1

If a = 5, b = 9, c = 4, and d = 1, what is the perimeter of this quadrilateral?

88% Answer Correctly
20
16
25
19

Solution

Perimeter is equal to the sum of the four sides:

p = a + b + c + d
p = 5 + 9 + 4 + 1
p = 19


2

When two lines intersect, adjacent angles are __________ (they add up to 180°) and angles across from either other are __________ (they're equal).

60% Answer Correctly

supplementary, vertical

vertical, supplementary

obtuse, acute

acute, obtuse


Solution

Angles around a line add up to 180°. Angles around a point add up to 360°. When two lines intersect, adjacent angles are supplementary (they add up to 180°) and angles across from either other are vertical (they're equal).


3

Solve for c:
c2 - c - 35 = -4c + 5

48% Answer Correctly
-3 or -8
7 or -2
5 or -8
8 or 2

Solution

The first step to solve a quadratic expression that's not set to zero is to solve the equation so that it is set to zero:

c2 - c - 35 = -4c + 5
c2 - c - 35 - 5 = -4c
c2 - c + 4c - 40 = 0
c2 + 3c - 40 = 0

Next, factor the quadratic equation:

c2 + 3c - 40 = 0
(c - 5)(c + 8) = 0

For this expression to be true, the left side of the expression must equal zero. Therefore, either (c - 5) or (c + 8) must equal zero:

If (c - 5) = 0, c must equal 5
If (c + 8) = 0, c must equal -8

So the solution is that c = 5 or -8


4

The dimensions of this cube are height (h) = 7, length (l) = 9, and width (w) = 5. What is the volume?

82% Answer Correctly
315
5
144
90

Solution

The volume of a cube is height x length x width:

v = h x l x w
v = 7 x 9 x 5
v = 315


5

What is 3a - 9a?

79% Answer Correctly
27a
-6a
-6
27a2

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.

3a - 9a = -6a
