Which of the following statements about math operations is incorrect?

71% Answer Correctly

you can multiply monomials that have different variables and different exponents

you can subtract monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent

you can add monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent

all of these statements are correct


Solution

You can only add or subtract monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent. For example, 2a + 4a = 6a and 4a2 - a2 = 3a2 but 2a + 4b and 7a - 3b cannot be combined. However, you can multiply and divide monomials with unlike terms. For example, 2a x 6b = 12ab.

If a = c = 9, b = d = 10, what is the area of this rectangle?

80% Answer Correctly
90
28
49
36

Solution

The area of a rectangle is equal to its length x width:

a = l x w
a = a x b
a = 9 x 10
a = 90


3

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


4

The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 7 and radius (r) = 4. What is the volume?

63% Answer Correctly
125π
112π
25π

Solution

The volume of a cylinder is πr2h:

v = πr2h
v = π(42 x 7)
v = 112π


5

If angle a = 41° and angle b = 63° what is the length of angle c?

71% Answer Correctly
76°
126°
95°
78°

Solution

The sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°:
180° = a° + b° + c°
c° = 180° - a° - b°
c° = 180° - 41° - 63° = 76°
