1

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

55% Answer Correctly

isosceles and right

equilateral and right

equilateral, isosceles and right

equilateral and isosceles


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.


2

The dimensions of this cube are height (h) = 4, length (l) = 6, and width (w) = 3. What is the surface area?

51% Answer Correctly
38
146
88
108

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 6 x 3) + (2 x 3 x 4) + (2 x 6 x 4)
sa = (36) + (24) + (48)
sa = 108


3

Solve for z:
-8z - 9 > -3 + 8z

55% Answer Correctly
z > \(\frac{1}{4}\)
z > -\(\frac{3}{8}\)
z > -3
z > -1\(\frac{1}{2}\)

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.

-8z - 9 > -3 + 8z
-8z > -3 + 8z + 9
-8z - 8z > -3 + 9
-16z > 6
z > \( \frac{6}{-16} \)
z > -\(\frac{3}{8}\)


4

Which of the following expressions contains exactly two terms?

83% Answer Correctly

quadratic

binomial

monomial

polynomial


Solution

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


5

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

92% Answer Correctly

addition

pairs

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.)
