1

A right angle measures:

90% Answer Correctly

90°

180°

360°

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.


2

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

88% Answer Correctly

pairs

division

addition

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.)


3

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

79% Answer Correctly
42
16
72
8

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

Which of the following expressions contains exactly two terms?

82% Answer Correctly

quadratic

binomial

polynomial

monomial


Solution

A monomial contains one term, a binomial contains two terms, and a polynomial contains more than two terms.


5

Which of the following statements about a triangle is not true?

57% Answer Correctly

area = ½bh

exterior angle = sum of two adjacent interior angles

perimeter = sum of side lengths

sum of interior angles = 180°


Solution

A triangle is a three-sided polygon. It has three interior angles that add up to 180° (a + b + c = 180°). An exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the two interior angles that are opposite (d = b + c). The perimeter of a triangle is equal to the sum of the lengths of its three sides, the height of a triangle is equal to the length from the base to the opposite vertex (angle) and the area equals one-half triangle base x height: a = ½ base x height.
