Simplify (5a)(9ab) + (9a2)(7b).

65% Answer Correctly
-18ab2
18a2b
108a2b
224ab2

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.

(5a)(9ab) + (9a2)(7b)
(5 x 9)(a x a x b) + (9 x 7)(a2 x b)
(45)(a1+1 x b) + (63)(a2b)
45a2b + 63a2b
108a2b


2

If side x = 13cm, side y = 12cm, and side z = 13cm what is the perimeter of this triangle?

85% Answer Correctly
28cm
27cm
31cm
38cm

Solution

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

p = x + y + z
p = 13cm + 12cm + 13cm = 38cm


3

If a = c = 8, b = d = 7, what is the area of this rectangle?

80% Answer Correctly
3
56
9
45

Solution

The area of a rectangle is equal to its length x width:

a = l x w
a = a x b
a = 8 x 7
a = 56


4

For this diagram, the Pythagorean theorem states that b2 = ?

47% Answer Correctly

c2 + a2

c2 - a2

a2 - c2

c - a


Solution

The Pythagorean theorem defines the relationship between the side lengths of a right triangle. The length of the hypotenuse squared (c2) is equal to the sum of the two perpendicular sides squared (a2 + b2): c2 = a2 + b2 or, solved for c, \(c = \sqrt{a + b}\)


5

Which of the following statements about math operations is incorrect?

71% Answer Correctly

you can subtract monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent

you can add monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent

you can multiply monomials that have different variables and different exponents

all of these statements are correct


Solution

You can only add or subtract monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent. For example, 2a + 4a = 6a and 4a2 - a2 = 3a2 but 2a + 4b and 7a - 3b cannot be combined. However, you can multiply and divide monomials with unlike terms. For example, 2a x 6b = 12ab.
