1

What is 8a + 7a?

81% Answer Correctly
15a
56a2
15
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.

8a + 7a = 15a


2

If side a = 6, side b = 8, what is the length of the hypotenuse of this right triangle?

64% Answer Correctly
\( \sqrt{5} \)
\( \sqrt{40} \)
\( \sqrt{90} \)
10

Solution

According to the Pythagorean theorem, the hypotenuse squared is equal to the sum of the two perpendicular sides squared:

c2 = a2 + b2
c2 = 62 + 82
c2 = 36 + 64
c2 = 100
c = \( \sqrt{100} \)
c = 10


3

A coordinate grid is composed of which of the following?

91% Answer Correctly

y-axis

origin

all of these

x-axis


Solution

The coordinate grid is composed of a horizontal x-axis and a vertical y-axis. The center of the grid, where the x-axis and y-axis meet, is called the origin.


4

Which types of triangles will always have at least two sides of equal length?

54% Answer Correctly

equilateral, isosceles and right

equilateral and right

equilateral and isosceles

isosceles and right


Solution

An isosceles triangle has two sides of equal length. An equilateral triangle has three sides of equal length. In a right triangle, two sides meet at a right angle.

Simplify (2a)(8ab) - (7a2)(3b).

62% Answer Correctly
-5a2b
37ab2
5ab2
37a2b

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.

(2a)(8ab) - (7a2)(3b)
(2 x 8)(a x a x b) - (7 x 3)(a2 x b)
(16)(a1+1 x b) - (21)(a2b)
16a2b - 21a2b
-5a2b
