1

If side x = 13cm, side y = 6cm, and side z = 12cm what is the perimeter of this triangle?

84% Answer Correctly
37cm
31cm
29cm
32cm

Solution

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

p = x + y + z
p = 13cm + 6cm + 12cm = 31cm


2

To multiply binomials, use the FOIL method. Which of the following is not a part of the FOIL method?

82% Answer Correctly

First

Odd

Inside

Last


Solution

To multiply binomials, use the FOIL method. FOIL stands for First, Outside, Inside, Last and refers to the position of each term in the parentheses.


3

Which types of triangles will always have at least two sides of equal length?

53% Answer Correctly

equilateral and isosceles

isosceles and right

equilateral, isosceles and right

equilateral and right


Solution

An isosceles triangle has two sides of equal length. An equilateral triangle has three sides of equal length. In a right triangle, two sides meet at a right angle.


4

The dimensions of this cube are height (h) = 4, length (l) = 9, and width (w) = 3. What is the surface area?

51% Answer Correctly
150
170
270
104

Solution

The surface area of a cube is (2 x length x width) + (2 x width x height) + (2 x length x height):

sa = 2lw + 2wh + 2lh
sa = (2 x 9 x 3) + (2 x 3 x 4) + (2 x 9 x 4)
sa = (54) + (24) + (72)
sa = 150


5

Solve for y:
3y + 6 > \( \frac{y}{7} \)

44% Answer Correctly
y > -5
y > -2\(\frac{1}{10}\)
y > \(\frac{36}{41}\)
y > \(\frac{2}{15}\)

Solution

To solve this equation, repeatedly do the same thing to both sides of the equation until the variable is isolated on one side of the > sign and the answer on the other.

3y + 6 > \( \frac{y}{7} \)
7 x (3y + 6) > y
(7 x 3y) + (7 x 6) > y
21y + 42 > y
21y + 42 - y > 0
21y - y > -42
20y > -42
y > \( \frac{-42}{20} \)
y > -2\(\frac{1}{10}\)
