1

A quadrilateral is a shape with __________ sides.

91% Answer Correctly

3

5

4

2


Solution

A quadrilateral is a shape with four sides. The perimeter of a quadrilateral is the sum of the lengths of its four sides.


2

Which of the following is not required to define the slope-intercept equation for a line?

42% Answer Correctly

y-intercept

\({\Delta y \over \Delta x}\)

slope

x-intercept


Solution

A line on the coordinate grid can be defined by a slope-intercept equation: y = mx + b. For a given value of x, the value of y can be determined given the slope (m) and y-intercept (b) of the line. The slope of a line is change in y over change in x, \({\Delta y \over \Delta x}\), and the y-intercept is the y-coordinate where the line crosses the vertical y-axis.


3

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

71% Answer Correctly
16π
32π
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 * 16)
c = 32π


4

Simplify (8a)(9ab) + (9a2)(2b).

65% Answer Correctly
54ab2
-54ab2
54a2b
90a2b

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.

(8a)(9ab) + (9a2)(2b)
(8 x 9)(a x a x b) + (9 x 2)(a2 x b)
(72)(a1+1 x b) + (18)(a2b)
72a2b + 18a2b
90a2b


5

If a = -6 and y = -3, what is the value of -5a(a - y)?

68% Answer Correctly
-90
44
-117
0

Solution

To solve this equation, 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.)

-5a(a - y)
-5(-6)(-6 + 3)
-5(-6)(-3)
(30)(-3)
-90
