What is 4a - 3a?

80% Answer Correctly
12a
12a2
1a
7

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.

4a - 3a = 1a


2

The dimensions of this trapezoid are a = 5, b = 5, c = 7, d = 5, and h = 4. What is the area?

51% Answer Correctly
20
22\(\frac{1}{2}\)
18
13\(\frac{1}{2}\)

Solution

The area of a trapezoid is one-half the sum of the lengths of the parallel sides multiplied by the height:

a = ½(b + d)(h)
a = ½(5 + 5)(4)
a = ½(10)(4)
a = ½(40) = \( \frac{40}{2} \)
a = 20


3

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

acute, obtuse

vertical, supplementary

obtuse, acute

supplementary, vertical


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).


4

Solve for y:
-7y + 8 > 3 - y

55% Answer Correctly
y > \(\frac{5}{6}\)
y > 2
y > -1
y > -4

Solution

To solve this equation, repeatedly do the same thing to both sides of the equation until the variable is isolated on one side of the > sign and the answer on the other.

-7y + 8 > 3 - y
-7y > 3 - y - 8
-7y + y > 3 - 8
-6y > -5
y > \( \frac{-5}{-6} \)
y > \(\frac{5}{6}\)


5

On this circle, line segment CD is the:

46% Answer Correctly

circumference

diameter

chord

radius


Solution

A circle is a figure in which each point around its perimeter is an equal distance from the center. The radius of a circle is the distance between the center and any point along its perimeter. A chord is a line segment that connects any two points along its perimeter. The diameter of a circle is the length of a chord that passes through the center of the circle and equals twice the circle's radius (2r).
