1

If a = -8 and z = 8, what is the value of 9a(a - z)?

69% Answer Correctly
-112
144
84
1152

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.)

9a(a - z)
9(-8)(-8 - 8)
9(-8)(-16)
(-72)(-16)
1152


2

The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 2 and radius (r) = 5. What is the volume?

63% Answer Correctly
50π
12π
98π
252π

Solution

The volume of a cylinder is πr2h:

v = πr2h
v = π(52 x 2)
v = 50π


3

What is 3a + 2a?

81% Answer Correctly
5a2
5a
1
6a

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 + 2a = 5a


4

If side a = 1, side b = 1, what is the length of the hypotenuse of this right triangle?

64% Answer Correctly
\( \sqrt{2} \)
\( \sqrt{80} \)
\( \sqrt{106} \)
\( \sqrt{20} \)

Solution

According to the Pythagorean theorem, the hypotenuse squared is equal to the sum of the two perpendicular sides squared:

c2 = a2 + b2
c2 = 12 + 12
c2 = 1 + 1
c2 = 2
c = \( \sqrt{2} \)


5

Which of the following statements about a parallelogram is not true?

50% Answer Correctly

opposite sides and adjacent angles are equal

the area of a parallelogram is base x height

a parallelogram is a quadrilateral

the perimeter of a parallelogram is the sum of the lengths of all sides


Solution

A parallelogram is a quadrilateral with two sets of parallel sides. Opposite sides (a = c, b = d) and angles (red = red, blue = blue) are equal. The area of a parallelogram is base x height and the perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all sides (a + b + c + d).
