1

If the base of this triangle is 7 and the height is 5, what is the area?

58% Answer Correctly
27
49
17\(\frac{1}{2}\)
70

Solution

The area of a triangle is equal to ½ base x height:

a = ½bh
a = ½ x 7 x 5 = \( \frac{35}{2} \) = 17\(\frac{1}{2}\)


2

The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, -1) and (2, 5). What is the slope of this line?

46% Answer Correctly
-2
-1\(\frac{1}{2}\)
2
1\(\frac{1}{2}\)

Solution

The slope of this line is the change in y divided by the change in x. The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, -1) and (2, 5) so the slope becomes:

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(5.0) - (-1.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{6}{4} \)
m = 1\(\frac{1}{2}\)


3

Simplify (9a)(2ab) - (8a2)(7b).

59% Answer Correctly
74ab2
-38a2b
165a2b
38ab2

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.

(9a)(2ab) - (8a2)(7b)
(9 x 2)(a x a x b) - (8 x 7)(a2 x b)
(18)(a1+1 x b) - (56)(a2b)
18a2b - 56a2b
-38a2b


4

What is the area of a circle with a radius of 4?

69% Answer Correctly
16π
64π

Solution

The formula for area is πr2:

a = πr2
a = π(42)
a = 16π


5

The formula for the area of a circle is which of the following?

77% Answer Correctly

a = π r

a = π d

a = π r2

a = π d2


Solution

The circumference of a circle is the distance around its perimeter and equals π (approx. 3.14159) x diameter: c = π d. The area of a circle is π x (radius)2 : a = π r2.
