1

If the base of this triangle is 2 and the height is 5, what is the area?

58% Answer Correctly
49\(\frac{1}{2}\)
5
90
35

Solution

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

a = ½bh
a = ½ x 2 x 5 = \( \frac{10}{2} \) = 5


2

What is 5a - 4a?

79% Answer Correctly
9
1a
9a2
20a2

Solution

To combine like terms, add or subtract the coefficients (the numbers that come before the variables) of terms that have the same variable raised to the same exponent.

5a - 4a = 1a


3

A right angle measures:

90% Answer Correctly

90°

180°

360°

45°


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.


4

Solve for a:
3a + 2 > 6 + 9a

55% Answer Correctly
a > -3\(\frac{1}{2}\)
a > -\(\frac{2}{3}\)
a > \(\frac{1}{4}\)
a > -2\(\frac{1}{4}\)

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.

3a + 2 > 6 + 9a
3a > 6 + 9a - 2
3a - 9a > 6 - 2
-6a > 4
a > \( \frac{4}{-6} \)
a > -\(\frac{2}{3}\)


5

Order the following types of angle from least number of degrees to most number of degrees.

75% Answer Correctly

acute, obtuse, right

right, obtuse, acute

acute, right, obtuse

right, acute, obtuse


Solution

An acute angle measures less than 90°, a right angle measures 90°, and an obtuse angle measures more than 90°.
