1

If the base of this triangle is 8 and the height is 6, what is the area?

58% Answer Correctly
24
56
52
82\(\frac{1}{2}\)

Solution

The area of a triangle is equal to ½ base x height:

a = ½bh
a = ½ x 8 x 6 = \( \frac{48}{2} \) = 24


2

Which of the following expressions contains exactly two terms?

81% Answer Correctly

monomial

polynomial

binomial

quadratic


Solution

A monomial contains one term, a binomial contains two terms, and a polynomial contains more than two terms.


3

Solve for a:
-8a + 1 = 5 + 7a

58% Answer Correctly
-\(\frac{4}{15}\)
-\(\frac{4}{7}\)
\(\frac{1}{2}\)
-\(\frac{5}{9}\)

Solution

To solve this equation, repeatedly do the same thing to both sides of the equation until the variable is isolated on one side of the equal sign and the answer on the other.

-8a + 1 = 5 + 7a
-8a = 5 + 7a - 1
-8a - 7a = 5 - 1
-15a = 4
a = \( \frac{4}{-15} \)
a = -\(\frac{4}{15}\)


4

The formula for the area of a circle is which of the following?

76% Answer Correctly

a = π d

a = π d2

a = π r2

a = π r


Solution

The circumference of a circle is the distance around its perimeter and equals π (approx. 3.14159) x diameter: c = π d. The area of a circle is π x (radius)2 : a = π r2.


5

A right angle measures:

90% Answer Correctly

360°

180°

45°

90°


Solution

A right angle measures 90 degrees and is the intersection of two perpendicular lines. In diagrams, a right angle is indicated by a small box completing a square with the perpendicular lines.
