What is the circumference of a circle with a diameter of 17?

71% Answer Correctly
11π
18π
17π

Solution

The formula for circumference is circle diameter x π:

c = πd
c = 17π


2

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

83% Answer Correctly

Odd

Last

Inside

First


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.


3

Simplify (6a)(2ab) - (2a2)(8b).

62% Answer Correctly
4ab2
28ab2
-4a2b
80a2b

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.

(6a)(2ab) - (2a2)(8b)
(6 x 2)(a x a x b) - (2 x 8)(a2 x b)
(12)(a1+1 x b) - (16)(a2b)
12a2b - 16a2b
-4a2b


4

Solve for b:
-8b + 1 > 8 - 3b

55% Answer Correctly
b > -\(\frac{2}{3}\)
b > \(\frac{5}{7}\)
b > \(\frac{3}{4}\)
b > -1\(\frac{2}{5}\)

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.

-8b + 1 > 8 - 3b
-8b > 8 - 3b - 1
-8b + 3b > 8 - 1
-5b > 7
b > \( \frac{7}{-5} \)
b > -1\(\frac{2}{5}\)


5

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

57% Answer Correctly

sum of interior angles = 180°

area = ½bh

exterior angle = sum of two adjacent interior angles

perimeter = sum of side lengths


Solution

A triangle is a three-sided polygon. It has three interior angles that add up to 180° (a + b + c = 180°). An exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the two interior angles that are opposite (d = b + c). The perimeter of a triangle is equal to the sum of the lengths of its three sides, the height of a triangle is equal to the length from the base to the opposite vertex (angle) and the area equals one-half triangle base x height: a = ½ base x height.
