Simplify (y + 5)(y + 2)

63% Answer Correctly
y2 - 7y + 10
y2 + 3y - 10
y2 + 7y + 10
y2 - 3y - 10

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:

(y + 5)(y + 2)
(y x y) + (y x 2) + (5 x y) + (5 x 2)
y2 + 2y + 5y + 10
y2 + 7y + 10

If angle a = 59° and angle b = 47° what is the length of angle d?

56% Answer Correctly
121°
151°
127°
112°

Solution

An exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the two interior angles that are opposite:

d° = b° + c°

To find angle c, remember that the sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°:

180° = a° + b° + c°
c° = 180° - a° - b°
c° = 180° - 59° - 47° = 74°

So, d° = 47° + 74° = 121°

A shortcut to get this answer is to remember that angles around a line add up to 180°:

a° + d° = 180°
d° = 180° - a°
d° = 180° - 59° = 121°


3

On this circle, line segment AB is the:

70% Answer Correctly

chord

radius

circumference

diameter


Solution

A circle is a figure in which each point around its perimeter is an equal distance from the center. The radius of a circle is the distance between the center and any point along its perimeter. A chord is a line segment that connects any two points along its perimeter. The diameter of a circle is the length of a chord that passes through the center of the circle and equals twice the circle's radius (2r).


4

If the base of this triangle is 9 and the height is 8, what is the area?

58% Answer Correctly
37\(\frac{1}{2}\)
42
49\(\frac{1}{2}\)
36

Solution

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

a = ½bh
a = ½ x 9 x 8 = \( \frac{72}{2} \) = 36


5

If side a = 6, side b = 6, what is the length of the hypotenuse of this right triangle?

64% Answer Correctly
\( \sqrt{72} \)
\( \sqrt{2} \)
\( \sqrt{65} \)
\( \sqrt{10} \)

Solution

According to the Pythagorean theorem, the hypotenuse squared is equal to the sum of the two perpendicular sides squared:

c2 = a2 + b2
c2 = 62 + 62
c2 = 36 + 36
c2 = 72
c = \( \sqrt{72} \)
