Simplify 3a x 2b.

86% Answer Correctly
6ab
6\( \frac{a}{b} \)
6\( \frac{b}{a} \)
6a2b2

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.

3a x 2b = (3 x 2) (a x b) = 6ab


2

If the area of this square is 49, what is the length of one of the diagonals?

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

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 = \( \sqrt{a} \) = \( \sqrt{49} \) = 7

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 = 72 + 72
c2 = 98
c = \( \sqrt{98} \) = \( \sqrt{49 x 2} \) = \( \sqrt{49} \) \( \sqrt{2} \)
c = 7\( \sqrt{2} \)


3

If angle a = 62° and angle b = 41° what is the length of angle c?

71% Answer Correctly
128°
79°
105°
77°

Solution

The sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°:
180° = a° + b° + c°
c° = 180° - a° - b°
c° = 180° - 62° - 41° = 77°


4

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

77% Answer Correctly

a = π r2

a = π d

a = π r

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.


5

The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 7 and radius (r) = 8. What is the volume?

62% Answer Correctly
49π
24π
448π
384π

Solution

The volume of a cylinder is πr2h:

v = πr2h
v = π(82 x 7)
v = 448π
