1

Which types of triangles will always have at least two sides of equal length?

54% Answer Correctly

equilateral and right

equilateral, isosceles and right

isosceles and right

equilateral and isosceles


Solution

An isosceles triangle has two sides of equal length. An equilateral triangle has three sides of equal length. In a right triangle, two sides meet at a right angle.


2

Which of the following statements about math operations is incorrect?

71% Answer Correctly

all of these statements are correct

you can multiply monomials that have different variables and different exponents

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

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


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.


3

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

70% Answer Correctly

equal length

equal angle

parallel

right angle


Solution

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


4

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

46% Answer Correctly

trisects

bisects

midpoints

intersects


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

Simplify (8a)(7ab) - (9a2)(5b).

62% Answer Correctly
-11ab2
101a2b
11a2b
101ab2

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.

(8a)(7ab) - (9a2)(5b)
(8 x 7)(a x a x b) - (9 x 5)(a2 x b)
(56)(a1+1 x b) - (45)(a2b)
56a2b - 45a2b
11a2b
