1

If side x = 6cm, side y = 10cm, and side z = 5cm what is the perimeter of this triangle?

85% Answer Correctly
36cm
35cm
29cm
21cm

Solution

The perimeter of a triangle is the sum of the lengths of its sides:

p = x + y + z
p = 6cm + 10cm + 5cm = 21cm


2

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

47% Answer Correctly

c - a

c2 + a2

a2 - c2

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, \(c = \sqrt{a + b}\)


3

Simplify 9a x 8b.

86% Answer Correctly
72\( \frac{b}{a} \)
72\( \frac{a}{b} \)
72ab
72a2b2

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.

9a x 8b = (9 x 8) (a x b) = 72ab


4

5

Breaking apart a quadratic expression into a pair of binomials is called:

75% Answer Correctly

factoring

deconstructing

squaring

normalizing


Solution

To factor a quadratic expression, apply the FOIL (First, Outside, Inside, Last) method in reverse.
