1

If side x = 10cm, side y = 13cm, and side z = 5cm what is the perimeter of this triangle?

84% Answer Correctly
28cm
23cm
29cm
41cm

Solution

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

p = x + y + z
p = 10cm + 13cm + 5cm = 28cm


2

Simplify 3a x 2b.

85% Answer Correctly
6\( \frac{a}{b} \)
6ab
6\( \frac{b}{a} \)
5ab

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.

3a x 2b = (3 x 2) (a x b) = 6ab


3

What is 7a2 - 8a2?

73% Answer Correctly
56a2
a24
56a4
-1a2

Solution

To combine like terms, add or subtract the coefficients (the numbers that come before the variables) of terms that have the same variable raised to the same exponent.

7a2 - 8a2 = -1a2


4

A(n) __________ is to a parallelogram as a square is to a rectangle.

51% Answer Correctly

trapezoid

triangle

quadrilateral

rhombus


Solution

A rhombus is a parallelogram with four equal-length sides. A square is a rectangle with four equal-length sides.


5

The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, -10) and (2, 2). What is the slope-intercept equation for this line?

41% Answer Correctly
y = -x - 2
y = -1\(\frac{1}{2}\)x + 1
y = 3x - 4
y = -\(\frac{1}{2}\)x + 2

Solution

The slope-intercept equation for a line is y = mx + b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept of the line. From the graph, you can see that the y-intercept (the y-value from the point where the line crosses the y-axis) is -4. The slope of this line is the change in y divided by the change in x. The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, -10) and (2, 2) so the slope becomes:

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(2.0) - (-10.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{12}{4} \)
m = 3

Plugging these values into the slope-intercept equation:

y = 3x - 4
