A monomial contains one term, a binomial contains two terms, and a polynomial contains more than two terms.

The area of a triangle is equal to ½ base x height:

a = ½bh
a = ½ x 3 x 8 = \( \frac{24}{2} \) = 12

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 d° = 168, the value of w° is 12.

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.

The entire length of this line is represented by AD which is AB + BD:

AD = AB + BD
