1

To multiply binomials, use the FOIL method. Which of the following is not a part of the FOIL method?

83% Answer Correctly

Last

Odd

First

Inside


Solution

To multiply binomials, use the FOIL method. FOIL stands for First, Outside, Inside, Last and refers to the position of each term in the parentheses.


2

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

57% Answer Correctly

exterior angle = sum of two adjacent interior angles

perimeter = sum of side lengths

sum of interior angles = 180°

area = ½bh


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

If side x = 12cm, side y = 8cm, and side z = 9cm what is the perimeter of this triangle?

84% Answer Correctly
29cm
20cm
23cm
34cm

Solution

The perimeter of a triangle is the sum of the lengths of its sides:

p = x + y + z
p = 12cm + 8cm + 9cm = 29cm


4

Simplify (y - 8)(y + 8)

63% Answer Correctly
y2 - 16y + 64
y2 - 64
y2 + 16y + 64
93

Solution

To multiply binomials, use the FOIL method. FOIL stands for First, Outside, Inside, Last and refers to the position of each term in the parentheses:

(y - 8)(y + 8)
(y x y) + (y x 8) + (-8 x y) + (-8 x 8)
y2 + 8y - 8y - 64
y2 - 64


5

What is the area of a circle with a diameter of 4?

69% Answer Correctly
16π

Solution

The formula for area is πr2. Radius is circle \( \frac{diameter}{2} \):

r = \( \frac{d}{2} \)
r = \( \frac{4}{2} \)
r = 2
a = πr2
a = π(22)
a = 4π
