1

Order the following types of angle from least number of degrees to most number of degrees.

74% Answer Correctly

right, acute, obtuse

acute, right, obtuse

right, obtuse, acute

acute, obtuse, right


Solution

An acute angle measures less than 90°, a right angle measures 90°, and an obtuse angle measures more than 90°.


2

The dimensions of this trapezoid are a = 6, b = 6, c = 9, d = 9, and h = 4. What is the area?

50% Answer Correctly
18
10
30
20

Solution

The area of a trapezoid is one-half the sum of the lengths of the parallel sides multiplied by the height:

a = ½(b + d)(h)
a = ½(6 + 9)(4)
a = ½(15)(4)
a = ½(60) = \( \frac{60}{2} \)
a = 30


3

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

87% Answer Correctly

exponents

addition

division

pairs


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.)


4

Simplify (2a)(3ab) - (6a2)(7b).

59% Answer Correctly
36ab2
-36a2b
48ab2
65ab2

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.

(2a)(3ab) - (6a2)(7b)
(2 x 3)(a x a x b) - (6 x 7)(a2 x b)
(6)(a1+1 x b) - (42)(a2b)
6a2b - 42a2b
-36a2b


5

A(n) __________ is two expressions separated by an equal sign.

76% Answer Correctly

problem

formula

expression

equation


Solution

An equation is two expressions separated by an equal sign. The key to solving equations is to repeatedly do the same thing to both sides of the equation until the variable is isolated on one side of the equal sign and the answer on the other.
