1

A coordinate grid is composed of which of the following?

91% Answer Correctly

x-axis

origin

all of these

y-axis


Solution

The coordinate grid is composed of a horizontal x-axis and a vertical y-axis. The center of the grid, where the x-axis and y-axis meet, is called the origin.


2

If side x = 5cm, side y = 8cm, and side z = 8cm what is the perimeter of this triangle?

85% Answer Correctly
21cm
24cm
29cm
16cm

Solution

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

p = x + y + z
p = 5cm + 8cm + 8cm = 21cm


3

What is 9a + 2a?

81% Answer Correctly
11a
7a2
a2
11

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.

9a + 2a = 11a


4

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.

On this circle, line segment CD is the:

46% Answer Correctly

diameter

radius

chord

circumference


Solution

A circle is a figure in which each point around its perimeter is an equal distance from the center. The radius of a circle is the distance between the center and any point along its perimeter. A chord is a line segment that connects any two points along its perimeter. The diameter of a circle is the length of a chord that passes through the center of the circle and equals twice the circle's radius (2r).
