Simplify 4a x 2b.

86% Answer Correctly
6ab
8\( \frac{b}{a} \)
8ab
8\( \frac{a}{b} \)

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.

4a x 2b = (4 x 2) (a x b) = 8ab


2

Solve for y:
y2 + 4y - 45 = 0

59% Answer Correctly
5 or -9
4 or -3
3 or -1
-2 or -5

Solution

The first step to solve a quadratic equation that's set to zero is to factor the quadratic equation:

y2 + 4y - 45 = 0
(y - 5)(y + 9) = 0

For this expression to be true, the left side of the expression must equal zero. Therefore, either (y - 5) or (y + 9) must equal zero:

If (y - 5) = 0, y must equal 5
If (y + 9) = 0, y must equal -9

So the solution is that y = 5 or -9


3

The dimensions of this trapezoid are a = 5, b = 3, c = 6, d = 2, and h = 4. What is the area?

51% Answer Correctly
10
12
13\(\frac{1}{2}\)
32

Solution

The area of a trapezoid is one-half the sum of the lengths of the parallel sides multiplied by the height:

a = ½(b + d)(h)
a = ½(3 + 2)(4)
a = ½(5)(4)
a = ½(20) = \( \frac{20}{2} \)
a = 10


4

If the length of AB equals the length of BD, point B __________ this line segment.

46% Answer Correctly

trisects

intersects

bisects

midpoints


Solution

A line segment is a portion of a line with a measurable length. The midpoint of a line segment is the point exactly halfway between the endpoints. The midpoint bisects (cuts in half) the line segment.


5

A quadrilateral is a shape with __________ sides.

91% Answer Correctly

4

5

2

3


Solution

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