Simplify (5a)(2ab) + (6a2)(3b).

65% Answer Correctly
63ab2
28a2b
28ab2
63a2b

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)(2ab) + (6a2)(3b)
(5 x 2)(a x a x b) + (6 x 3)(a2 x b)
(10)(a1+1 x b) + (18)(a2b)
10a2b + 18a2b
28a2b


2

Which of the following statements about math operations is incorrect?

71% Answer Correctly

all of these statements are correct

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


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.


3

The dimensions of this cube are height (h) = 1, length (l) = 6, and width (w) = 1. What is the volume?

83% Answer Correctly
144
120
63
6

Solution

The volume of a cube is height x length x width:

v = h x l x w
v = 1 x 6 x 1
v = 6


4

If a = c = 1, b = d = 2, and the blue angle = 52°, what is the area of this parallelogram?

66% Answer Correctly
27
72
2
16

Solution

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

a = l x w
a = a x b
a = 1 x 2
a = 2


5

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

50% Answer Correctly

a parallelogram is a quadrilateral

opposite sides and adjacent angles are equal

the area of a parallelogram is base x height

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


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).
