1

If side x = 12cm, side y = 7cm, and side z = 10cm what is the perimeter of this triangle?

85% Answer Correctly
35cm
32cm
29cm
36cm

Solution

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

p = x + y + z
p = 12cm + 7cm + 10cm = 29cm


2

What is the area of a circle with a radius of 2?

70% Answer Correctly
36π
81π

Solution

The formula for area is πr2:

a = πr2
a = π(22)
a = 4π


3

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

91% 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.)


4

Find the value of c:
7c + y = -3
6c + y = -8

42% Answer Correctly
-\(\frac{5}{28}\)
-\(\frac{9}{29}\)
1\(\frac{15}{47}\)
5

Solution

You need to find the value of c so solve the first equation in terms of y:

7c + y = -3
y = -3 - 7c

then substitute the result (-3 - 7c) into the second equation:

6c + 1(-3 - 7c) = -8
6c + (1 x -3) + (1 x -7c) = -8
6c - 3 - 7c = -8
6c - 7c = -8 + 3
-c = -5
c = \( \frac{-5}{-1} \)
c = 5

If angle a = 28° and angle b = 55° what is the length of angle d?

56% Answer Correctly
152°
140°
137°
158°

Solution

An exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the two interior angles that are opposite:

d° = b° + c°

To find angle c, remember that the sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°:

180° = a° + b° + c°
c° = 180° - a° - b°
c° = 180° - 28° - 55° = 97°

So, d° = 55° + 97° = 152°

A shortcut to get this answer is to remember that angles around a line add up to 180°:

a° + d° = 180°
d° = 180° - a°
d° = 180° - 28° = 152°
