1

If a = 4, b = 7, c = 5, and d = 2, what is the perimeter of this quadrilateral?

88% Answer Correctly
23
17
28
18

Solution

Perimeter is equal to the sum of the four sides:

p = a + b + c + d
p = 4 + 7 + 5 + 2
p = 18


2

A right angle measures:

90% Answer Correctly

45°

360°

180°

90°


Solution

A right angle measures 90 degrees and is the intersection of two perpendicular lines. In diagrams, a right angle is indicated by a small box completing a square with the perpendicular lines.


3

To multiply binomials, use the FOIL method. Which of the following is not a part of the FOIL method?

83% Answer Correctly

First

Odd

Inside

Last


Solution

To multiply binomials, use the FOIL method. FOIL stands for First, Outside, Inside, Last and refers to the position of each term in the parentheses.


4

Solve for z:
z2 + 9z + 14 = 0

58% Answer Correctly
1 or -5
2 or -2
6 or -4
-2 or -7

Solution

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

z2 + 9z + 14 = 0
(z + 2)(z + 7) = 0

For this expression to be true, the left side of the expression must equal zero. Therefore, either (z + 2) or (z + 7) must equal zero:

If (z + 2) = 0, z must equal -2
If (z + 7) = 0, z must equal -7

So the solution is that z = -2 or -7


5

If the base of this triangle is 8 and the height is 6, what is the area?

58% Answer Correctly
105
24
44
25

Solution

The area of a triangle is equal to ½ base x height:

a = ½bh
a = ½ x 8 x 6 = \( \frac{48}{2} \) = 24
