1

If side x = 6cm, side y = 12cm, and side z = 8cm what is the perimeter of this triangle?

84% Answer Correctly
29cm
33cm
19cm
26cm

Solution

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

p = x + y + z
p = 6cm + 12cm + 8cm = 26cm


2

Find the value of a:
-6a + z = -2
-5a + 4z = 5

42% Answer Correctly
-\(\frac{11}{13}\)
-2
\(\frac{13}{19}\)
-1\(\frac{3}{10}\)

Solution

You need to find the value of a so solve the first equation in terms of z:

-6a + z = -2
z = -2 + 6a

then substitute the result (-2 - -6a) into the second equation:

-5a + 4(-2 + 6a) = 5
-5a + (4 x -2) + (4 x 6a) = 5
-5a - 8 + 24a = 5
-5a + 24a = 5 + 8
19a = 13
a = \( \frac{13}{19} \)
a = \(\frac{13}{19}\)


3

If side a = 1, side b = 5, what is the length of the hypotenuse of this right triangle?

64% Answer Correctly
\( \sqrt{26} \)
\( \sqrt{50} \)
\( \sqrt{29} \)
\( \sqrt{113} \)

Solution

According to the Pythagorean theorem, the hypotenuse squared is equal to the sum of the two perpendicular sides squared:

c2 = a2 + b2
c2 = 12 + 52
c2 = 1 + 25
c2 = 26
c = \( \sqrt{26} \)


4

What is the circumference of a circle with a radius of 10?

71% Answer Correctly
20π
30π
13π
14π

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 * 10)
c = 20π


5

To multiply binomials, use the FOIL method. Which of the following is not a part of the FOIL method?

83% Answer Correctly

Inside

Odd

First

Last


Solution

To multiply binomials, use the FOIL method. FOIL stands for First, Outside, Inside, Last and refers to the position of each term in the parentheses.
