Simplify (5a)(8ab) - (5a2)(5b).

62% Answer Correctly
15a2b
130ab2
130a2b
65a2b

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)(8ab) - (5a2)(5b)
(5 x 8)(a x a x b) - (5 x 5)(a2 x b)
(40)(a1+1 x b) - (25)(a2b)
40a2b - 25a2b
15a2b


2

If the length of AB equals the length of BD, point B __________ this line segment.

46% Answer Correctly

bisects

intersects

midpoints

trisects


Solution

A line segment is a portion of a line with a measurable length. The midpoint of a line segment is the point exactly halfway between the endpoints. The midpoint bisects (cuts in half) the line segment.


3

The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 5 and radius (r) = 5. What is the volume?

63% Answer Correctly
294π
125π
486π

Solution

The volume of a cylinder is πr2h:

v = πr2h
v = π(52 x 5)
v = 125π


4

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

58% Answer Correctly

exterior angle = sum of two adjacent interior angles

perimeter = sum of side lengths

area = ½bh

sum of interior angles = 180°


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.


5

If AD = 18 and BD = 16, AB = ?

76% Answer Correctly
8
20
12
2

Solution

The entire length of this line is represented by AD which is AB + BD:

AD = AB + BD

Solving for AB:

AB = AD - BD
AB = 18 - 16
AB = 2
