1

If side x = 8cm, side y = 14cm, and side z = 13cm what is the perimeter of this triangle?

84% Answer Correctly
32cm
31cm
33cm
35cm

Solution

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

p = x + y + z
p = 8cm + 14cm + 13cm = 35cm


2

What is the circumference of a circle with a radius of 16?

71% Answer Correctly
12π
32π
28π

Solution

The formula for circumference is circle diameter x π. Circle diameter is 2 x radius:

c = πd
c = π(2 * r)
c = π(2 * 16)
c = 32π


3

Which of the following statements about math operations is incorrect?

70% Answer Correctly

you can add monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent

you can multiply monomials that have different variables and different exponents

you can subtract monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent

all of these statements are correct


Solution

You can only add or subtract monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent. For example, 2a + 4a = 6a and 4a2 - a2 = 3a2 but 2a + 4b and 7a - 3b cannot be combined. However, you can multiply and divide monomials with unlike terms. For example, 2a x 6b = 12ab.


4

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

88% Answer Correctly

division

addition

exponents

pairs


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.)


5

The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 8 and radius (r) = 5. What is the volume?

62% Answer Correctly
80π
576π
200π
128π

Solution

The volume of a cylinder is πr2h:

v = πr2h
v = π(52 x 8)
v = 200π
