1

If side x = 10cm, side y = 15cm, and side z = 10cm what is the perimeter of this triangle?

84% Answer Correctly
34cm
35cm
23cm
29cm

Solution

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

p = x + y + z
p = 10cm + 15cm + 10cm = 35cm


2

If the base of this triangle is 2 and the height is 4, what is the area?

58% Answer Correctly
49\(\frac{1}{2}\)
33
45\(\frac{1}{2}\)
4

Solution

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

a = ½bh
a = ½ x 2 x 4 = \( \frac{8}{2} \) = 4


3

Solve for a:
3a + 8 = \( \frac{a}{-8} \)

46% Answer Correctly
-2\(\frac{14}{25}\)
\(\frac{12}{35}\)
-\(\frac{5}{6}\)
-\(\frac{4}{5}\)

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 equal sign and the answer on the other.

3a + 8 = \( \frac{a}{-8} \)
-8 x (3a + 8) = a
(-8 x 3a) + (-8 x 8) = a
-24a - 64 = a
-24a - 64 - a = 0
-24a - a = 64
-25a = 64
a = \( \frac{64}{-25} \)
a = -2\(\frac{14}{25}\)


4

A cylinder with a radius (r) and a height (h) has a surface area of:

52% Answer Correctly

2(π r2) + 2π rh

π r2h

π r2h2

4π r2


Solution

A cylinder is a solid figure with straight parallel sides and a circular or oval cross section with a radius (r) and a height (h). The volume of a cylinder is π r2h and the surface area is 2(π r2) + 2π rh.


5

If angle a = 24° and angle b = 61° what is the length of angle c?

70% Answer Correctly
45°
52°
95°
105°

Solution

The sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°:
180° = a° + b° + c°
c° = 180° - a° - b°
c° = 180° - 24° - 61° = 95°
