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

54% Answer Correctly

isosceles and right

equilateral and right

equilateral, isosceles and right

equilateral and isosceles


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.


2

Simplify (y + 9)(y + 9)

64% Answer Correctly
y2 - 18y + 81
y2 + 18y + 81
y2 - 81
30

Solution

To multiply binomials, use the FOIL method. FOIL stands for First, Outside, Inside, Last and refers to the position of each term in the parentheses:

(y + 9)(y + 9)
(y x y) + (y x 9) + (9 x y) + (9 x 9)
y2 + 9y + 9y + 81
y2 + 18y + 81


3

On this circle, line segment CD is the:

46% Answer Correctly

diameter

radius

circumference

chord


Solution

A circle is a figure in which each point around its perimeter is an equal distance from the center. The radius of a circle is the distance between the center and any point along its perimeter. A chord is a line segment that connects any two points along its perimeter. The diameter of a circle is the length of a chord that passes through the center of the circle and equals twice the circle's radius (2r).


4

The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 3 and radius (r) = 6. What is the volume?

63% Answer Correctly
49π
108π
576π
81π

Solution

The volume of a cylinder is πr2h:

v = πr2h
v = π(62 x 3)
v = 108π


5

Which of the following statements about math operations is incorrect?

71% Answer Correctly

you can add monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent

you can subtract monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent

all of these statements are correct

you can multiply monomials that have different variables and different exponents


Solution

You can only add or subtract monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent. For example, 2a + 4a = 6a and 4a2 - a2 = 3a2 but 2a + 4b and 7a - 3b cannot be combined. However, you can multiply and divide monomials with unlike terms. For example, 2a x 6b = 12ab.
