Mathematics Knowledge Question

 

In teaching my ASVAB prep course, I cover the four main sections of the test: Arithmetic Reasoning, Mathematics Knowledge, Word Knowledge, and Paragraph Comprehension.

I spend most of my class time working on the two math sections of the exam.

Today I present a Mathematics Knowledge question.

Mathematics Knowledge covers geometry and algebra.

Today’s question is a geometry question that is about a hexagon.

The question is:

What is the perimeter of a hexagon if the length of each side is 5?

  1. 25
  2. 30
  3. 35
  4. 40

I remind my students to review the different shapes that can appear on the exam.  Do you know how many sides a hexagon has.  Do you know how to find the perimeter of a shape?

I will present the answer and explanation tomorrow.
