1

A quadrilateral is a shape with __________ sides.

90% Answer Correctly

5

3

2

4


Solution

A quadrilateral is a shape with four sides. The perimeter of a quadrilateral is the sum of the lengths of its four sides.


2

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

88% Answer Correctly

exponents

pairs

division

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.)


3

The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, -5) and (2, 7). What is the slope of this line?

46% Answer Correctly
1
3
-1\(\frac{1}{2}\)
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, -5) and (2, 7) so the slope becomes:

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(7.0) - (-5.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{12}{4} \)
m = 3


4

Which of the following is not true about both rectangles and squares?

63% Answer Correctly

the area is length x width

all interior angles are right angles

the perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all four sides

the lengths of all sides are equal


Solution

A rectangle is a parallelogram containing four right angles. Opposite sides (a = c, b = d) are equal and the perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all sides (a + b + c + d) or, comonly, 2 x length x width. The area of a rectangle is length x width. A square is a rectangle with four equal length sides. The perimeter of a square is 4 x length of one side (4s) and the area is the length of one side squared (s2).


5

What is 5a3 - 7a3?

73% Answer Correctly
-2a3
12
-2a6
a36

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.

5a3 - 7a3 = -2a3
