If AD = 21 and BD = 19, AB = ?

76% Answer Correctly
7
12
2
20

Solution

The entire length of this line is represented by AD which is AB + BD:

AD = AB + BD

Solving for AB:

AB = AD - BD
AB = 21 - 19
AB = 2

Simplify (2a)(6ab) + (7a2)(7b).

65% Answer Correctly
112a2b
112ab2
61a2b
61ab2

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.

(2a)(6ab) + (7a2)(7b)
(2 x 6)(a x a x b) + (7 x 7)(a2 x b)
(12)(a1+1 x b) + (49)(a2b)
12a2b + 49a2b
61a2b

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

50% Answer Correctly

the area of a parallelogram is base x height

opposite sides and adjacent angles are equal

the perimeter of a parallelogram is the sum of the lengths of all sides

a parallelogram is a quadrilateral


Solution

A parallelogram is a quadrilateral with two sets of parallel sides. Opposite sides (a = c, b = d) and angles (red = red, blue = blue) are equal. The area of a parallelogram is base x height and the perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all sides (a + b + c + d).

Solve for z:
z2 - 15z + 34 = -3z + 2

49% Answer Correctly
8 or -2
-7 or -9
4 or 8
-2 or -9

Solution

The first step to solve a quadratic expression that's not set to zero is to solve the equation so that it is set to zero:

z2 - 15z + 34 = -3z + 2
z2 - 15z + 34 - 2 = -3z
z2 - 15z + 3z + 32 = 0
z2 - 12z + 32 = 0

Next, factor the quadratic equation:

z2 - 12z + 32 = 0
(z - 4)(z - 8) = 0

For this expression to be true, the left side of the expression must equal zero. Therefore, either (z - 4) or (z - 8) must equal zero:

If (z - 4) = 0, z must equal 4
If (z - 8) = 0, z must equal 8

So the solution is that z = 4 or 8


5

If a = c = 7, b = d = 2, and the blue angle = 54°, what is the area of this parallelogram?

66% Answer Correctly
54
32
14
40

Solution

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

a = l x w
a = a x b
a = 7 x 2
a = 14
