1

If a = c = 7, b = d = 4, what is the area of this rectangle?

79% Answer Correctly
63
28
10
15

Solution

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

a = l x w
a = a x b
a = 7 x 4
a = 28


2

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

74% Answer Correctly

acute, right, obtuse

right, obtuse, acute

acute, obtuse, right

right, acute, obtuse


Solution

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


3

What is 8a + 9a?

81% Answer Correctly
17
17a2
17a
72a

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.

8a + 9a = 17a


4

The formula for the area of a circle is which of the following?

24% Answer Correctly

c = π r2

c = π d

c = π r

c = π d2


Solution

The circumference of a circle is the distance around its perimeter and equals π (approx. 3.14159) x diameter: c = π d. The area of a circle is π x (radius)2 : a = π r2.


5

The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, 2) and (2, -6). What is the slope-intercept equation for this line?

41% Answer Correctly
y = -x + 0
y = -\(\frac{1}{2}\)x - 4
y = -2x - 2
y = x + 0

Solution

The slope-intercept equation for a line is y = mx + b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept of the line. From the graph, you can see that the y-intercept (the y-value from the point where the line crosses the y-axis) is -2. The slope of this line is the change in y divided by the change in x. The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, 2) and (2, -6) so the slope becomes:

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(-6.0) - (2.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{-8}{4} \)
m = -2

Plugging these values into the slope-intercept equation:

y = -2x - 2
