1

The dimensions of this trapezoid are a = 5, b = 5, c = 8, d = 8, and h = 3. What is the area?

51% Answer Correctly
19\(\frac{1}{2}\)
13\(\frac{1}{2}\)
18
22\(\frac{1}{2}\)

Solution

The area of a trapezoid is one-half the sum of the lengths of the parallel sides multiplied by the height:

a = ½(b + d)(h)
a = ½(5 + 8)(3)
a = ½(13)(3)
a = ½(39) = \( \frac{39}{2} \)
a = 19\(\frac{1}{2}\)


2

Solve for b:
-2b - 2 = \( \frac{b}{9} \)

46% Answer Correctly
-\(\frac{18}{55}\)
-\(\frac{6}{49}\)
-\(\frac{18}{19}\)
-\(\frac{8}{31}\)

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 equal sign and the answer on the other.

-2b - 2 = \( \frac{b}{9} \)
9 x (-2b - 2) = b
(9 x -2b) + (9 x -2) = b
-18b - 18 = b
-18b - 18 - b = 0
-18b - b = 18
-19b = 18
b = \( \frac{18}{-19} \)
b = -\(\frac{18}{19}\)


3

Which of the following expressions contains exactly two terms?

83% Answer Correctly

quadratic

polynomial

binomial

monomial


Solution

A monomial contains one term, a binomial contains two terms, and a polynomial contains more than two terms.


4

Simplify 4a x 2b.

86% Answer Correctly
6ab
8\( \frac{a}{b} \)
8ab
8\( \frac{b}{a} \)

Solution

To multiply monomials, multiply the coefficients (the numbers that come before the variables) of each term, add the exponents of like variables, and multiply the different variables together.

4a x 2b = (4 x 2) (a x b) = 8ab


5

Solve for b:
-b + 6 < 3 + 8b

55% Answer Correctly
b < -\(\frac{2}{5}\)
b < \(\frac{1}{3}\)
b < 1\(\frac{2}{7}\)
b < -\(\frac{1}{2}\)

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.

-b + 6 < 3 + 8b
-b < 3 + 8b - 6
-b - 8b < 3 - 6
-9b < -3
b < \( \frac{-3}{-9} \)
b < \(\frac{1}{3}\)
