1

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

91% Answer Correctly

exponents

pairs

addition

division


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.)


2

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

77% Answer Correctly

expression

problem

equation

formula


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.


3

When two lines intersect, adjacent angles are __________ (they add up to 180°) and angles across from either other are __________ (they're equal).

61% Answer Correctly

acute, obtuse

vertical, supplementary

supplementary, vertical

obtuse, acute


Solution

Angles around a line add up to 180°. Angles around a point add up to 360°. When two lines intersect, adjacent angles are supplementary (they add up to 180°) and angles across from either other are vertical (they're equal).


4

A cylinder with a radius (r) and a height (h) has a surface area of:

54% Answer Correctly

4π r2

π r2h2

2(π r2) + 2π rh

π r2h


Solution

A cylinder is a solid figure with straight parallel sides and a circular or oval cross section with a radius (r) and a height (h). The volume of a cylinder is π r2h and the surface area is 2(π r2) + 2π rh.

4\(\frac{1}{2}\)

Solution

The area of a triangle is equal to ½ base x height:

a = ½bh
a = ½ x 3 x 3 = \( \frac{9}{2} \) = 4\(\frac{1}{2}\)
