1

If side x = 14cm, side y = 6cm, and side z = 6cm what is the perimeter of this triangle?

84% Answer Correctly
26cm
29cm
32cm
30cm

Solution

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

p = x + y + z
p = 14cm + 6cm + 6cm = 26cm


2

Solve for a:
a2 - a - 12 = 0

58% Answer Correctly
-1 or -6
8 or -7
8 or -8
-3 or 4

Solution

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

a2 - a - 12 = 0
(a + 3)(a - 4) = 0

For this expression to be true, the left side of the expression must equal zero. Therefore, either (a + 3) or (a - 4) must equal zero:

If (a + 3) = 0, a must equal -3
If (a - 4) = 0, a must equal 4

So the solution is that a = -3 or 4


3

A right angle measures:

90% Answer Correctly

360°

90°

45°

180°


Solution

A right angle measures 90 degrees and is the intersection of two perpendicular lines. In diagrams, a right angle is indicated by a small box completing a square with the perpendicular lines.


4

What is the area of a circle with a radius of 4?

69% Answer Correctly
64π
16π
49π

Solution

The formula for area is πr2:

a = πr2
a = π(42)
a = 16π


5

If a = c = 2, b = d = 6, and the blue angle = 56°, what is the area of this parallelogram?

65% Answer Correctly
3
15
56
12

Solution

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

a = l x w
a = a x b
a = 2 x 6
a = 12
