1

If the base of this triangle is 3 and the height is 9, what is the area?

58% Answer Correctly
13\(\frac{1}{2}\)
55
17\(\frac{1}{2}\)
24
Solution

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

a = ½bh
a = ½ x 3 x 9 = \( \frac{27}{2} \) = 13\(\frac{1}{2}\)

2

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

88% Answer Correctly

pairs

addition

exponents

division
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.)

3

If the length of AB equals the length of BD, point B __________ this line segment.

45% Answer Correctly

trisects

intersects

bisects

midpoints
Solution

A line segment is a portion of a line with a measurable length. The midpoint of a line segment is the point exactly halfway between the endpoints. The midpoint bisects (cuts in half) the line segment.

4

Simplify 3a x 5b.

86% Answer Correctly
15ab
15\( \frac{b}{a} \)
15a2b2
15\( \frac{a}{b} \)
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.

3a x 5b = (3 x 5) (a x b) = 15ab

5

Which of the following is not true about both rectangles and squares?

63% Answer Correctly

the perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all four sides

the lengths of all sides are equal

the area is length x width

all interior angles are right angles
Solution

A rectangle is a parallelogram containing four right angles. Opposite sides (a = c, b = d) are equal and the perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all sides (a + b + c + d) or, comonly, 2 x length x width. The area of a rectangle is length x width. A square is a rectangle with four equal length sides. The perimeter of a square is 4 x length of one side (4s) and the area is the length of one side squared (s2).
