Simplify (5a)(6ab) - (6a2)(6b).

62% Answer Correctly
66ab2
132ab2
132a2b
-6a2b

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.

(5a)(6ab) - (6a2)(6b)
(5 x 6)(a x a x b) - (6 x 6)(a2 x b)
(30)(a1+1 x b) - (36)(a2b)
30a2b - 36a2b
-6a2b


2

If the length of AB equals the length of BD, point B __________ this line segment.

45% Answer Correctly

midpoints

intersects

bisects

trisects


Solution

A line segment is a portion of a line with a measurable length. The midpoint of a line segment is the point exactly halfway between the endpoints. The midpoint bisects (cuts in half) the line segment.


3

If a = c = 2, b = d = 4, and the blue angle = 74°, what is the area of this parallelogram?

65% Answer Correctly
4
8
18
2

Solution

The area of a parallelogram is equal to its length x width:

a = l x w
a = a x b
a = 2 x 4
a = 8


4

If side a = 4, side b = 1, what is the length of the hypotenuse of this right triangle?

64% Answer Correctly
\( \sqrt{17} \)
\( \sqrt{40} \)
\( \sqrt{58} \)
\( \sqrt{162} \)

Solution

According to the Pythagorean theorem, the hypotenuse squared is equal to the sum of the two perpendicular sides squared:

c2 = a2 + b2
c2 = 42 + 12
c2 = 16 + 1
c2 = 17
c = \( \sqrt{17} \)


5

If BD = 28 and AD = 29, AB = ?

75% Answer Correctly
9
18
1
13

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 = 29 - 28
AB = 1
