What is 7a - 3a?

80% Answer Correctly
a2
10
4
4a

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.

7a - 3a = 4a


2

If a = 8, b = 3, c = 8, and d = 5, what is the perimeter of this quadrilateral?

89% Answer Correctly
24
17
19
16

Solution

Perimeter is equal to the sum of the four sides:

p = a + b + c + d
p = 8 + 3 + 8 + 5
p = 24


3

On this circle, line segment AB is the:

72% 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 side a = 1, side b = 8, what is the length of the hypotenuse of this right triangle?

64% Answer Correctly
\( \sqrt{65} \)
\( \sqrt{58} \)
\( \sqrt{5} \)
\( \sqrt{2} \)

Solution

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

c2 = a2 + b2
c2 = 12 + 82
c2 = 1 + 64
c2 = 65
c = \( \sqrt{65} \)


5

If the base of this triangle is 5 and the height is 8, what is the area?

58% Answer Correctly
20
27\(\frac{1}{2}\)
30
27

Solution

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

a = ½bh
a = ½ x 5 x 8 = \( \frac{40}{2} \) = 20
