1

If BD = 18 and AD = 22, AB = ?

75% Answer Correctly
3
19
4
5

Solution

The entire length of this line is represented by AD which is AB + BD:

AD = AB + BD

Solving for AB:

AB = AD - BD
AB = 22 - 18
AB = 4


2

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

49% Answer Correctly

the area of a parallelogram is base x height

opposite sides and adjacent angles are equal

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

a parallelogram is a quadrilateral


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 a = -5 and z = 6, what is the value of 8a(a - z)?

68% Answer Correctly
540
-21
0
440

Solution

To solve this equation, 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.)

8a(a - z)
8(-5)(-5 - 6)
8(-5)(-11)
(-40)(-11)
440


4

What is 9a + 2a?

80% Answer Correctly
11a
11
18a
7a2

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.

9a + 2a = 11a


5
