What is 2a2 + 3a2?

74% Answer Correctly
-a4
6a4
5a2
6a2

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.

2a2 + 3a2 = 5a2


2

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

57% Answer Correctly

area = ½bh

sum of interior angles = 180°

exterior angle = sum of two adjacent interior angles

perimeter = sum of side lengths


Solution

A triangle is a three-sided polygon. It has three interior angles that add up to 180° (a + b + c = 180°). An exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the two interior angles that are opposite (d = b + c). The perimeter of a triangle is equal to the sum of the lengths of its three sides, the height of a triangle is equal to the length from the base to the opposite vertex (angle) and the area equals one-half triangle base x height: a = ½ base x height.


3

Order the following types of angle from least number of degrees to most number of degrees.

74% Answer Correctly

acute, obtuse, right

right, obtuse, acute

right, acute, obtuse

acute, right, obtuse


Solution

An acute angle measures less than 90°, a right angle measures 90°, and an obtuse angle measures more than 90°.


4

Solve for x:
6x - 9 > \( \frac{x}{9} \)

44% Answer Correctly
x > \(\frac{7}{15}\)
x > -2\(\frac{6}{13}\)
x > -\(\frac{6}{11}\)
x > 1\(\frac{28}{53}\)

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.

6x - 9 > \( \frac{x}{9} \)
9 x (6x - 9) > x
(9 x 6x) + (9 x -9) > x
54x - 81 > x
54x - 81 - x > 0
54x - x > 81
53x > 81
x > \( \frac{81}{53} \)
x > 1\(\frac{28}{53}\)

90% Answer Correctly

4

3

5

2


Solution

A quadrilateral is a shape with four sides. The perimeter of a quadrilateral is the sum of the lengths of its four sides.
