1

If the base of this triangle is 2 and the height is 8, what is the area?

58% Answer Correctly
84
20
70
8

Solution

The area of a triangle is equal to ½ base x height:

a = ½bh
a = ½ x 2 x 8 = \( \frac{16}{2} \) = 8


2

Which of the following is not a part of PEMDAS, the acronym for math order of operations?

87% Answer Correctly

exponents

addition

pairs

division


Solution

When solving an equation with two variables, replace the variables with the values given and then solve the now variable-free equation. (Remember order of operations, PEMDAS, Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication/Division, Addition/Subtraction.)


3

A coordinate grid is composed of which of the following?

88% Answer Correctly

x-axis

all of these

y-axis

origin


Solution

The coordinate grid is composed of a horizontal x-axis and a vertical y-axis. The center of the grid, where the x-axis and y-axis meet, is called the origin.


4

What is 2a3 + 5a3?

74% Answer Correctly
10a6
7a6
7a3
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.

2a3 + 5a3 = 7a3


5

If side x = 8cm, side y = 6cm, and side z = 10cm what is the perimeter of this triangle?

84% Answer Correctly
22cm
24cm
34cm
23cm

Solution

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

p = x + y + z
p = 8cm + 6cm + 10cm = 24cm
