What is 3\( \sqrt{7} \) x 5\( \sqrt{5} \)?

41% Answer Correctly
8\( \sqrt{35} \)
15\( \sqrt{7} \)
15\( \sqrt{35} \)
15\( \sqrt{12} \)

Solution

To multiply terms with radicals, multiply the coefficients and radicands separately:

3\( \sqrt{7} \) x 5\( \sqrt{5} \)
(3 x 5)\( \sqrt{7 \times 5} \)
15\( \sqrt{35} \)

If a rectangle is twice as long as it is wide and has a perimeter of 24 meters, what is the area of the rectangle?

47% Answer Correctly
2 m2
50 m2
32 m2
98 m2

Solution

The area of a rectangle is width (w) x height (h). In this problem we know that the rectangle is twice as long as it is wide so h = 2w. The perimeter of a rectangle is 2w + 2h and we know that the perimeter of this rectangle is 24 meters so the equation becomes: 2w + 2h = 24.

Putting these two equations together and solving for width (w):

2w + 2h = 24
w + h = \( \frac{24}{2} \)
w + h = 12
w = 12 - h

From the question we know that h = 2w so substituting 2w for h gives us:

w = 12 - 2w
3w = 12
w = \( \frac{12}{3} \)
w = 4

Since h = 2w that makes h = (2 x 4) = 8 and the area = h x w = 4 x 8 = 32 m2

A menswear store is having a sale: "Buy one shirt at full price and get another shirt for 50% off." If Alex buys two shirts, each with a regular price of $46, how much money will he save?

70% Answer Correctly
$2.30
$9.20
$16.10
$23.00

Solution

By buying two shirts, Alex will save $46 x \( \frac{50}{100} \) = \( \frac{$46 x 50}{100} \) = \( \frac{$2300}{100} \) = $23.00 on the second shirt.
