1

If side x = 8cm, side y = 15cm, and side z = 12cm what is the perimeter of this triangle?

84% Answer Correctly
36cm
23cm
26cm
35cm

Solution

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

p = x + y + z
p = 8cm + 15cm + 12cm = 35cm


2

A coordinate grid is composed of which of the following?

88% Answer Correctly

y-axis

x-axis

all of these

origin


Solution

The coordinate grid is composed of a horizontal x-axis and a vertical y-axis. The center of the grid, where the x-axis and y-axis meet, is called the origin.


3

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

83% Answer Correctly

First

Inside

Odd

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.


4

Solve for z:
-5z - 8 > -5 + 2z

54% Answer Correctly
z > -3
z > 1\(\frac{1}{6}\)
z > -\(\frac{3}{7}\)
z > -\(\frac{3}{8}\)

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 > sign and the answer on the other.

-5z - 8 > -5 + 2z
-5z > -5 + 2z + 8
-5z - 2z > -5 + 8
-7z > 3
z > \( \frac{3}{-7} \)
z > -\(\frac{3}{7}\)


5

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

49% Answer Correctly

a parallelogram is a quadrilateral

the area of a parallelogram is base x height

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

opposite sides and adjacent angles are equal


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).
