1

Solve for y:
3y - 1 < -7 - 3y

55% Answer Correctly
y < -\(\frac{5}{6}\)
y < -1
y < -\(\frac{8}{9}\)
y < -\(\frac{3}{5}\)

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 < sign and the answer on the other.

3y - 1 < -7 - 3y
3y < -7 - 3y + 1
3y + 3y < -7 + 1
6y < -6
y < \( \frac{-6}{6} \)
y < -1


2

If side a = 1, side b = 1, what is the length of the hypotenuse of this right triangle?

64% Answer Correctly
\( \sqrt{61} \)
\( \sqrt{32} \)
\( \sqrt{2} \)
\( \sqrt{50} \)

Solution

According to the Pythagorean theorem, the hypotenuse squared is equal to the sum of the two perpendicular sides squared:

c2 = a2 + b2
c2 = 12 + 12
c2 = 1 + 1
c2 = 2
c = \( \sqrt{2} \)


3

What is the circumference of a circle with a radius of 4?

71% Answer Correctly
11π
30π
32π

Solution

The formula for circumference is circle diameter x π. Circle diameter is 2 x radius:

c = πd
c = π(2 * r)
c = π(2 * 4)
c = 8π


4

If a = 7, b = 8, c = 5, and d = 5, what is the perimeter of this quadrilateral?

88% Answer Correctly
26
22
25
29

Solution

Perimeter is equal to the sum of the four sides:

p = a + b + c + d
p = 7 + 8 + 5 + 5
p = 25


5

The formula for the area of a circle is which of the following?

78% Answer Correctly

a = π r

a = π d

a = π r2

a = π d2


Solution

The circumference of a circle is the distance around its perimeter and equals π (approx. 3.14159) x diameter: c = π d. The area of a circle is π x (radius)2 : a = π r2.
