1

If a = c = 9, b = d = 3, and the blue angle = 70°, what is the area of this parallelogram?

65% Answer Correctly
35
25
3
27

Solution

The area of a parallelogram is equal to its length x width:

a = l x w
a = a x b
a = 9 x 3
a = 27


2

Simplify (2a)(3ab) - (9a2)(5b).

62% Answer Correctly
51a2b
70a2b
-39a2b
39ab2

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)(3ab) - (9a2)(5b)
(2 x 3)(a x a x b) - (9 x 5)(a2 x b)
(6)(a1+1 x b) - (45)(a2b)
6a2b - 45a2b
-39a2b


3

If the base of this triangle is 2 and the height is 6, what is the area?

58% Answer Correctly
24\(\frac{1}{2}\)
71\(\frac{1}{2}\)
82\(\frac{1}{2}\)
6

Solution

The area of a triangle is equal to ½ base x height:

a = ½bh
a = ½ x 2 x 6 = \( \frac{12}{2} \) = 6


4

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

75% Answer Correctly

right, acute, obtuse

acute, obtuse, right

acute, right, obtuse

right, obtuse, acute


Solution

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


5

Solve for a:
-3a - 3 = \( \frac{a}{9} \)

46% Answer Correctly
-\(\frac{27}{28}\)
-1\(\frac{8}{41}\)
1\(\frac{11}{25}\)
\(\frac{9}{53}\)

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 equal sign and the answer on the other.

-3a - 3 = \( \frac{a}{9} \)
9 x (-3a - 3) = a
(9 x -3a) + (9 x -3) = a
-27a - 27 = a
-27a - 27 - a = 0
-27a - a = 27
-28a = 27
a = \( \frac{27}{-28} \)
a = -\(\frac{27}{28}\)
