1

If side x = 5cm, side y = 14cm, and side z = 7cm what is the perimeter of this triangle?

84% Answer Correctly
26cm
28cm
24cm
22cm

Solution

The perimeter of a triangle is the sum of the lengths of its sides:

p = x + y + z
p = 5cm + 14cm + 7cm = 26cm


2

What is 5a - 7a?

79% Answer Correctly
-2a
35a
-2
12a2

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.

5a - 7a = -2a


3

A coordinate grid is composed of which of the following?

88% Answer Correctly

origin

y-axis

all of these

x-axis


Solution

The coordinate grid is composed of a horizontal x-axis and a vertical y-axis. The center of the grid, where the x-axis and y-axis meet, is called the origin.


4

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

57% Answer Correctly

exterior angle = sum of two adjacent interior angles

area = ½bh

sum of interior angles = 180°

perimeter = sum of side lengths


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 angle a = 57° and angle b = 31° what is the length of angle c?

70% Answer Correctly
125°
92°
103°
66°

Solution

The sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°:
180° = a° + b° + c°
c° = 180° - a° - b°
c° = 180° - 57° - 31° = 92°
