1

If a = 2, b = 9, c = 4, and d = 4, what is the perimeter of this quadrilateral?

88% Answer Correctly
19
18
29
21

Solution

Perimeter is equal to the sum of the four sides:

p = a + b + c + d
p = 2 + 9 + 4 + 4
p = 19


2

If a = -7 and x = -6, what is the value of -8a(a - x)?

68% Answer Correctly
-385
-56
-416
-324

Solution

To solve this equation, replace the variables with the values given and then solve the now variable-free equation. (Remember order of operations, PEMDAS, Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication/Division, Addition/Subtraction.)

-8a(a - x)
-8(-7)(-7 + 6)
-8(-7)(-1)
(56)(-1)
-56


3

What is 5a + 8a?

81% Answer Correctly
-3
13
-3a2
13a

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.

5a + 8a = 13a


4

Which of the following is not true about both rectangles and squares?

63% Answer Correctly

all interior angles are right angles

the area is length x width

the lengths of all sides are equal

the perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all four sides


Solution

A rectangle is a parallelogram containing four right angles. Opposite sides (a = c, b = d) are equal and the perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all sides (a + b + c + d) or, comonly, 2 x length x width. The area of a rectangle is length x width. A square is a rectangle with four equal length sides. The perimeter of a square is 4 x length of one side (4s) and the area is the length of one side squared (s2).


5

Which of the following expressions contains exactly two terms?

82% Answer Correctly

binomial

monomial

polynomial

quadratic


Solution

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