If a rectangle is twice as long as it is wide and has a perimeter of 12 meters, what is the area of the rectangle?
| 18 m2 | |
| 8 m2 | |
| 72 m2 | |
| 162 m2 |
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 12 meters so the equation becomes: 2w + 2h = 12.
Putting these two equations together and solving for width (w):
2w + 2h = 12
w + h = \( \frac{12}{2} \)
w + h = 6
w = 6 - h
From the question we know that h = 2w so substituting 2w for h gives us:
w = 6 - 2w
3w = 6
w = \( \frac{6}{3} \)
w = 2
Since h = 2w that makes h = (2 x 2) = 4 and the area = h x w = 2 x 4 = 8 m2
Ezra loaned Monica $1,200 at an annual interest rate of 5%. If no payments are made, what is the total amount owed at the end of the first year?
| $1,260 | |
| $1,224 | |
| $1,284 | |
| $1,272 |
The yearly interest charged on this loan is the annual interest rate multiplied by the amount borrowed:
interest = annual interest rate x loan amount
i = (\( \frac{6}{100} \)) x $1,200
i = 0.05 x $1,200
No payments were made so the total amount due is the original amount + the accumulated interest:
total = $1,200 + $60Which of the following is not an integer?

What is 9\( \sqrt{6} \) x 2\( \sqrt{8} \)?
| 11\( \sqrt{6} \) | |
| 72\( \sqrt{3} \) | |
| 18\( \sqrt{8} \) | |
| 18\( \sqrt{14} \) |
To multiply terms with radicals, multiply the coefficients and radicands separately:
9\( \sqrt{6} \) x 2\( \sqrt{8} \)
(9 x 2)\( \sqrt{6 \times 8} \)
18\( \sqrt{48} \)
Now we need to simplify the radical:
18\( \sqrt{48} \)
18\( \sqrt{3 \times 16} \)
18\( \sqrt{3 \times 4^2} \)
(18)(4)\( \sqrt{3} \)
72\( \sqrt{3} \)
Betty scored 81% on her final exam. If each question was worth 3 points and there were 300 possible points on the exam, how many questions did Betty answer correctly?
| 81 | |
| 83 | |
| 66 | |
| 82 |
Betty scored 81% on the test meaning she earned 81% of the possible points on the test. There were 300 possible points on the test so she earned 300 x 0.81 = 243 points. Each question is worth 3 points so she got \( \frac{243}{3} \) = 81 questions right.
