1

If side x = 5cm, side y = 12cm, and side z = 6cm what is the perimeter of this triangle?

84% Answer Correctly
23cm
31cm
32cm
35cm

Solution

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

p = x + y + z
p = 5cm + 12cm + 6cm = 23cm


2

If side a = 3, side b = 7, what is the length of the hypotenuse of this right triangle?

64% Answer Correctly
10
\( \sqrt{58} \)
\( \sqrt{53} \)
\( \sqrt{17} \)

Solution

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

c2 = a2 + b2
c2 = 32 + 72
c2 = 9 + 49
c2 = 58
c = \( \sqrt{58} \)


3

The formula for volume of a cube in terms of height (h), length (l), and width (w) is which of the following?

67% Answer Correctly

2lw x 2wh + 2lh

lw x wh + lh

h2 x l2 x w2

h x l x w


Solution

A cube is a rectangular solid box with a height (h), length (l), and width (w). The volume is h x l x w and the surface area is 2lw x 2wh + 2lh.


4

Which of the following expressions contains exactly two terms?

82% Answer Correctly

monomial

quadratic

polynomial

binomial


Solution

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


5

Simplify 2a x 5b.

86% Answer Correctly
10\( \frac{a}{b} \)
7ab
10ab
10a2b2

Solution

To multiply monomials, multiply the coefficients (the numbers that come before the variables) of each term, add the exponents of like variables, and multiply the different variables together.

2a x 5b = (2 x 5) (a x b) = 10ab
