1

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

91% Answer Correctly

exponents

addition

pairs

division


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.)


2

If angle a = 35° and angle b = 60° what is the length of angle c?

71% Answer Correctly
74°
69°
85°
108°

Solution

The sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°:
180° = a° + b° + c°
c° = 180° - a° - b°
c° = 180° - 35° - 60° = 85°


3

The formula for the area of a circle is which of the following?

78% Answer Correctly

a = π r

a = π d

a = π r2

a = π d2


Solution

The circumference of a circle is the distance around its perimeter and equals π (approx. 3.14159) x diameter: c = π d. The area of a circle is π x (radius)2 : a = π r2.


4

What is 6a5 + 4a5?

76% Answer Correctly
10
24a5
10a5
2

Solution

To combine like terms, add or subtract the coefficients (the numbers that come before the variables) of terms that have the same variable raised to the same exponent.

6a5 + 4a5 = 10a5


5

Which of the following statements about a triangle is not true?

58% Answer Correctly

perimeter = sum of side lengths

sum of interior angles = 180°

area = ½bh

exterior angle = sum of two adjacent interior angles


Solution

A triangle is a three-sided polygon. It has three interior angles that add up to 180° (a + b + c = 180°). An exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the two interior angles that are opposite (d = b + c). The perimeter of a triangle is equal to the sum of the lengths of its three sides, the height of a triangle is equal to the length from the base to the opposite vertex (angle) and the area equals one-half triangle base x height: a = ½ base x height.
