1

If a = c = 1, b = d = 9, what is the area of this rectangle?

80% Answer Correctly
10
9
8
12

Solution

The area of a rectangle is equal to its length x width:

a = l x w
a = a x b
a = 1 x 9
a = 9


2

Order the following types of angle from least number of degrees to most number of degrees.

75% Answer Correctly

right, obtuse, acute

acute, right, obtuse

acute, obtuse, right

right, acute, obtuse


Solution

An acute angle measures less than 90°, a right angle measures 90°, and an obtuse angle measures more than 90°.


3

The formula for the area of a circle is which of the following?

24% Answer Correctly

c = π r

c = π r2

c = π d2

c = π d


Solution

The circumference of a circle is the distance around its perimeter and equals π (approx. 3.14159) x diameter: c = π d. The area of a circle is π x (radius)2 : a = π r2.


4

What is 4a9 - 2a9?

73% Answer Correctly
2
2a9
2a18
6a18

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.

4a9 - 2a9 = 2a9


5

Factor y2 - 11y + 18

54% Answer Correctly
(y + 9)(y - 2)
(y - 9)(y - 2)
(y + 9)(y + 2)
(y - 9)(y + 2)

Solution

To factor a quadratic expression, apply the FOIL method (First, Outside, Inside, Last) in reverse. First, find the two Last terms that will multiply to produce 18 as well and sum (Inside, Outside) to equal -11. For this problem, those two numbers are -9 and -2. Then, plug these into a set of binomials using the square root of the First variable (y2):

y2 - 11y + 18
y2 + (-9 - 2)y + (-9 x -2)
(y - 9)(y - 2)
