What is 8a3 - 7a3?

73% Answer Correctly
15a6
15
1a3
1

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.

8a3 - 7a3 = 1a3


2

If angle a = 49° and angle b = 25° what is the length of angle d?

56% Answer Correctly
144°
127°
130°
131°

Solution

An exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the two interior angles that are opposite:

d° = b° + c°

To find angle c, remember that the sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°:

180° = a° + b° + c°
c° = 180° - a° - b°
c° = 180° - 49° - 25° = 106°

So, d° = 25° + 106° = 131°

A shortcut to get this answer is to remember that angles around a line add up to 180°:

a° + d° = 180°
d° = 180° - a°
d° = 180° - 49° = 131°


3

If the length of AB equals the length of BD, point B __________ this line segment.

45% Answer Correctly

trisects

midpoints

bisects

intersects


Solution

A line segment is a portion of a line with a measurable length. The midpoint of a line segment is the point exactly halfway between the endpoints. The midpoint bisects (cuts in half) the line segment.


4

If a = c = 9, b = d = 4, and the blue angle = 77°, what is the area of this parallelogram?

65% Answer Correctly
8
36
24
63

Solution

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

a = l x w
a = a x b
a = 9 x 4
a = 36


5

Solve for z:
z2 - 9z + 18 = 0

58% Answer Correctly
3 or 6
3 or -8
2 or -9
-1 or -6

Solution

The first step to solve a quadratic equation that's set to zero is to factor the quadratic equation:

z2 - 9z + 18 = 0
(z - 3)(z - 6) = 0

For this expression to be true, the left side of the expression must equal zero. Therefore, either (z - 3) or (z - 6) must equal zero:

If (z - 3) = 0, z must equal 3
If (z - 6) = 0, z must equal 6

So the solution is that z = 3 or 6
