Review

If a = c = 6, b = d = 1, and the blue angle = 77°, what is the area of this parallelogram?

65% Answer Correctly

	18
	6
	2
	16

Solution

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

a = l x w
a = a x b
a = 6 x 1
a = 6

Which of the following statements about parallel lines with a transversal is not correct?

36% Answer Correctly

	all acute angles equal each other
	all of the angles formed by a transversal are called interior angles
	angles in the same position on different parallel lines are called corresponding angles
	same-side interior angles are complementary and equal each other

Solution

Parallel lines are lines that share the same slope (steepness) and therefore never intersect. A transversal occurs when a set of parallel lines are crossed by another line. All of the angles formed by a transversal are called interior angles and angles in the same position on different parallel lines equal each other (a° = w°, b° = x°, c° = z°, d° = y°) and are called corresponding angles. Alternate interior angles are equal (a° = z°, b° = y°, c° = w°, d° = x°) and all acute angles (a° = c° = w° = z°) and all obtuse angles (b° = d° = x° = y°) equal each other. Same-side interior angles are supplementary and add up to 180° (e.g. a° + d° = 180°, d° + c° = 180°).

Which of the following statements about math operations is incorrect?

70% Answer Correctly

	you can add monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent
	you can multiply monomials that have different variables and different exponents
	you can subtract 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.

A(n) __________ is two expressions separated by an equal sign.

76% Answer Correctly

	problem
	formula
	equation
	expression

Solution

An equation is two expressions separated by an equal sign. The key to solving equations is to repeatedly do the same thing to both sides of the equation until the variable is isolated on one side of the equal sign and the answer on the other.

To multiply binomials, use the FOIL method. Which of the following is not a part of the FOIL method?

83% Answer Correctly

	First
	Odd
	Inside
	Last

Solution

To multiply binomials, use the FOIL method. FOIL stands for First, Outside, Inside, Last and refers to the position of each term in the parentheses.
