1

If a = 3, b = 2, c = 7, and d = 3, what is the perimeter of this quadrilateral?

88% Answer Correctly
15
21
14
17

Solution

Perimeter is equal to the sum of the four sides:

p = a + b + c + d
p = 3 + 2 + 7 + 3
p = 15


2

Find the value of c:
4c + z = 3
7c - 5z = 2

42% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{17}{27}\)
\(\frac{4}{5}\)
-2\(\frac{2}{3}\)
-\(\frac{1}{2}\)

Solution

You need to find the value of c so solve the first equation in terms of z:

4c + z = 3
z = 3 - 4c

then substitute the result (3 - 4c) into the second equation:

7c - 5(3 - 4c) = 2
7c + (-5 x 3) + (-5 x -4c) = 2
7c - 15 + 20c = 2
7c + 20c = 2 + 15
27c = 17
c = \( \frac{17}{27} \)
c = \(\frac{17}{27}\)


3

A cylinder with a radius (r) and a height (h) has a surface area of:

54% Answer Correctly

4π r2

2(π r2) + 2π rh

π r2h2

π r2h


Solution

A cylinder is a solid figure with straight parallel sides and a circular or oval cross section with a radius (r) and a height (h). The volume of a cylinder is π r2h and the surface area is 2(π r2) + 2π rh.


4

What is 8a + 2a?

81% Answer Correctly
6
a2
10a
10a2

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.

8a + 2a = 10a


5

Solve for c:
c2 - 2c - 15 = 0

59% Answer Correctly
-3 or 5
8 or 5
-2 or -3
6 or -5

Solution

The first step to solve a quadratic equation that's set to zero is to factor the quadratic equation:

c2 - 2c - 15 = 0
(c + 3)(c - 5) = 0

For this expression to be true, the left side of the expression must equal zero. Therefore, either (c + 3) or (c - 5) must equal zero:

If (c + 3) = 0, c must equal -3
If (c - 5) = 0, c must equal 5

So the solution is that c = -3 or 5
