1

If AD = 11 and BD = 3, AB = ?

76% Answer Correctly
3
15
4
8

Solution

The entire length of this line is represented by AD which is AB + BD:

AD = AB + BD

Solving for AB:

AB = AD - BD
AB = 11 - 3
AB = 8


2

If a = 7, b = 3, c = 5, and d = 3, what is the perimeter of this quadrilateral?

88% Answer Correctly
18
15
21
24

Solution

Perimeter is equal to the sum of the four sides:

p = a + b + c + d
p = 7 + 3 + 5 + 3
p = 18


3

Breaking apart a quadratic expression into a pair of binomials is called:

74% Answer Correctly

factoring

deconstructing

squaring

normalizing


Solution

To factor a quadratic expression, apply the FOIL (First, Outside, Inside, Last) method in reverse.


4

Which of the following statements about a triangle is not true?

57% Answer Correctly

area = ½bh

exterior angle = sum of two adjacent interior angles

sum of interior angles = 180°

perimeter = sum of side lengths


Solution

A triangle is a three-sided polygon. It has three interior angles that add up to 180° (a + b + c = 180°). An exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the two interior angles that are opposite (d = b + c). The perimeter of a triangle is equal to the sum of the lengths of its three sides, the height of a triangle is equal to the length from the base to the opposite vertex (angle) and the area equals one-half triangle base x height: a = ½ base x height.


5

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

24% Answer Correctly

c = π r2

c = π d2

c = π r

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.
