1

If a = c = 5, b = d = 6, and the blue angle = 57°, what is the area of this parallelogram?

66% Answer Correctly
4
48
28
30

Solution

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

a = l x w
a = a x b
a = 5 x 6
a = 30


2

The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, -1) and (2, -7). What is the slope-intercept equation for this line?

41% Answer Correctly
y = -1\(\frac{1}{2}\)x - 4
y = 3x + 1
y = -x + 2
y = 2\(\frac{1}{2}\)x + 3

Solution

The slope-intercept equation for a line is y = mx + b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept of the line. From the graph, you can see that the y-intercept (the y-value from the point where the line crosses the y-axis) is -4. The slope of this line is the change in y divided by the change in x. The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, -1) and (2, -7) so the slope becomes:

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(-7.0) - (-1.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{-6}{4} \)
m = -1\(\frac{1}{2}\)

Plugging these values into the slope-intercept equation:

y = -1\(\frac{1}{2}\)x - 4


3

Simplify 5a x 7b.

86% Answer Correctly
35\( \frac{b}{a} \)
35\( \frac{a}{b} \)
35a2b2
35ab

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.

5a x 7b = (5 x 7) (a x b) = 35ab


4

If side a = 3, side b = 8, what is the length of the hypotenuse of this right triangle?

64% Answer Correctly
\( \sqrt{10} \)
\( \sqrt{37} \)
\( \sqrt{130} \)
\( \sqrt{73} \)

Solution

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

c2 = a2 + b2
c2 = 32 + 82
c2 = 9 + 64
c2 = 73
c = \( \sqrt{73} \)


5

If BD = 26 and AD = 29, AB = ?

76% Answer Correctly
14
3
19
10

Solution

The entire length of this line is represented by AD which is AB + BD:

AD = AB + BD

Solving for AB:

AB = AD - BD
AB = 29 - 26
AB = 3
