    Geometry: Area of Composite Shapes

    An L-shaped floor plan for a storage unit is measured in centimeters. The total length of the bottom edge is 20 cm, and the total height of the left side is 15 cm. The top edge measures 12 cm, and the right-side vertical edge measures 10 cm. What is the total area of the floor plan?

    Show answer and rationale

    Answer: C. 185 cm²

    To find the area of an L-shaped figure, divide it into two rectangles, find the area of each (length x width), and add them together.

    Interpreting Data Correlations

    A public health researcher observes that as the average daily temperature in a city decreases during the winter months, the total amount of money spent on home heating fuel increases. Which of the following terms best describes the correlation between temperature and heating fuel expenditures?

    Show answer and rationale

    Answer: B. Negative correlation

    Learn to identify negative correlations on the TEAS. When temperature drops and spending rises, the variables move in opposite directions.

    Roots and Radicals

    Which of the following values is the best decimal approximation for the positive square root of 11?

    Show answer and rationale

    Answer: B. 3.3

    To approximate the square root of 11, find the closest perfect square. Since 3.3 squared is 10.89, it is the best approximation for 11.

    Data Interpretation and Statistics

    A nursing student tracks the number of hours spent studying for five different subjects over the weekend: Anatomy (12 hours), Physiology (15 hours), Microbiology (18 hours), Statistics (10 hours), and Pharmacology (20 hours). What is the absolute difference between the mean and the median of the hours spent studying?

    Show answer and rationale

    Answer: B. 0.8 hours

    Calculate the mean (average) and median (middle value) of the data set, then subtract to find the difference. Correct answer: 0.8 hours.

    Data Interpretation and Percentages Ratio

    A local health clinic conducts a survey regarding patient exercise habits. The results are recorded in the table below. Based on the data provided, what percentage of the total sample exercises 3 or more days per week? | Exercise Frequency | Number of Patients | | :--- | :--- | | 0 days per week | 45 | | 1-2 days per week | 75 | | 3+ days per week | 30 |

    Show answer and rationale

    Answer: C. 20%

    Learn how to calculate percentages from frequency tables by dividing the specific category by the total sample size. 30/150 = 20%.

    Geometry and Area

    A nurse is designing a circular logo to fit perfectly within a rectangular banner that measures 12 inches by 18 inches. What is the area of the largest possible circular logo that can be printed entirely within the boundaries of the banner?

    Show answer and rationale

    Answer: B. 36π square inches

    The largest circle in a rectangle is limited by the shorter side. For a 12x18 rectangle, the diameter is 12, radius is 6, and area is 36π.

    Basic Probability Concepts

    A medical clinic’s supply cabinet contains 15 rolls of gauze, 10 rolls of adhesive tape, and 5 boxes of cotton swabs. If a nurse reaches into the cabinet and selects one item at random, what is the probability that the item selected is NOT a roll of gauze?

    Show answer and rationale

    Answer: C. 2/3

    Learn how to calculate the probability of the complement (not an event) by dividing the non-target outcomes by the total outcomes.
