1

If a = 7, b = 4, c = 8, and d = 5, what is the perimeter of this quadrilateral?

88% Answer Correctly
24
23
18
26

Solution

Perimeter is equal to the sum of the four sides:

p = a + b + c + d
p = 7 + 4 + 8 + 5
p = 24


2

If side a = 5, side b = 3, what is the length of the hypotenuse of this right triangle?

63% Answer Correctly
\( \sqrt{41} \)
\( \sqrt{90} \)
\( \sqrt{89} \)
\( \sqrt{34} \)

Solution

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

c2 = a2 + b2
c2 = 52 + 32
c2 = 25 + 9
c2 = 34
c = \( \sqrt{34} \)


3

What is the area of a circle with a diameter of 8?

69% Answer Correctly
25π
6π
16π
9π

Solution

The formula for area is πr2. Radius is circle \( \frac{diameter}{2} \):

r = \( \frac{d}{2} \)
r = \( \frac{8}{2} \)
r = 4
a = πr2
a = π(42)
a = 16π


4

If angle a = 65° and angle b = 49° what is the length of angle d?

56% Answer Correctly
144°
118°
115°
131°

Solution

An exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the two interior angles that are opposite:

d° = b° + c°

To find angle c, remember that the sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°:

180° = a° + b° + c°
c° = 180° - a° - b°
c° = 180° - 65° - 49° = 66°

So, d° = 49° + 66° = 115°

A shortcut to get this answer is to remember that angles around a line add up to 180°:

a° + d° = 180°
d° = 180° - a°
d° = 180° - 65° = 115°


5

Which of the following expressions contains exactly two terms?

81% Answer Correctly

quadratic

polynomial

binomial

monomial


Solution

A monomial contains one term, a binomial contains two terms, and a polynomial contains more than two terms.
