1

If side x = 13cm, side y = 7cm, and side z = 13cm what is the perimeter of this triangle?

84% Answer Correctly
41cm
27cm
19cm
33cm

Solution

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

p = x + y + z
p = 13cm + 7cm + 13cm = 33cm


2

Which of the following is not a part of PEMDAS, the acronym for math order of operations?

88% Answer Correctly

pairs

division

exponents

addition


Solution

When solving an equation with two variables, 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.)


3

Which types of triangles will always have at least two sides of equal length?

54% Answer Correctly

isosceles and right

equilateral, isosceles and right

equilateral and right

equilateral and isosceles


Solution

An isosceles triangle has two sides of equal length. An equilateral triangle has three sides of equal length. In a right triangle, two sides meet at a right angle.


4

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

57% Answer Correctly

exterior angle = sum of two adjacent interior angles

perimeter = sum of side lengths

sum of interior angles = 180°

area = ½bh


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.

What is 7a - 3a?

80% Answer Correctly
21a2
4a2
a2
4a

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.

7a - 3a = 4a
