1

If AD = 26 and BD = 17, AB = ?

76% Answer Correctly
8
17
9
2

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 = 26 - 17
AB = 9


2

If side x = 8cm, side y = 15cm, and side z = 11cm what is the perimeter of this triangle?

85% Answer Correctly
31cm
30cm
20cm
34cm

Solution

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

p = x + y + z
p = 8cm + 15cm + 11cm = 34cm


3

Which of the following is not a part of PEMDAS, the acronym for math order of operations?

92% Answer Correctly

addition

division

exponents

pairs


Solution

When solving an equation with two variables, replace the variables with the values given and then solve the now variable-free equation. (Remember order of operations, PEMDAS, Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication/Division, Addition/Subtraction.)


4

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

77% Answer Correctly

problem

equation

expression

formula


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.


5

Which of the following is not true about both rectangles and squares?

63% Answer Correctly

the area is length x width

all interior angles are right angles

the lengths of all sides are equal

the perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all four sides


Solution

A rectangle is a parallelogram containing four right angles. Opposite sides (a = c, b = d) are equal and the perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all sides (a + b + c + d) or, comonly, 2 x length x width. The area of a rectangle is length x width. A square is a rectangle with four equal length sides. The perimeter of a square is 4 x length of one side (4s) and the area is the length of one side squared (s2).
