Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. The study of mathematics using variables for numbers

Answer: Algebra

Many high school students must love the 9th-century Persian mathematician, Muhammad ibn Musa al-Khwarizmi. He was credited with publishing the first book using algebra, the math class that first used variables like x and y to stand for numbers. Algebra is an essential math class in preparation for college level courses.

2. Medical condition where you're unable to remember facts and experiences

Answer: Amnesia

Many movies have had characters suffer from amnesia, usually after a blow to the head. But amnesia is a real medical condition where the ability to recall basic facts is interrupted in your brain. It can happen after brain trauma, a stroke, epilepsy, and even caused by some viral infections.

3. Term for an irrational fear of spiders

Answer: Arachnophobia

"Arachnophobia" was a comedy/horror film that saw a town infested with large spiders. The term "arachnophobia" is the fear of spiders. It's an intense fear that is estimated to affect around 5% of the world population.

4. First letter in the Greek alphabet and a term for a dominant person

Answer: Alpha

Alpha, beta, and gamma are the first three letters of the Greek alphabet. When training a dog, it's important that the dog understands that you are in charge and are the alpha in the relationship. When a dog feels they have the upper hand, it can be very difficult to train them.

5. A pleasant or savory scent

Answer: Aroma

Walking into an Italian restaurant, you may smell a delicious aroma in the air from the spaghetti sauces, Parmesan cheese, and spices. An aroma is a distinctive and usually pleasant odor that comes from a Greek word meaning "fragrant substance".

6. The largest artery in the human body

Answer: Aorta

The aorta starts in the left ventricle of the heart. It's the main pathway of moving oxygen rich blood to the rest of the body. An adult aorta has a diameter of about an inch (roughly 2.5 cm) at its widest point.

7. A metal device used for transmitting or receiving electronic waves

Answer: Antenna

Back in the day before wi-fi and cable television, most TVs came with an antenna that was used to pick up television signals. The antenna is still part of our lives as an over the air receiver of television signals and as a bonus they don't come with the typical delay associated with wireless connections.

8. Half of the name of two continents

Answer: America

If someone tells you they live in America, they should probably be more specific. There is North America that includes Canada, Mexico, and the United States of America. You've got South America that includes Brazil and Colombia. You've even got Central America that includes Panama.

9. A loss of sensation after administration of a medication

Answer: Anesthesia

Before a major surgery, you would meet with an anesthesiologist who will explain what will happen to you as you go under anesthesia. Your body will be unable to feel pain as the surgeons are working on your internal organs due to the medical effects of anesthesia.

10. What length times width finds for a rectangle.

Answer: Area

The area of a rectangle is length times width. The area is the total space inside of the geometric shape. Similarly the area of a triangle is half that of a rectangle. Its area formula is one half of the base times the height.
