1

If a = c = 3, b = d = 4, and the blue angle = 76°, what is the area of this parallelogram?

65% Answer Correctly
12
21
30
16

Solution

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

a = l x w
a = a x b
a = 3 x 4
a = 12


2

Solve for x:
x2 - 6x - 7 = 0

58% Answer Correctly
8 or 2
-5 or -7
8 or -5
-1 or 7

Solution

The first step to solve a quadratic equation that's set to zero is to factor the quadratic equation:

x2 - 6x - 7 = 0
(x + 1)(x - 7) = 0

For this expression to be true, the left side of the expression must equal zero. Therefore, either (x + 1) or (x - 7) must equal zero:

If (x + 1) = 0, x must equal -1
If (x - 7) = 0, x must equal 7

So the solution is that x = -1 or 7


3

What is 5a - 5a?

80% Answer Correctly
10a2
0a
25a
2

Solution

To combine like terms, add or subtract the coefficients (the numbers that come before the variables) of terms that have the same variable raised to the same exponent.

5a - 5a = 0a


4

If a = 7, b = 2, c = 2, and d = 5, what is the perimeter of this quadrilateral?

88% Answer Correctly
20
13

19

Solution

Perimeter is equal to the sum of the four sides:

p = a + b + c + d
p = 7 + 2 + 2 + 5
p = 16


5

Which of the following statements about a triangle is not true?

57% Answer Correctly

sum of interior angles = 180°

perimeter = sum of side lengths

area = ½bh

exterior angle = sum of two adjacent interior angles


Solution

A triangle is a three-sided polygon. It has three interior angles that add up to 180° (a + b + c = 180°). An exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the two interior angles that are opposite (d = b + c). The perimeter of a triangle is equal to the sum of the lengths of its three sides, the height of a triangle is equal to the length from the base to the opposite vertex (angle) and the area equals one-half triangle base x height: a = ½ base x height.
