1

If a = 9, b = 6, c = 4, and d = 9, what is the perimeter of this quadrilateral?

88% Answer Correctly
21
13
28
20

Solution

Perimeter is equal to the sum of the four sides:

p = a + b + c + d
p = 9 + 6 + 4 + 9
p = 28


2

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

92% Answer Correctly

pairs

exponents

addition

division


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

What is 2a - 5a?

80% Answer Correctly
-3a2
10a2
a2
-3a

Solution

To combine like terms, add or subtract the coefficients (the numbers that come before the variables) of terms that have the same variable raised to the same exponent.

2a - 5a = -3a


4

If a = c = 5, b = d = 3, what is the area of this rectangle?

80% Answer Correctly
54
15
6
4

Solution

The area of a rectangle is equal to its length x width:

a = l x w
a = a x b
a = 5 x 3
a = 15


5

Which of the following statements about parallel lines with a transversal is not correct?

36% Answer Correctly

all acute angles equal each other

same-side interior angles are complementary and equal each other

all of the angles formed by a transversal are called interior angles

angles in the same position on different parallel lines are called corresponding angles


Solution

Parallel lines are lines that share the same slope (steepness) and therefore never intersect. A transversal occurs when a set of parallel lines are crossed by another line. All of the angles formed by a transversal are called interior angles and angles in the same position on different parallel lines equal each other (a° = w°, b° = x°, c° = z°, d° = y°) and are called corresponding angles. Alternate interior angles are equal (a° = z°, b° = y°, c° = w°, d° = x°) and all acute angles (a° = c° = w° = z°) and all obtuse angles (b° = d° = x° = y°) equal each other. Same-side interior angles are supplementary and add up to 180° (e.g. a° + d° = 180°, d° + c° = 180°).
