1

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

91% Answer Correctly

pairs

addition

division

exponents


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.)


2

If the base of this triangle is 5 and the height is 6, what is the area?

58% Answer Correctly
42
15
30
36

Solution

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

a = ½bh
a = ½ x 5 x 6 = \( \frac{30}{2} \) = 15


3

Solve -9b - 4b = 4b + 5y + 3 for b in terms of y.

35% Answer Correctly
-\(\frac{4}{5}\)y - \(\frac{2}{5}\)
-\(\frac{5}{9}\)y - \(\frac{1}{3}\)
-\(\frac{9}{13}\)y - \(\frac{3}{13}\)
\(\frac{1}{8}\)y - 1

Solution

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

-9b - 4y = 4b + 5y + 3
-9b = 4b + 5y + 3 + 4y
-9b - 4b = 5y + 3 + 4y
-13b = 9y + 3
b = \( \frac{9y + 3}{-13} \)
b = \( \frac{9y}{-13} \) + \( \frac{3}{-13} \)
b = -\(\frac{9}{13}\)y - \(\frac{3}{13}\)


4

A right angle measures:

91% Answer Correctly

360°

90°

180°

45°


Solution

A right angle measures 90 degrees and is the intersection of two perpendicular lines. In diagrams, a right angle is indicated by a small box completing a square with the perpendicular lines.


5

On this circle, a line segment connecting point A to point D is called:

46% Answer Correctly

circumference

chord

radius

diameter


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).
