1

If a = 9, b = 5, c = 5, and d = 2, what is the perimeter of this quadrilateral?

88% Answer Correctly
13
21
19
25
Solution

Perimeter is equal to the sum of the four sides:

p = a + b + c + d
p = 9 + 5 + 5 + 2
p = 21

2

If side a = 4, side b = 8, what is the length of the hypotenuse of this right triangle?

64% Answer Correctly
\( \sqrt{50} \)
\( \sqrt{29} \)
\( \sqrt{26} \)
\( \sqrt{80} \)
Solution

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

c2 = a2 + b2
c2 = 42 + 82
c2 = 16 + 64
c2 = 80
c = \( \sqrt{80} \)

3

Odd

First

Inside

Last
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.

4

Which of the following is not a part of PEMDAS, the acronym for math order of operations?

88% Answer Correctly

division

exponents

pairs

addition
Solution

When solving an equation with two variables, 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.)
