1

If a = c = 4, b = d = 5, what is the area of this rectangle?

79% Answer Correctly
20
81
2
24

Solution

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

a = l x w
a = a x b
a = 4 x 5
a = 20


2

What is 2a4 - 5a4?

73% Answer Correctly
10a8
-3
-3a4
-3a8

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.

2a4 - 5a4 = -3a4


3

Solve for x:
2x + 5 < -2 - 8x

54% Answer Correctly
x < -\(\frac{7}{10}\)
x < 1
x < 4
x < \(\frac{7}{9}\)

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.

2x + 5 < -2 - 8x
2x < -2 - 8x - 5
2x + 8x < -2 - 5
10x < -7
x < \( \frac{-7}{10} \)
x < -\(\frac{7}{10}\)


4

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

76% Answer Correctly

a = π r2

a = π d2

a = π r

a = π d


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

Which of the following is not true about both rectangles and squares?

63% Answer Correctly

the perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all four sides

the area is length x width

the lengths of all sides are equal

all interior angles are right angles


Solution

A rectangle is a parallelogram containing four right angles. Opposite sides (a = c, b = d) are equal and the perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all sides (a + b + c + d) or, comonly, 2 x length x width. The area of a rectangle is length x width. A square is a rectangle with four equal length sides. The perimeter of a square is 4 x length of one side (4s) and the area is the length of one side squared (s2).
