1

If a = 5, b = 7, c = 6, and d = 3, what is the perimeter of this quadrilateral?

88% Answer Correctly
24
18
31
21

Solution

Perimeter is equal to the sum of the four sides:

p = a + b + c + d
p = 5 + 7 + 6 + 3
p = 21


2

If b = 7 and z = -6, what is the value of -4b(b - z)?

68% Answer Correctly
18
-364
0
-16

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.)

-4b(b - z)
-4(7)(7 + 6)
-4(7)(13)
(-28)(13)
-364


3

If a = c = 8, b = d = 9, what is the area of this rectangle?

79% Answer Correctly
42
72
63
9

Solution

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

a = l x w
a = a x b
a = 8 x 9
a = 72


4

Which of the following is not a part of PEMDAS, the acronym for math order of operations?

88% Answer Correctly

pairs

division

exponents

addition


Solution

When solving an equation with two variables, 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.)

Simplify (7a)(4ab) + (9a2)(5b).

65% Answer Correctly
154ab2
-17ab2
73a2b
17a2b

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.

(7a)(4ab) + (9a2)(5b)
(7 x 4)(a x a x b) + (9 x 5)(a2 x b)
(28)(a1+1 x b) + (45)(a2b)
28a2b + 45a2b
73a2b
