Simplify (2a)(3ab) - (8a2)(4b).

62% Answer Correctly
-26a2b
60a2b
60ab2
38a2b

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.

(2a)(3ab) - (8a2)(4b)
(2 x 3)(a x a x b) - (8 x 4)(a2 x b)
(6)(a1+1 x b) - (32)(a2b)
6a2b - 32a2b
-26a2b

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

50% Answer Correctly

a parallelogram is a quadrilateral

the area of a parallelogram is base x height

the perimeter of a parallelogram is the sum of the lengths of all sides

opposite sides and adjacent angles are equal


Solution

A parallelogram is a quadrilateral with two sets of parallel sides. Opposite sides (a = c, b = d) and angles (red = red, blue = blue) are equal. The area of a parallelogram is base x height and the perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all sides (a + b + c + d).


3

If side x = 12cm, side y = 10cm, and side z = 6cm what is the perimeter of this triangle?

85% Answer Correctly
27cm
28cm
33cm
35cm

Solution

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

p = x + y + z
p = 12cm + 10cm + 6cm = 28cm


4

Which types of triangles will always have at least two sides of equal length?

54% Answer Correctly

equilateral and right

equilateral, isosceles and right

equilateral and isosceles

isosceles and right


Solution

An isosceles triangle has two sides of equal length. An equilateral triangle has three sides of equal length. In a right triangle, two sides meet at a right angle.


5

What is 8a5 - 7a5?

74% Answer Correctly
1a5
15
56a5
a510

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.

8a5 - 7a5 = 1a5
