horizontal line test (that means only point per horizontal section)
What does big B stand for?
base of the shape
area of the base that the prism is named for
perimeter of the base

If I get a scholarship/grant/help from family, what do I do with that amount?
Subtract it from the total you are going to have to pay for college.
Add it to the total you are going to have to pay for college
Do nothing with this amount
How do I determine if something is proportional?
y divided by x
y times x
see if there is a beginning balance if so, it is proportional
see if there is a beginning balance and if not, it is proportional

multiply it by both x and y coordinate values
divide it by both x and y coordinate values
Only multiply/divide by one coordinate value
add the x and y coordinate values.

What does the big P mean in the surface area formula?
add all sides of the base shape
add all sides of the prism
find the area of the base
um, remind me again?
How do I determine if three sides create a right triangle?
a + b = c
leg squared + leg squared = hypotenuse squared
Just add two smallest sides to see if it is larger than the longest
leg + leg = hypotenuse

True
False
Pick what you know about scientific notation.
If the standard form is larger than one, the exponent is positive
If the standard from is larger than one, the exponent is positive
If the standard form is smaller than one, the exponent is negative
If the standard form is smaller than one, the exponent is negative
True or false when dealing with scientific notation your number has to be greater than zero and less than 10
True
False
What type of rotation is this? (y, -x)
90 clockwise/270 counterclockwise
180 clockwise/180 counterclockwise
270 clockwise/90 counterclockwise
What type of rotation is this: (-x,-y)
90 clockwise/270 counterclockwise
180 clockwise/180 counterclockwise
270 clockwise/90 counterclockwise
How do I find slope from a graph?

Subtract two y coordinates and subtract two x coordinates that are from the same points put change in y over change in x
run/rise
rise/run
What type of rotation is this: (-y, x)

starting point on a graph
where it crosses the y-axis
the initial or starting amount
where it crosses the x-axis
What do I count to determine scientific notation's exponent?
The zeros
The number of places the decimal moved
If I rotate a figure, what does it maintain?
Orientation
Congruence
Place on the graph
None of the above
Which angles are congruent to number 1
4, 5, 8
4
3, 2, 6, 7
6
The Pythagorean Theorem ONLY works on which triangle?
obtuse
scalene
isosceles
right
What side(s) will always be the longest on a right triangle?
The Hypotenuse
Leg A
Leg B
The Right Angle
What side(s) will always be the shortest on a right triangle?
Select all that apply
The Hypotenuse
Leg A
Leg B
The Right Angle
What is the relationship between the sides in the Pythagorean Theorem shown?
Hint: Think about when the hypotenuse is missing!
a + b = c
a2 + b2 = c2
a2 – b2 = c2
a – b = c
If I need to find the missing side of a figure: what steps do I take?
I make sure that the orientation of both figures is the same
I set up the side over the same side as the other figure
If it is prime (new), I put it on top and the other on the bottom
I just always use one side over another
I multiply until I see an answer choice
Side c on a right triangle is ALWAYS the longest.
true
false
c2 = a2 - b2
How do I order negative numbers?
Draw out a number line and place numbers there

True
False
