Simplify (4a)(6ab) + (7a2)(9b).

65% Answer Correctly
39ab2
-39a2b
160ab2
87a2b

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)(6ab) + (7a2)(9b)
(4 x 6)(a x a x b) + (7 x 9)(a2 x b)
(24)(a1+1 x b) + (63)(a2b)
24a2b + 63a2b
87a2b


2

If a = 5, b = 5, c = 6, and d = 2, what is the perimeter of this quadrilateral?

88% Answer Correctly
22
19
16
18

Solution

Perimeter is equal to the sum of the four sides:

p = a + b + c + d
p = 5 + 5 + 6 + 2
p = 18


3

If the base of this triangle is 1 and the height is 9, what is the area?

59% Answer Correctly
4\(\frac{1}{2}\)
40
77
15

Solution

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

a = ½bh
a = ½ x 1 x 9 = \( \frac{9}{2} \) = 4\(\frac{1}{2}\)


4

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

46% Answer Correctly

trisects

bisects

intersects

midpoints


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.


5

If angle a = 31° and angle b = 20° what is the length of angle d?

56% Answer Correctly
139°
160°
153°
149°

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° - 31° - 20° = 129°

So, d° = 20° + 129° = 149°

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° - 31° = 149°
