1

If AD = 13 and BD = 7, AB = ?

76% Answer Correctly
6
16
12
1

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 = 13 - 7
AB = 6


2

Which of the following statements about a triangle is not true?

58% Answer Correctly

exterior angle = sum of two adjacent interior angles

area = ½bh

sum of interior angles = 180°

perimeter = sum of side lengths


Solution

A triangle is a three-sided polygon. It has three interior angles that add up to 180° (a + b + c = 180°). An exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the two interior angles that are opposite (d = b + c). The perimeter of a triangle is equal to the sum of the lengths of its three sides, the height of a triangle is equal to the length from the base to the opposite vertex (angle) and the area equals one-half triangle base x height: a = ½ base x height.


3

Which of the following expressions contains exactly two terms?

83% Answer Correctly

polynomial

quadratic

binomial

monomial


Solution

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


4

If the base of this triangle is 6 and the height is 4, what is the area?

58% Answer Correctly
49\(\frac{1}{2}\)
66
12
32\(\frac{1}{2}\)

Solution

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

a = ½bh
a = ½ x 6 x 4 = \( \frac{24}{2} \) = 12


5

Solve for x:
2x - 2 > -4 + x

55% Answer Correctly
x > -1
x > \(\frac{3}{5}\)
x > -2
x > -\(\frac{4}{9}\)

Solution

To solve this equation, repeatedly do the same thing to both sides of the equation until the variable is isolated on one side of the > sign and the answer on the other.

2x - 2 > -4 + x
2x > -4 + x + 2
2x - x > -4 + 2
x > -2
