1

Which of the following expressions contains exactly two terms?

83% Answer Correctly

monomial

polynomial

binomial

quadratic


Solution

A monomial contains one term, a binomial contains two terms, and a polynomial contains more than two terms.


2

If side x = 13cm, side y = 11cm, and side z = 10cm what is the perimeter of this triangle?

85% Answer Correctly
34cm
31cm
21cm
32cm

Solution

The perimeter of a triangle is the sum of the lengths of its sides:

p = x + y + z
p = 13cm + 11cm + 10cm = 34cm


3

If the base of this triangle is 2 and the height is 8, what is the area?

58% Answer Correctly
72
12\(\frac{1}{2}\)
15
8

Solution

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

a = ½bh
a = ½ x 2 x 8 = \( \frac{16}{2} \) = 8


4

If side a = 5, side b = 2, what is the length of the hypotenuse of this right triangle?

64% Answer Correctly
\( \sqrt{32} \)
\( \sqrt{5} \)
\( \sqrt{29} \)
\( \sqrt{17} \)

Solution

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

c2 = a2 + b2
c2 = 52 + 22
c2 = 25 + 4
c2 = 29
c = \( \sqrt{29} \)


5

On this circle, line segment CD is the:

46% Answer Correctly

chord

circumference

radius

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).
