1

If side x = 9cm, side y = 9cm, and side z = 9cm what is the perimeter of this triangle?

85% Answer Correctly
37cm
28cm
30cm
27cm

Solution

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

p = x + y + z
p = 9cm + 9cm + 9cm = 27cm


2

Which of the following statements about math operations is incorrect?

71% Answer Correctly

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

all of these statements are correct

you can multiply monomials that have different variables and different exponents


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.


3

Which of the following expressions contains exactly two terms?

83% Answer Correctly

monomial

quadratic

polynomial

binomial


Solution

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


4

A(n) __________ is two expressions separated by an equal sign.

77% Answer Correctly

formula

expression

problem

equation


Solution

An equation is two expressions separated by an equal sign. The key to solving equations is to repeatedly do the same thing to both sides of the equation until the variable is isolated on one side of the equal sign and the answer on the other.

If a = c = 3, b = d = 5, and the blue angle = 54°, what is the area of this parallelogram?

66% Answer Correctly
3
15
8
12

Solution

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

a = l x w
a = a x b
a = 3 x 5
a = 15
