A. 45 B. 50 C. 70 D. 85 Best GED Math Prep Resource for 2021 Answers: 1- B The diagonal of the square is 8. Let $$x$$ be the side. Use Pythagorean Theorem: $$a^2 + b^2 = c^2$$ $$x^2 + x^2 = 8^2 {\Rightarrow} 2x^2 = 82 {\Rightarrow} 2x^2 = 64 {\Rightarrow}x^2 = 32 {\Rightarrow}x= {\sqrt{32}}$$ The area of the square is: $${\sqrt{32}} {\times} {\sqrt{32}} = 32$$ 2- B The perimeter of the trapezoid is 36 cm. Therefore, the missing side (height) is $$= 36 – 8 – 12 – 6 = 10$$ Area of a trapezoid: A $$= \frac{1}{2} h ({b_{1} + b_{2}}) = \frac{1}{2} (10) (6 + 8) = 70$$ 3- B Use simple interest formula: I=prt (I = interest, p = principal, r = rate, t = time) I=(12000)(0.035)(2)=840$\$

4- D
Solve for $$x$$.
$$-2 {\leq} 2x-4 < 8 ⇒$$ (add 4 all sides) $$-2+4 {\leq} 2x-4+4 < 8+4 {\Rightarrow}$$
$$2{\leq}2x<12 {\Rightarrow}$$ (divide all sides by 2) 1 $${\leq}x < 6$$
$$x$$ is between 1 and 6.

5- C
Three times of 24,000 is 72,000. One sixth of them cancelled their tickets.
One sixth of 72,000 equals $$12,000 (\frac{1}{6}) (\times ) 72000 = 12000$$.
$$60,000 (72000 – 12000 = 60000)$$ fans are attending this week

6- C
The square of a number is $$\frac{25}{64}$$, then the number is the square root of $$\frac{25}{64}$$
$$\sqrt{\frac{25}{64}}=\frac{5}{8}$$
The cube of the number is:
$$({\frac{5}{8}})^3 = \frac{125}{512}$$

7- D
The equation of a line is in the form of $$y=mx+b$$, where m is the slope of the line and b is the $$y$$-intercept of the line.
Two points (4,3) and (3,2) are on line A. Therefore, the slope of the line A is:
slope of line A$$=\frac{(y_2- y_1)}{(x_2 – x_1 ) } =\frac{2-3}{3-4} = \frac{-1}{-1}$$
The slope of line A is 1. Thus, the formula of the line A is:
$$y=mx+b=x+b$$, choose a point and plug in the values of $$x$$ and $$y$$ in the equation to solve for b. Let’s choose point (4, 3). Then:
$$y=x+b \rightarrow 3=4+b\rightarrow b=3-4=-1$$
The equation of line A is: $$y=x-1$$
Now, let’s review the choices provided:
A. $$(-1,2) \ \ y=x-1\rightarrow 2=-1-1=-2$$ (This is not true.)
B. $$(5,7) \ \ y=x-1\rightarrow 7=5-1=4$$ (This is not true.)
C. $$(3,4) y=x-1 \ \ \rightarrow 4=3-1=2$$ (This is not true.)
D. $$(-1,-2) y=x-1 \ \ \rightarrow -2=-1-1=-2$$ (This is true!)

8- 30
The difference of 2 and 3 is 1, 3 and 5 is 2, 5 and 8 is 3, 8 and 12 is 4, 12 and 17 is 5, 17 and 23 is 6, 23 and next number should be 7. The number is 23 + 7 = 30

9- B
Plug in 104 for F and then solve for C.
C $$= \frac{5}{6}$$ (F $$- 32) {\Rightarrow}$$ C $$= \frac{5}{9} (104 – 32) {\Rightarrow} C = \frac{5}{9} (72) = 40$$

10- A
First, find the number.
Let $$x$$ be the number. Write the equation and solve for $$x$$.
$$150\%$$ of a number is 75, then:
$$1.5{\times}x=75 {\Rightarrow} x=75{\div}1.5=50$$
$$90\%$$ of 50 is:
$$0.9 {\times} 50 = 45$$
