1

For this diagram, the Pythagorean theorem states that b2 = ?

47% Answer Correctly

c2 - a2

c2 + a2

c - a

a2 - c2


Solution

The Pythagorean theorem defines the relationship between the side lengths of a right triangle. The length of the hypotenuse squared (c2) is equal to the sum of the two perpendicular sides squared (a2 + b2): c2 = a2 + b2 or, solved for c, \(c = \sqrt{a + b}\)


2

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

88% Answer Correctly

exponents

pairs

addition

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

If a = c = 8, b = d = 9, what is the area of this rectangle?

79% Answer Correctly
45
48
21
72

Solution

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

a = l x w
a = a x b
a = 8 x 9
a = 72


4

Simplify (6a)(4ab) - (3a2)(9b).

62% Answer Correctly
3ab2
51ab2
-3a2b
120a2b

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.

(6a)(4ab) - (3a2)(9b)
(6 x 4)(a x a x b) - (3 x 9)(a2 x b)
(24)(a1+1 x b) - (27)(a2b)
24a2b - 27a2b
-3a2b


5

If side x = 7cm, side y = 13cm, and side z = 7cm what is the perimeter of this triangle?

84% Answer Correctly
30cm
28cm
37cm
27cm

Solution

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

p = x + y + z
p = 7cm + 13cm + 7cm = 27cm
