1

Simplify (y + 8)(y + 6)

64% Answer Correctly
y2 - 2y - 48
y2 + 2y - 48
y2 + 14y + 48
y2 - 14y + 48

Solution

To multiply binomials, use the FOIL method. FOIL stands for First, Outside, Inside, Last and refers to the position of each term in the parentheses:

(y + 8)(y + 6)
(y x y) + (y x 6) + (8 x y) + (8 x 6)
y2 + 6y + 8y + 48
y2 + 14y + 48


2

A right angle measures:

91% Answer Correctly

45°

360°

180°

90°


Solution

A right angle measures 90 degrees and is the intersection of two perpendicular lines. In diagrams, a right angle is indicated by a small box completing a square with the perpendicular lines.


3

If a = 4, b = 5, c = 8, and d = 8, what is the perimeter of this quadrilateral?

88% Answer Correctly
13
18
22
25

Solution

Perimeter is equal to the sum of the four sides:

p = a + b + c + d
p = 4 + 5 + 8 + 8
p = 25


4

To multiply binomials, use the FOIL method. Which of the following is not a part of the FOIL method?

84% Answer Correctly

Odd

First

Inside

Last


Solution

To multiply binomials, use the FOIL method. FOIL stands for First, Outside, Inside, Last and refers to the position of each term in the parentheses.


5

If angle a = 27° and angle b = 56° what is the length of angle d?

56% Answer Correctly
126°
160°
150°
153°

Solution

An exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the two interior angles that are opposite:

d° = b° + c°

To find angle c, remember that the sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°:

180° = a° + b° + c°
c° = 180° - a° - b°
c° = 180° - 27° - 56° = 97°

So, d° = 56° + 97° = 153°

A shortcut to get this answer is to remember that angles around a line add up to 180°:

a° + d° = 180°
d° = 180° - a°
d° = 180° - 27° = 153°
