1

Which of the following expressions contains exactly two terms?

83% Answer Correctly

monomial

quadratic

polynomial

binomial


Solution

A monomial contains one term, a binomial contains two terms, and a polynomial contains more than two terms.


2

If angle a = 24° and angle b = 59° what is the length of angle d?

56% Answer Correctly
148°
134°
156°
159°

Solution

An exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the two interior angles that are opposite:

d° = b° + c°

To find angle c, remember that the sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°:

180° = a° + b° + c°
c° = 180° - a° - b°
c° = 180° - 24° - 59° = 97°

So, d° = 59° + 97° = 156°

A shortcut to get this answer is to remember that angles around a line add up to 180°:

a° + d° = 180°
d° = 180° - a°
d° = 180° - 24° = 156°


3

Order the following types of angle from least number of degrees to most number of degrees.

76% Answer Correctly

acute, right, obtuse

acute, obtuse, right

right, acute, obtuse

right, obtuse, acute


Solution

An acute angle measures less than 90°, a right angle measures 90°, and an obtuse angle measures more than 90°.


4

What is 5a9 - 5a9?

74% Answer Correctly
10a18
0
a918
0a9

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.

5a9 - 5a9 = 0a9


5

If side a = 8, side b = 7, what is the length of the hypotenuse of this right triangle?

64% Answer Correctly
\( \sqrt{53} \)
\( \sqrt{85} \)
\( \sqrt{113} \)
\( \sqrt{37} \)

Solution

According to the Pythagorean theorem, the hypotenuse squared is equal to the sum of the two perpendicular sides squared:

c2 = a2 + b2
c2 = 82 + 72
c2 = 64 + 49
c2 = 113
c = \( \sqrt{113} \)
