2. If a rectangle has an area of 48 square inches and a width of 6 inches, what is its length?

    Answer: 8 inches

    Area = length × width, so length = area ÷ width = 48 ÷ 6 = 8 inches.

  3. Which unit of measurement would be most appropriate for measuring the distance between two cities?

    Answer: Miles

    Miles (or kilometers) are the appropriate unit for measuring long distances between cities.

  4. A circle has a diameter of 14 cm. What is its radius?

    Answer: 7 cm

    The radius is half the diameter, so radius = 14 ÷ 2 = 7 cm.

  5. How many square feet are in 1 square yard?

    Answer: 9 square feet

    Since 1 yard = 3 feet, 1 square yard = 3 × 3 = 9 square feet.

  6. A parallelogram has a base of 12 inches and a height of 5 inches. What is its area?

    Answer: 60 square inches

    Area of a parallelogram = base × height = 12 × 5 = 60 square inches.

  7. A student is learning about 3-dimensional shapes. Which shape has exactly 6 faces, all of which are rectangles?

    Answer: Rectangular prism

    A rectangular prism (box) has exactly 6 rectangular faces — top, bottom, front, back, left, and right.
