1

For this diagram, the Pythagorean theorem states that b2 = ?

47% Answer Correctly

c2 + a2

a2 - c2

c - a

c2 - a2


Solution

The Pythagorean theorem defines the relationship between the side lengths of a right triangle. The length of the hypotenuse squared (c2) is equal to the sum of the two perpendicular sides squared (a2 + b2): c2 = a2 + b2 or, solved for c, \(c = \sqrt{a + b}\)


2

Simplify (5a)(2ab) + (8a2)(6b).

65% Answer Correctly
58a2b
-38a2b
98ab2
-38ab2

Solution

To multiply monomials, multiply the coefficients (the numbers that come before the variables) of each term, add the exponents of like variables, and multiply the different variables together.

(5a)(2ab) + (8a2)(6b)
(5 x 2)(a x a x b) + (8 x 6)(a2 x b)
(10)(a1+1 x b) + (48)(a2b)
10a2b + 48a2b
58a2b


3

Which of the following is not a part of PEMDAS, the acronym for math order of operations?

91% Answer Correctly

division

exponents

addition

pairs


Solution

When solving an equation with two variables, replace the variables with the values given and then solve the now variable-free equation. (Remember order of operations, PEMDAS, Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication/Division, Addition/Subtraction.)


4

If a = c = 2, b = d = 9, and the blue angle = 52°, what is the area of this parallelogram?

66% Answer Correctly
20
1
18
63

Solution

The area of a parallelogram is equal to its length x width:

a = l x w
a = a x b
a = 2 x 9
a = 18


5

If a = c = 4, b = d = 7, what is the area of this rectangle?

80% Answer Correctly
14
45
28
24

Solution

The area of a rectangle is equal to its length x width:

a = l x w
a = a x b
a = 4 x 7
a = 28
