Solve 7c + 2c = -8c + 3z - 9 for c in terms of z.

34% Answer Correctly
3z + 1\(\frac{3}{5}\)
\(\frac{1}{15}\)z - \(\frac{3}{5}\)
-7z + 4
13z - 2

Solution

To solve this equation, isolate the variable for which you are solving (c) on one side of the equation and put everything else on the other side.

7c + 2z = -8c + 3z - 9
7c = -8c + 3z - 9 - 2z
7c + 8c = 3z - 9 - 2z
15c = z - 9
c = \( \frac{z - 9}{15} \)
c = \( \frac{z}{15} \) + \( \frac{-9}{15} \)
c = \(\frac{1}{15}\)z - \(\frac{3}{5}\)

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

64% Answer Correctly
\( \sqrt{41} \)
\( \sqrt{17} \)
\( \sqrt{65} \)
\( \sqrt{53} \)

Solution

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

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


3

A(n) __________ is to a parallelogram as a square is to a rectangle.

51% Answer Correctly

rhombus

triangle

trapezoid

quadrilateral


Solution

A rhombus is a parallelogram with four equal-length sides. A square is a rectangle with four equal-length sides.


4

If AD = 14 and BD = 4, AB = ?

76% Answer Correctly
8
3
10
13

Solution

The entire length of this line is represented by AD which is AB + BD:

AD = AB + BD

Solving for AB:

AB = AD - BD
AB = 14 - 4
AB = 10


5

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

49% Answer Correctly

the area of a parallelogram is base x height

a parallelogram is a quadrilateral

opposite sides and adjacent angles are equal

the perimeter of a parallelogram is the sum of the lengths of all sides


Solution

A parallelogram is a quadrilateral with two sets of parallel sides. Opposite sides (a = c, b = d) and angles (red = red, blue = blue) are equal. The area of a parallelogram is base x height and the perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all sides (a + b + c + d).
