What is 5a - 5a?

79% Answer Correctly
0a
25a
a2
10a2

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.

5a - 5a = 0a


2

The formula for the area of a circle is which of the following?

24% Answer Correctly

c = π d

c = π d2

c = π r

c = π r2


Solution

The circumference of a circle is the distance around its perimeter and equals π (approx. 3.14159) x diameter: c = π d. The area of a circle is π x (radius)2 : a = π r2.


3

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

57% Answer Correctly

area = ½bh

exterior angle = sum of two adjacent interior angles

sum of interior angles = 180°

perimeter = sum of side lengths


Solution

A triangle is a three-sided polygon. It has three interior angles that add up to 180° (a + b + c = 180°). An exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the two interior angles that are opposite (d = b + c). The perimeter of a triangle is equal to the sum of the lengths of its three sides, the height of a triangle is equal to the length from the base to the opposite vertex (angle) and the area equals one-half triangle base x height: a = ½ base x height.


4

If side x = 15cm, side y = 13cm, and side z = 11cm what is the perimeter of this triangle?

84% Answer Correctly
27cm
36cm
30cm
39cm

Solution

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

p = x + y + z
p = 15cm + 13cm + 11cm = 39cm


5

What is 2a7 + 4a7?

75% Answer Correctly
a714
8a14
6
6a7

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.

2a7 + 4a7 = 6a7
