1

If the base of this triangle is 6 and the height is 4, what is the area?

58% Answer Correctly
52
12
27\(\frac{1}{2}\)
71\(\frac{1}{2}\)

Solution

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

a = ½bh
a = ½ x 6 x 4 = \( \frac{24}{2} \) = 12


2

Solve for y:
-6y - 2 > 6 + 6y

55% Answer Correctly
y > -\(\frac{1}{3}\)
y > -2\(\frac{1}{3}\)
y > -\(\frac{2}{3}\)
y > \(\frac{5}{6}\)

Solution

To solve this equation, repeatedly do the same thing to both sides of the equation until the variable is isolated on one side of the > sign and the answer on the other.

-6y - 2 > 6 + 6y
-6y > 6 + 6y + 2
-6y - 6y > 6 + 2
-12y > 8
y > \( \frac{8}{-12} \)
y > -\(\frac{2}{3}\)


3

If c = -4 and z = -4, what is the value of c(c - z)?

68% Answer Correctly
-160
270
-64
0

Solution

To solve this equation, 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.)

c(c - z)
1(-4)(-4 + 4)
1(-4)(0)
(-4)(0)
0


4

The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, 2) and (2, 0). What is the slope of this line?

46% Answer Correctly
-2\(\frac{1}{2}\)
-1\(\frac{1}{2}\)
-\(\frac{1}{2}\)
2\(\frac{1}{2}\)

Solution

The slope of this line is the change in y divided by the change in x. The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, 2) and (2, 0) so the slope becomes:

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(0.0) - (2.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{-2}{4} \)
m = -\(\frac{1}{2}\)


5

The dimensions of this cube are height (h) = 9, length (l) = 5, and width (w) = 9. What is the surface area?

51% Answer Correctly
342
288
126
202

Solution

The surface area of a cube is (2 x length x width) + (2 x width x height) + (2 x length x height):

sa = 2lw + 2wh + 2lh
sa = (2 x 5 x 9) + (2 x 9 x 9) + (2 x 5 x 9)
sa = (90) + (162) + (90)
sa = 342
