1

If a = c = 7, b = d = 8, and the blue angle = 74°, what is the area of this parallelogram?

65% Answer Correctly
56
36
63
6

Solution

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

a = l x w
a = a x b
a = 7 x 8
a = 56


2

If side a = 7, side b = 9, what is the length of the hypotenuse of this right triangle?

63% Answer Correctly
\( \sqrt{8} \)
\( \sqrt{130} \)
\( \sqrt{106} \)
\( \sqrt{37} \)

Solution

According to the Pythagorean theorem, the hypotenuse squared is equal to the sum of the two perpendicular sides squared:

c2 = a2 + b2
c2 = 72 + 92
c2 = 49 + 81
c2 = 130
c = \( \sqrt{130} \)


3

Solve 9a + 3a = 7a - 9y + 5 for a in terms of y.

34% Answer Correctly
-6y + 2\(\frac{1}{2}\)
-y + 3
-10y + 4
-2\(\frac{2}{3}\)y + \(\frac{1}{2}\)

Solution

To solve this equation, isolate the variable for which you are solving (a) on one side of the equation and put everything else on the other side.

9a + 3y = 7a - 9y + 5
9a = 7a - 9y + 5 - 3y
9a - 7a = -9y + 5 - 3y
2a = -12y + 5
a = \( \frac{-12y + 5}{2} \)
a = \( \frac{-12y}{2} \) + \( \frac{5}{2} \)
a = -6y + 2\(\frac{1}{2}\)


4

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

45% Answer Correctly

bisects

midpoints

trisects

intersects


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

Simplify (9a)(3ab) + (8a2)(6b).

65% Answer Correctly
168a2b
168ab2
75a2b
21a2b

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.

(9a)(3ab) + (8a2)(6b)
(9 x 3)(a x a x b) + (8 x 6)(a2 x b)
(27)(a1+1 x b) + (48)(a2b)
27a2b + 48a2b
75a2b
