Simplify (8a)(8ab) - (5a2)(7b).

62% Answer Correctly
99a2b
192a2b
29a2b
99ab2

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.

(8a)(8ab) - (5a2)(7b)
(8 x 8)(a x a x b) - (5 x 7)(a2 x b)
(64)(a1+1 x b) - (35)(a2b)
64a2b - 35a2b
29a2b

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

58% Answer Correctly

area = ½bh

exterior angle = sum of two adjacent interior angles

sum of interior angles = 180°

perimeter = sum of side lengths


Solution

A triangle is a three-sided polygon. It has three interior angles that add up to 180° (a + b + c = 180°). An exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the two interior angles that are opposite (d = b + c). The perimeter of a triangle is equal to the sum of the lengths of its three sides, the height of a triangle is equal to the length from the base to the opposite vertex (angle) and the area equals one-half triangle base x height: a = ½ base x height.

This diagram represents two parallel lines with a transversal. If a° = 18, what is the value of y°?

73% Answer Correctly
29
162
25
141

Solution

For parallel lines with a transversal, the following relationships apply:

  • angles in the same position on different parallel lines equal each other (a° = w°, b° = x°, c° = z°, d° = y°)
  • alternate interior angles are equal (a° = z°, b° = y°, c° = w°, d° = x°)
  • all acute angles (a° = c° = w° = z°) and all obtuse angles (b° = d° = x° = y°) equal each other
  • same-side interior angles are supplementary and add up to 180° (e.g. a° + d° = 180°, d° + c° = 180°)

Applying these relationships starting with a° = 18, the value of y° is 162.

Find the value of b:
b + z = 2
4b + 5z = 3

42% Answer Correctly
7
1
\(\frac{7}{20}\)
-4\(\frac{3}{4}\)

Solution

You need to find the value of b so solve the first equation in terms of z:

b + z = 2
z = 2 - b

then substitute the result (2 - 1b) into the second equation:

4b + 5(2 - b) = 3
4b + (5 x 2) + (5 x -b) = 3
4b + 10 - 5b = 3
4b - 5b = 3 - 10
-b = -7
b = \( \frac{-7}{-1} \)
b = 7

What is the circumference of a circle with a diameter of 9?

71% Answer Correctly
38π

Solution

The formula for circumference is circle diameter x π:

c = πd
c = 9π
