1

If side x = 7cm, side y = 13cm, and side z = 5cm what is the perimeter of this triangle?

84% Answer Correctly
36cm
29cm
22cm
25cm

Solution

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

p = x + y + z
p = 7cm + 13cm + 5cm = 25cm


2

What is 8a - 6a?

79% Answer Correctly
2a
48a
2
48a2

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.

8a - 6a = 2a


3

Simplify 4a x 4b.

85% Answer Correctly
16\( \frac{b}{a} \)
16a2b2
16\( \frac{a}{b} \)
16ab

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 4b = (4 x 4) (a x b) = 16ab


4

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

h x l x w

h2 x l2 x w2

lw x wh + lh


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.


5

For this diagram, the Pythagorean theorem states that b2 = ?

47% Answer Correctly

a2 - c2

c - a

c2 - a2

c2 + a2


Solution

The Pythagorean theorem defines the relationship between the side lengths of a right triangle. The length of the hypotenuse squared (c2) is equal to the sum of the two perpendicular sides squared (a2 + b2): c2 = a2 + b2 or, solved for c, \(c = \sqrt{a + b}\)
