1

Simplify (3a)(9ab) - (6a2)(3b).

63% Answer Correctly
9a2b
45ab2
108a2b
-9ab2

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)(9ab) - (6a2)(3b)
(3 x 9)(a x a x b) - (6 x 3)(a2 x b)
(27)(a1+1 x b) - (18)(a2b)
27a2b - 18a2b
9a2b


2

If side a = 3, side b = 7, what is the length of the hypotenuse of this right triangle?

64% Answer Correctly
\( \sqrt{20} \)
\( \sqrt{41} \)
\( \sqrt{89} \)
\( \sqrt{58} \)

Solution

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

c2 = a2 + b2
c2 = 32 + 72
c2 = 9 + 49
c2 = 58
c = \( \sqrt{58} \)


3

If angle a = 53° and angle b = 64° what is the length of angle d?

56% Answer Correctly
132°
127°
114°
119°

Solution

An exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the two interior angles that are opposite:

d° = b° + c°

To find angle c, remember that the sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°:

180° = a° + b° + c°
c° = 180° - a° - b°
c° = 180° - 53° - 64° = 63°

So, d° = 64° + 63° = 127°

A shortcut to get this answer is to remember that angles around a line add up to 180°:

a° + d° = 180°
d° = 180° - a°
d° = 180° - 53° = 127°


4

Simplify (9a)(3ab) + (7a2)(6b).

66% Answer Correctly
156ab2
-15a2b
69a2b
15a2b

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.

(9a)(3ab) + (7a2)(6b)
(9 x 3)(a x a x b) + (7 x 6)(a2 x b)
(27)(a1+1 x b) + (42)(a2b)
27a2b + 42a2b
69a2b


5

Which types of triangles will always have at least two sides of equal length?

55% Answer Correctly

equilateral and isosceles

equilateral and right

isosceles and right

equilateral, isosceles and right


Solution

An isosceles triangle has two sides of equal length. An equilateral triangle has three sides of equal length. In a right triangle, two sides meet at a right angle.
