1

A quadrilateral is a shape with __________ sides.

91% Answer Correctly

5

3

4

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.


2

Simplify (4a)(4ab) - (4a2)(6b).

62% Answer Correctly
80a2b
8ab2
-8a2b
40ab2

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.

(4a)(4ab) - (4a2)(6b)
(4 x 4)(a x a x b) - (4 x 6)(a2 x b)
(16)(a1+1 x b) - (24)(a2b)
16a2b - 24a2b
-8a2b


3

A right angle measures:

91% Answer Correctly

180°

45°

360°

90°


Solution

A right angle measures 90 degrees and is the intersection of two perpendicular lines. In diagrams, a right angle is indicated by a small box completing a square with the perpendicular lines.

This diagram represents two parallel lines with a transversal. If w° = 14, what is the value of x°?

73% Answer Correctly
37
166
33
151

Solution

For parallel lines with a transversal, the following relationships apply:

  • angles in the same position on different parallel lines equal each other (a° = w°, b° = x°, c° = z°, d° = y°)
  • alternate interior angles are equal (a° = z°, b° = y°, c° = w°, d° = x°)
  • all acute angles (a° = c° = w° = z°) and all obtuse angles (b° = d° = x° = y°) equal each other
  • same-side interior angles are supplementary and add up to 180° (e.g. a° + d° = 180°, d° + c° = 180°)

Applying these relationships starting with w° = 14, the value of x° is 166.


5

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

91% Answer Correctly

division

exponents

pairs

addition


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.)
