Simplify 5a x 9b.

86% Answer Correctly
45ab
45a2b2
45\( \frac{a}{b} \)
45\( \frac{b}{a} \)

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.

5a x 9b = (5 x 9) (a x b) = 45ab


2

Which of the following is not true about both rectangles and squares?

63% Answer Correctly

the lengths of all sides are equal

the perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all four sides

all interior angles are right angles

the area is length x width


Solution

A rectangle is a parallelogram containing four right angles. Opposite sides (a = c, b = d) are equal and the perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all sides (a + b + c + d) or, comonly, 2 x length x width. The area of a rectangle is length x width. A square is a rectangle with four equal length sides. The perimeter of a square is 4 x length of one side (4s) and the area is the length of one side squared (s2).


3

For this diagram, the Pythagorean theorem states that b2 = ?

47% Answer Correctly

a2 - c2

c2 - a2

c - a

c2 + a2


Solution

The Pythagorean theorem defines the relationship between the side lengths of a right triangle. The length of the hypotenuse squared (c2) is equal to the sum of the two perpendicular sides squared (a2 + b2): c2 = a2 + b2 or, solved for c, \(c = \sqrt{a + b}\)


4

The formula for volume of a cube in terms of height (h), length (l), and width (w) is which of the following?

67% Answer Correctly

2lw x 2wh + 2lh

lw x wh + lh

h2 x l2 x w2

h x l x w


Solution

A cube is a rectangular solid box with a height (h), length (l), and width (w). The volume is h x l x w and the surface area is 2lw x 2wh + 2lh.


5

If a = c = 6, b = d = 8, and the blue angle = 69°, what is the area of this parallelogram?

65% Answer Correctly
12
48
8
14

Solution

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

a = l x w
a = a x b
a = 6 x 8
a = 48
