1

The dimensions of this trapezoid are a = 5, b = 8, c = 7, d = 3, and h = 4. What is the area?

51% Answer Correctly
22
18
32\(\frac{1}{2}\)
21

Solution

The area of a trapezoid is one-half the sum of the lengths of the parallel sides multiplied by the height:

a = ½(b + d)(h)
a = ½(8 + 3)(4)
a = ½(11)(4)
a = ½(44) = \( \frac{44}{2} \)
a = 22


2

What is 5a3 - 7a3?

74% Answer Correctly
35a6
35a3
-2a3
-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.

5a3 - 7a3 = -2a3


3

Factor y2 - 5y + 6

54% Answer Correctly
(y + 3)(y - 2)
(y - 3)(y - 2)
(y - 3)(y + 2)
(y + 3)(y + 2)

Solution

To factor a quadratic expression, apply the FOIL method (First, Outside, Inside, Last) in reverse. First, find the two Last terms that will multiply to produce 6 as well and sum (Inside, Outside) to equal -5. For this problem, those two numbers are -3 and -2. Then, plug these into a set of binomials using the square root of the First variable (y2):

y2 - 5y + 6
y2 + (-3 - 2)y + (-3 x -2)
(y - 3)(y - 2)


4

What is the area of a circle with a diameter of 6?

70% Answer Correctly
36π
25π

Solution

The formula for area is πr2. Radius is circle \( \frac{diameter}{2} \):

r = \( \frac{d}{2} \)
r = \( \frac{6}{2} \)
r = 3
a = πr2
a = π(32)
a = 9π


5

Solve -6b - 3b = 7b - 3z - 8 for b in terms of z.

35% Answer Correctly
-2\(\frac{2}{5}\)z + 1\(\frac{2}{5}\)
-\(\frac{1}{14}\)z + \(\frac{4}{7}\)
-z - \(\frac{6}{11}\)
z + \(\frac{8}{13}\)

Solution

To solve this equation, isolate the variable for which you are solving (b) on one side of the equation and put everything else on the other side.

-6b - 3z = 7b - 3z - 8
-6b = 7b - 3z - 8 + 3z
-6b - 7b = -3z - 8 + 3z
-13b = - 8
b = \( \frac{ - 8}{-13} \)
b = \( \frac{}{-13} \) + \( \frac{-8}{-13} \)
b = z + \(\frac{8}{13}\)
