Factor y2 - 8y + 15

54% Answer Correctly
(y + 5)(y - 3)
(y - 5)(y + 3)
(y + 5)(y + 3)
(y - 5)(y - 3)

Solution

To factor a quadratic expression, apply the FOIL method (First, Outside, Inside, Last) in reverse. First, find the two Last terms that will multiply to produce 15 as well and sum (Inside, Outside) to equal -8. For this problem, those two numbers are -5 and -3. Then, plug these into a set of binomials using the square root of the First variable (y2):

y2 - 8y + 15
y2 + (-5 - 3)y + (-5 x -3)
(y - 5)(y - 3)


2

A quadrilateral is a shape with __________ sides.

90% Answer Correctly

2

4

5

3


Solution

A quadrilateral is a shape with four sides. The perimeter of a quadrilateral is the sum of the lengths of its four sides.


3

If a = c = 4, b = d = 5, and the blue angle = 79°, what is the area of this parallelogram?

65% Answer Correctly
20
56
54
10

Solution

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

a = l x w
a = a x b
a = 4 x 5
a = 20


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

h2 x l2 x w2

h x l x w

lw x wh + lh

2lw x 2wh + 2lh


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

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

63% Answer Correctly

the area is length x width

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


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).
