1

A coordinate grid is composed of which of the following?

88% Answer Correctly

all of these

x-axis

origin

y-axis


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.


2

If b = 8 and y = 8, what is the value of -9b(b - y)?

68% Answer Correctly
192
98
270
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.)

-9b(b - y)
-9(8)(8 - 8)
-9(8)(0)
(-72)(0)
0


3

When two lines intersect, adjacent angles are __________ (they add up to 180°) and angles across from either other are __________ (they're equal).

60% Answer Correctly

supplementary, vertical

vertical, supplementary

acute, obtuse

obtuse, acute


Solution

Angles around a line add up to 180°. Angles around a point add up to 360°. When two lines intersect, adjacent angles are supplementary (they add up to 180°) and angles across from either other are vertical (they're equal).


4

The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 2 and radius (r) = 5. What is the surface area?

48% Answer Correctly
216π
108π
70π
18π

Solution

The surface area of a cylinder is 2πr2 + 2πrh:

sa = 2πr2 + 2πrh
sa = 2π(52) + 2π(5 x 2)
sa = 2π(25) + 2π(10)
sa = (2 x 25)π + (2 x 10)π
sa = 50π + 20π
sa = 70π


5

Simplify (5a)(6ab) - (8a2)(3b).

59% Answer Correctly
54a2b
121ab2
-6ab2
6a2b

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.

(5a)(6ab) - (8a2)(3b)
(5 x 6)(a x a x b) - (8 x 3)(a2 x b)
(30)(a1+1 x b) - (24)(a2b)
30a2b - 24a2b
6a2b
