Which of the following is not a part of PEMDAS, the acronym for math order of operations?

92% Answer Correctly

division

pairs

addition

exponents


Solution

When solving an equation with two variables, replace the variables with the values given and then solve the now variable-free equation. (Remember order of operations, PEMDAS, Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication/Division, Addition/Subtraction.)


2

If angle a = 49° and angle b = 31° what is the length of angle c?

71% Answer Correctly
94°
87°
100°
90°

Solution

The sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°:
180° = a° + b° + c°
c° = 180° - a° - b°
c° = 180° - 49° - 31° = 100°


3

Factor y2 - 7y + 10

54% Answer Correctly
(y + 5)(y - 2)
(y - 5)(y + 2)
(y + 5)(y + 2)
(y - 5)(y - 2)

Solution

To factor a quadratic expression, apply the FOIL method (First, Outside, Inside, Last) in reverse. First, find the two Last terms that will multiply to produce 10 as well and sum (Inside, Outside) to equal -7. For this problem, those two numbers are -5 and -2. Then, plug these into a set of binomials using the square root of the First variable (y2):

y2 - 7y + 10
y2 + (-5 - 2)y + (-5 x -2)
(y - 5)(y - 2)


4

If BD = 18 and AD = 23, AB = ?

76% Answer Correctly
10
16
5
11

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 = 23 - 18
AB = 5


5

Which of the following statements about a parallelogram is not true?

50% Answer Correctly

opposite sides and adjacent angles are equal

a parallelogram is a quadrilateral

the perimeter of a parallelogram is the sum of the lengths of all sides

the area of a parallelogram is base x height


Solution

A parallelogram is a quadrilateral with two sets of parallel sides. Opposite sides (a = c, b = d) and angles (red = red, blue = blue) are equal. The area of a parallelogram is base x height and the perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all sides (a + b + c + d).
