Simplify (y - 9)(y - 1)

63% Answer Correctly
y2 + 8y - 9
y2 - 8y - 9
y2 - 10y + 9
y2 + 10y + 9

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 - 9)(y - 1)
(y x y) + (y x -1) + (-9 x y) + (-9 x -1)
y2 - y - 9y + 9
y2 - 10y + 9


2

If side x = 14cm, side y = 5cm, and side z = 9cm what is the perimeter of this triangle?

84% Answer Correctly
28cm
26cm
36cm
27cm

Solution

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

p = x + y + z
p = 14cm + 5cm + 9cm = 28cm


3

What is the circumference of a circle with a diameter of 18?

71% Answer Correctly
18π
22π

Solution

The formula for circumference is circle diameter x π:

c = πd
c = 18π


4

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

45% Answer Correctly

bisects

intersects

trisects

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.


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

all interior angles are right angles

the area is length x width

the lengths of all sides are equal


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).
