1

A right angle measures:

91% Answer Correctly

180°

45°

360°

90°


Solution

A right angle measures 90 degrees and is the intersection of two perpendicular lines. In diagrams, a right angle is indicated by a small box completing a square with the perpendicular lines.


2

Simplify (5a)(5ab) + (2a2)(6b).

65% Answer Correctly
13a2b
37a2b
37ab2
80ab2

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.

(5a)(5ab) + (2a2)(6b)
(5 x 5)(a x a x b) + (2 x 6)(a2 x b)
(25)(a1+1 x b) + (12)(a2b)
25a2b + 12a2b
37a2b


3

The dimensions of this cube are height (h) = 6, length (l) = 8, and width (w) = 4. What is the surface area?

51% Answer Correctly
80
62
52
208

Solution

The surface area of a cube is (2 x length x width) + (2 x width x height) + (2 x length x height):

sa = 2lw + 2wh + 2lh
sa = (2 x 8 x 4) + (2 x 4 x 6) + (2 x 8 x 6)
sa = (64) + (48) + (96)
sa = 208


4

The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, -4) and (2, 4). What is the slope of this line?

46% Answer Correctly
3
-\(\frac{1}{2}\)
-1
2

Solution

The slope of this line is the change in y divided by the change in x. The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, -4) and (2, 4) so the slope becomes:

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(4.0) - (-4.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{8}{4} \)
m = 2


5

If side a = 6, side b = 5, what is the length of the hypotenuse of this right triangle?

64% Answer Correctly
\( \sqrt{65} \)
\( \sqrt{32} \)
\( \sqrt{128} \)
\( \sqrt{61} \)

Solution

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

c2 = a2 + b2
c2 = 62 + 52
c2 = 36 + 25
c2 = 61
c = \( \sqrt{61} \)
