1

A trapezoid is a quadrilateral with one set of __________ sides.

70% Answer Correctly

right angle

equal angle

parallel

equal length


Solution

A trapezoid is a quadrilateral with one set of parallel sides.


2

Solve for c:
c2 - c - 30 = 0

57% Answer Correctly
-5 or 6
9 or -7
3 or 1
5 or -5

Solution

The first step to solve a quadratic equation that's set to zero is to factor the quadratic equation:

c2 - c - 30 = 0
(c + 5)(c - 6) = 0

For this expression to be true, the left side of the expression must equal zero. Therefore, either (c + 5) or (c - 6) must equal zero:

If (c + 5) = 0, c must equal -5
If (c - 6) = 0, c must equal 6

So the solution is that c = -5 or 6


3

Which of the following statements about a triangle is not true?

57% Answer Correctly

sum of interior angles = 180°

exterior angle = sum of two adjacent interior angles

perimeter = sum of side lengths

area = ½bh


Solution

A triangle is a three-sided polygon. It has three interior angles that add up to 180° (a + b + c = 180°). An exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the two interior angles that are opposite (d = b + c). The perimeter of a triangle is equal to the sum of the lengths of its three sides, the height of a triangle is equal to the length from the base to the opposite vertex (angle) and the area equals one-half triangle base x height: a = ½ base x height.


4

Simplify (4a)(6ab) - (7a2)(2b).

59% Answer Correctly
10a2b
38ab2
90ab2
-10ab2

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.

(4a)(6ab) - (7a2)(2b)
(4 x 6)(a x a x b) - (7 x 2)(a2 x b)
(24)(a1+1 x b) - (14)(a2b)
24a2b - 14a2b
10a2b


5

What is 6a + 3a?

80% Answer Correctly
18a
9a
9a2
18a2

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.

6a + 3a = 9a
