What the test measures

Geometry skills

  1. Find the area of triangles, special quadrilaterals, and polygons by composing into rectangles or decomposing into triangles

  2. Represent three-dimensional figures using nets made up of rectangles and triangles

  3. Find the volume of right rectangular prisms with fractional edge lengths

  4. Draw polygons in the coordinate plane and find the lengths of sides joining points with the same first coordinate or the same second coordinate

  5. Represent three-dimensional figures using nets and find surface area and volume

How the KSA reports it

Kentucky KSA is a state summative assessment built on Kentucky Academic Standards (KAS) rather than a separate national framework. For mathematics, the assessed content closely follows Common Core–style grade-band domains in grades 3-8 and uses Kentucky high-school conceptual categories in grade 10.

Blueprint & weighting

KSA uses the Independent / state-specific framework (by grade domains structure).

Find the area of a triangle with base b=4b = 4 and height h=8h = 8.

Triangle area =12⋅b⋅h=12⋅4⋅8=16= \dfrac{1}{2} \cdot b \cdot h = \dfrac{1}{2} \cdot 4 \cdot 8 = 16.

Practice playeasy

Find the area of a parallelogram with base b=5b = 5 and height h=10h = 10.

Parallelogram area =b⋅h=5⋅10=50= b \cdot h = 5 \cdot 10 = 50.

Practice playeasy

Find the area of a trapezoid with bases b1=6b_1 = 6 and b2=10b_2 = 10 and height h=7h = 7.

Trapezoid area =12(b1+b2)⋅h=12(6+10)⋅7=12(16)⋅7=56= \dfrac{1}{2}(b_1 + b_2) \cdot h = \dfrac{1}{2}(6 + 10) \cdot 7 = \dfrac{1}{2}(16) \cdot 7 = 56.

Practice playeasy

Find the area of a parallelogram with base b=4b = 4 and height h=6h = 6.

Parallelogram area =b⋅h=4⋅6=24= b \cdot h = 4 \cdot 6 = 24.

Practice playeasy

Find the area of a trapezoid with bases b1=5b_1 = 5 and b2=6b_2 = 6 and height h=4h = 4.

Trapezoid area =12(b1+b2)⋅h=12(5+6)⋅4=12(11)⋅4=22= \dfrac{1}{2}(b_1 + b_2) \cdot h = \dfrac{1}{2}(5 + 6) \cdot 4 = \dfrac{1}{2}(11) \cdot 4 = 22.

Practice playeasy

Find the area of a triangle with base b=8b = 8 and height h=9h = 9.

Triangle area =12⋅b⋅h=12⋅8⋅9=36= \dfrac{1}{2} \cdot b \cdot h = \dfrac{1}{2} \cdot 8 \cdot 9 = 36.

Practice playeasy

Find the area of a parallelogram with base b=2b = 2 and height h=9h = 9.

Parallelogram area =b⋅h=2⋅9=18= b \cdot h = 2 \cdot 9 = 18.

Practice playeasy

Find the area of a trapezoid with bases b1=7b_1 = 7 and b2=10b_2 = 10 and height h=6h = 6.

Trapezoid area =12(b1+b2)⋅h=12(7+10)⋅6=12(17)⋅6=51= \dfrac{1}{2}(b_1 + b_2) \cdot h = \dfrac{1}{2}(7 + 10) \cdot 6 = \dfrac{1}{2}(17) \cdot 6 = 51.
