What is 5a3 + 2a3?

74% Answer Correctly
a36
3a6
7a3
10a3

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.

5a3 + 2a3 = 7a3


2

The dimensions of this trapezoid are a = 6, b = 7, c = 8, d = 5, and h = 4. What is the area?

50% Answer Correctly
13\(\frac{1}{2}\)
24
11
30

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(7 + 5)(4)
a = ½(12)(4)
a = ½(48) = \( \frac{48}{2} \)
a = 24


3

If side x = 15cm, side y = 15cm, and side z = 13cm what is the perimeter of this triangle?

84% Answer Correctly
34cm
43cm
33cm
29cm

Solution

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

p = x + y + z
p = 15cm + 15cm + 13cm = 43cm


4

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

60% Answer Correctly

obtuse, acute

vertical, supplementary

supplementary, vertical

acute, obtuse


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).


5

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

57% Answer Correctly

sum of interior angles = 180°

exterior angle = sum of two adjacent interior angles

perimeter = sum of side lengths

area = ½bh


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.
