1

Order the following types of angle from least number of degrees to most number of degrees.

74% Answer Correctly

acute, right, obtuse

right, acute, obtuse

right, obtuse, acute

acute, obtuse, right


Solution

An acute angle measures less than 90°, a right angle measures 90°, and an obtuse angle measures more than 90°.


2

What is 9a7 - 8a7?

73% Answer Correctly
17
1
17a14
1a7

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.

9a7 - 8a7 = 1a7


3

If the area of this square is 81, what is the length of one of the diagonals?

68% Answer Correctly
2\( \sqrt{2} \)
7\( \sqrt{2} \)
9\( \sqrt{2} \)
4\( \sqrt{2} \)

Solution

To find the diagonal we need to know the length of one of the square's sides. We know the area and the area of a square is the length of one side squared:

a = s2

so the length of one side of the square is:

s = \( \sqrt{a} \) = \( \sqrt{81} \) = 9

The Pythagorean theorem defines the square of the hypotenuse (diagonal) of a triangle with a right angle as the sum of the squares of the other two sides:

c2 = a2 + b2
c2 = 92 + 92
c2 = 162
c = \( \sqrt{162} \) = \( \sqrt{81 x 2} \) = \( \sqrt{81} \) \( \sqrt{2} \)
c = 9\( \sqrt{2} \)


4

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

76% Answer Correctly

a = π d

a = π d2

a = π r

a = π r2


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.


5

Simplify (2a)(2ab) - (6a2)(9b).

59% Answer Correctly
-50a2b
60ab2
58ab2
58a2b

Solution

To multiply monomials, multiply the coefficients (the numbers that come before the variables) of each term, add the exponents of like variables, and multiply the different variables together.

(2a)(2ab) - (6a2)(9b)
(2 x 2)(a x a x b) - (6 x 9)(a2 x b)
(4)(a1+1 x b) - (54)(a2b)
4a2b - 54a2b
-50a2b
