1

If a = c = 6, b = d = 1, and the blue angle = 75°, what is the area of this parallelogram?

65% Answer Correctly
36
45
6
24

Solution

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

a = l x w
a = a x b
a = 6 x 1
a = 6


2

For this diagram, the Pythagorean theorem states that b2 = ?

47% Answer Correctly

a2 - c2

c2 - a2

c2 + a2

c - a


Solution

The Pythagorean theorem defines the relationship between the side lengths of a right triangle. The length of the hypotenuse squared (c2) is equal to the sum of the two perpendicular sides squared (a2 + b2): c2 = a2 + b2 or, solved for c, \(c = \sqrt{a + b}\)


3

If side a = 4, side b = 6, what is the length of the hypotenuse of this right triangle?

63% Answer Correctly
\( \sqrt{85} \)
\( \sqrt{80} \)
\( \sqrt{50} \)
\( \sqrt{52} \)

Solution

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

c2 = a2 + b2
c2 = 42 + 62
c2 = 16 + 36
c2 = 52
c = \( \sqrt{52} \)


4

If b = 9 and z = 2, what is the value of -2b(b - z)?

68% Answer Correctly
-144
-60
-126
256

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.)

-2b(b - z)
-2(9)(9 - 2)
-2(9)(7)
(-18)(7)
-126


5

To multiply binomials, use the FOIL method. Which of the following is not a part of the FOIL method?

82% Answer Correctly

Last

Odd

Inside

First


Solution

To multiply binomials, use the FOIL method. FOIL stands for First, Outside, Inside, Last and refers to the position of each term in the parentheses.
