1

If side x = 9cm, side y = 7cm, and side z = 15cm what is the perimeter of this triangle?

85% Answer Correctly
33cm
24cm
35cm
31cm

Solution

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

p = x + y + z
p = 9cm + 7cm + 15cm = 31cm


2

If a = c = 1, b = d = 3, and the blue angle = 51°, what is the area of this parallelogram?

66% Answer Correctly
32
14
3
15

Solution

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

a = l x w
a = a x b
a = 1 x 3
a = 3


3

The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 4 and radius (r) = 7. What is the surface area?

48% Answer Correctly
44π
120π
154π

Solution

The surface area of a cylinder is 2πr2 + 2πrh:

sa = 2πr2 + 2πrh
sa = 2π(72) + 2π(7 x 4)
sa = 2π(49) + 2π(28)
sa = (2 x 49)π + (2 x 28)π
sa = 98π + 56π
sa = 154π


4

Solve for y:
y2 + 2y - 39 = -y + 1

49% Answer Correctly
4 or -3
4 or -2
7 or -8
5 or -8

Solution

The first step to solve a quadratic expression that's not set to zero is to solve the equation so that it is set to zero:

y2 + 2y - 39 = -y + 1
y2 + 2y - 39 - 1 = -y
y2 + 2y + y - 40 = 0
y2 + 3y - 40 = 0

Next, factor the quadratic equation:

y2 + 3y - 40 = 0
(y - 5)(y + 8) = 0

For this expression to be true, the left side of the expression must equal zero. Therefore, either (y - 5) or (y + 8) must equal zero:

If (y - 5) = 0, y must equal 5
If (y + 8) = 0, y must equal -8

So the solution is that y = 5 or -8

Which of the following statements about math operations is incorrect?

71% Answer Correctly

you can add monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent

you can subtract monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent

you can multiply monomials that have different variables and different exponents

all of these statements are correct


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.
