If side x = 6cm, side y = 7cm, and side z = 14cm what is the perimeter of this triangle?

84% Answer Correctly
32cm
27cm
19cm
29cm

Solution

p = x + y + z
p = 6cm + 7cm + 14cm = 27cm


3

Simplify (y - 5)(y - 6)

62% Answer Correctly
y2 - 11y + 30
y2 + 11y + 30
y2 - y - 30
y2 + y - 30

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 - 5)(y - 6)
(y x y) + (y x -6) + (-5 x y) + (-5 x -6)
y2 - 6y - 5y + 30
y2 - 11y + 30


4

88% Answer Correctly

x-axis

y-axis

all of these

origin


Solution

The coordinate grid is composed of a horizontal x-axis and a vertical y-axis. The center of the grid, where the x-axis and y-axis meet, is called the origin.
