1

What is 6a + 2a?

81% Answer Correctly
8a
12a2
8
a2

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.

6a + 2a = 8a


2

If side x = 7cm, side y = 9cm, and side z = 7cm what is the perimeter of this triangle?

85% Answer Correctly
26cm
27cm
23cm
36cm

Solution

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

p = x + y + z
p = 7cm + 9cm + 7cm = 23cm


3

Which of the following statements about math operations is incorrect?

71% Answer Correctly

you can add monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent

you can subtract monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent

you can multiply monomials that have different variables and different exponents

all of these statements are correct


Solution

You can only add or subtract monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent. For example, 2a + 4a = 6a and 4a2 - a2 = 3a2 but 2a + 4b and 7a - 3b cannot be combined. However, you can multiply and divide monomials with unlike terms. For example, 2a x 6b = 12ab.


4

What is the area of a circle with a diameter of 8?

70% Answer Correctly
16π
81π

Solution

The formula for area is πr2. Radius is circle \( \frac{diameter}{2} \):

r = \( \frac{d}{2} \)
r = \( \frac{8}{2} \)
r = 4
a = πr2
a = π(42)
a = 16π


5

A trapezoid is a quadrilateral with one set of __________ sides.

70% Answer Correctly

right angle

equal length

equal angle

parallel


Solution

A trapezoid is a quadrilateral with one set of parallel sides.
