What is 7a - 9a?

80% Answer Correctly
63a
-2a
-2
a2

Solution

To combine like terms, add or subtract the coefficients (the numbers that come before the variables) of terms that have the same variable raised to the same exponent.

7a - 9a = -2a


2

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

50% Answer Correctly

opposite sides and adjacent angles are equal

the area of a parallelogram is base x height

the perimeter of a parallelogram is the sum of the lengths of all sides

a parallelogram is a quadrilateral


Solution

A parallelogram is a quadrilateral with two sets of parallel sides. Opposite sides (a = c, b = d) and angles (red = red, blue = blue) are equal. The area of a parallelogram is base x height and the perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all sides (a + b + c + d).


3

The dimensions of this trapezoid are a = 6, b = 2, c = 9, d = 7, and h = 4. What is the area?

51% Answer Correctly
12
32
28
18

Solution

The area of a trapezoid is one-half the sum of the lengths of the parallel sides multiplied by the height:

a = ½(b + d)(h)
a = ½(2 + 7)(4)
a = ½(9)(4)
a = ½(36) = \( \frac{36}{2} \)
a = 18


4

If a = 9, b = 1, c = 5, and d = 3, what is the perimeter of this quadrilateral?

88% Answer Correctly
22
14
20
18

Solution

Perimeter is equal to the sum of the four sides:

p = a + b + c + d
p = 9 + 1 + 5 + 3
p = 18


5

When two lines intersect, adjacent angles are __________ (they add up to 180°) and angles across from either other are __________ (they're equal).

61% Answer Correctly

obtuse, acute

acute, obtuse

vertical, supplementary

supplementary, vertical


Solution

Angles around a line add up to 180°. Angles around a point add up to 360°. When two lines intersect, adjacent angles are supplementary (they add up to 180°) and angles across from either other are vertical (they're equal).
