What is 8a8 - 4a8?

74% Answer Correctly
32a16
4a8
32a8
4a16

Solution

To combine like terms, add or subtract the coefficients (the numbers that come before the variables) of terms that have the same variable raised to the same exponent.

8a8 - 4a8 = 4a8


2

Which of the following is not true about both rectangles and squares?

64% Answer Correctly

the lengths of all sides are equal

the area is length x width

the perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all four sides

all interior angles are right angles


Solution

A rectangle is a parallelogram containing four right angles. Opposite sides (a = c, b = d) are equal and the perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all sides (a + b + c + d) or, comonly, 2 x length x width. The area of a rectangle is length x width. A square is a rectangle with four equal length sides. The perimeter of a square is 4 x length of one side (4s) and the area is the length of one side squared (s2).


3

What is 3a - 9a?

80% Answer Correctly
a2
-6
-6a
12a2

Solution

To combine like terms, add or subtract the coefficients (the numbers that come before the variables) of terms that have the same variable raised to the same exponent.

3a - 9a = -6a


4

Which types of triangles will always have at least two sides of equal length?

55% Answer Correctly

equilateral and right

isosceles and right

equilateral, isosceles and right

equilateral and isosceles


Solution

An isosceles triangle has two sides of equal length. An equilateral triangle has three sides of equal length. In a right triangle, two sides meet at a right angle.


5

If a = c = 7, b = d = 6, what is the area of this rectangle?

80% Answer Correctly
42
32
63
12

Solution

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

a = l x w
a = a x b
a = 7 x 6
a = 42
