1

A(n) __________ is two expressions separated by an equal sign.

76% Answer Correctly

equation

expression

formula

problem


Solution

An equation is two expressions separated by an equal sign. The key to solving equations is to 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.


2

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

77% Answer Correctly

a = π r

a = π d

a = π d2

a = π r2


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

If side x = 9cm, side y = 13cm, and side z = 6cm what is the perimeter of this triangle?

84% Answer Correctly
35cm
28cm
32cm
21cm

Solution

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

p = x + y + z
p = 9cm + 13cm + 6cm = 28cm


4

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

75% Answer Correctly

acute, obtuse, right

right, obtuse, acute

right, acute, obtuse

acute, right, obtuse


Solution

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


5

Solve for b:
-6b + 9 < 4 + 4b

55% Answer Correctly
b < \(\frac{1}{2}\)
b < 1\(\frac{1}{4}\)
b < \(\frac{3}{8}\)
b < \(\frac{1}{4}\)

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 < sign and the answer on the other.

-6b + 9 < 4 + 4b
-6b < 4 + 4b - 9
-6b - 4b < 4 - 9
-10b < -5
b < \( \frac{-5}{-10} \)
b < \(\frac{1}{2}\)
