1

A quadrilateral is a shape with __________ sides.

91% Answer Correctly

5

3

4

2


Solution

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


2

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.


3

To multiply binomials, use the FOIL method. Which of the following is not a part of the FOIL method?

84% Answer Correctly

Last

Odd

Inside

First


Solution

To multiply binomials, use the FOIL method. FOIL stands for First, Outside, Inside, Last and refers to the position of each term in the parentheses.


4

Solve for x:
-5x - 8 = \( \frac{x}{-5} \)

46% Answer Correctly
1\(\frac{5}{31}\)
-\(\frac{8}{49}\)
-1\(\frac{2}{3}\)
-\(\frac{3}{7}\)

Solution

To solve this equation, repeatedly do the same thing to both sides of the equation until the variable is isolated on one side of the equal sign and the answer on the other.

-5x - 8 = \( \frac{x}{-5} \)
-5 x (-5x - 8) = x
(-5 x -5x) + (-5 x -8) = x
25x + 40 = x
25x + 40 - x = 0
25x - x = -40
24x = -40
x = \( \frac{-40}{24} \)
x = -1\(\frac{2}{3}\)


5

Simplify (2a)(5ab) + (2a2)(8b).

66% Answer Correctly
-6a2b
70a2b
26a2b
-6ab2

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.

(2a)(5ab) + (2a2)(8b)
(2 x 5)(a x a x b) + (2 x 8)(a2 x b)
(10)(a1+1 x b) + (16)(a2b)
10a2b + 16a2b
26a2b
