On this circle, line segment CD is the:

46% Answer Correctly

circumference

radius

chord

diameter


Solution

A circle is a figure in which each point around its perimeter is an equal distance from the center. The radius of a circle is the distance between the center and any point along its perimeter. A chord is a line segment that connects any two points along its perimeter. The diameter of a circle is the length of a chord that passes through the center of the circle and equals twice the circle's radius (2r).


2

The dimensions of this cube are height (h) = 3, length (l) = 4, and width (w) = 7. What is the volume?

82% Answer Correctly
288
14
84
24

Solution

The volume of a cube is height x length x width:

v = h x l x w
v = 3 x 4 x 7
v = 84


3

If a = 8 and x = -7, what is the value of -2a(a - x)?

68% Answer Correctly
-240
168
-156
14

Solution

To solve this equation, 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.)

-2a(a - x)
-2(8)(8 + 7)
-2(8)(15)
(-16)(15)
-240


4

What is 5a + 9a?

81% Answer Correctly
14a
14
-4
-4a2

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 + 9a = 14a


5

Simplify (7a)(8ab) + (7a2)(9b).

65% Answer Correctly
119a2b
-7ab2
240ab2
119ab2

Solution

To multiply monomials, multiply the coefficients (the numbers that come before the variables) of each term, add the exponents of like variables, and multiply the different variables together.

(7a)(8ab) + (7a2)(9b)
(7 x 8)(a x a x b) + (7 x 9)(a2 x b)
(56)(a1+1 x b) + (63)(a2b)
56a2b + 63a2b
119a2b
