If c = 1 and x = -8, what is the value of -9c(c - x)?

68% Answer Correctly
-16
90
252
-81

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.)

-9c(c - x)
-9(1)(1 + 8)
-9(1)(9)
(-9)(9)
-81


2

If side x = 8cm, side y = 6cm, and side z = 6cm what is the perimeter of this triangle?

84% Answer Correctly
20cm
36cm
31cm
38cm

Solution

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

p = x + y + z
p = 8cm + 6cm + 6cm = 20cm


3

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

49% Answer Correctly

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

the area of a parallelogram is base x height

opposite sides and adjacent angles are equal

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).


4

Simplify 6a x 5b.

86% Answer Correctly
30\( \frac{b}{a} \)
11ab
30ab
30\( \frac{a}{b} \)

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.

6a x 5b = (6 x 5) (a x b) = 30ab


5

The formula for the area of a circle is which of the following?

77% Answer Correctly

a = π r

a = π r2

a = π d2

a = π d


Solution

The circumference of a circle is the distance around its perimeter and equals π (approx. 3.14159) x diameter: c = π d. The area of a circle is π x (radius)2 : a = π r2.
