If side x = 15cm, side y = 12cm, and side z = 15cm what is the perimeter of this triangle?

85% Answer Correctly
27cm
34cm
42cm
38cm

Solution

The perimeter of a triangle is the sum of the lengths of its sides:

p = x + y + z
p = 15cm + 12cm + 15cm = 42cm

Solve for a:
a + 6 > \( \frac{a}{6} \)

45% Answer Correctly
a > -\(\frac{7}{9}\)
a > -7\(\frac{1}{5}\)
a > -\(\frac{72}{73}\)
a > -3\(\frac{1}{5}\)

Solution

To solve this equation, repeatedly do the same thing to both sides of the equation until the variable is isolated on one side of the > sign and the answer on the other.

a + 6 > \( \frac{a}{6} \)
6 x (a + 6) > a
(6 x a) + (6 x 6) > a
6a + 36 > a
6a + 36 - a > 0
6a - a > -36
5a > -36
a > \( \frac{-36}{5} \)
a > -7\(\frac{1}{5}\)


3

When two lines intersect, adjacent angles are __________ (they add up to 180°) and angles across from either other are __________ (they're equal).

61% Answer Correctly

obtuse, acute

acute, obtuse

supplementary, vertical

vertical, supplementary


Solution

Angles around a line add up to 180°. Angles around a point add up to 360°. When two lines intersect, adjacent angles are supplementary (they add up to 180°) and angles across from either other are vertical (they're equal).


4

What is 2a - 6a?

80% Answer Correctly
-4a
a2
-4
-4a2

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.

2a - 6a = -4a


5

What is 2a + 9a?

81% Answer Correctly
18a2
a2
-7a2
11a

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.

2a + 9a = 11a
