1

If the base of this triangle is 9 and the height is 1, what is the area?

58% Answer Correctly
70
75
4\(\frac{1}{2}\)
63

Solution

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

a = ½bh
a = ½ x 9 x 1 = \( \frac{9}{2} \) = 4\(\frac{1}{2}\)


2

The formula for the area of a circle is which of the following?

24% Answer Correctly

c = π d

c = π r2

c = π r

c = π d2


Solution

The circumference of a circle is the distance around its perimeter and equals π (approx. 3.14159) x diameter: c = π d. The area of a circle is π x (radius)2 : a = π r2.


3

Simplify (y + 2)(y - 8)

63% Answer Correctly
y2 - 10y + 16
y2 - 6y - 16
y2 + 6y - 16
y2 + 10y + 16

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 + 2)(y - 8)
(y x y) + (y x -8) + (2 x y) + (2 x -8)
y2 - 8y + 2y - 16
y2 - 6y - 16


4

If side a = 7, side b = 2, what is the length of the hypotenuse of this right triangle?

64% Answer Correctly
5
\( \sqrt{5} \)
\( \sqrt{53} \)
\( \sqrt{85} \)

Solution

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

c2 = a2 + b2
c2 = 72 + 22
c2 = 49 + 4
c2 = 53
c = \( \sqrt{53} \)


5

What is 5a8 - 8a8?

73% Answer Correctly
-3a8
13a16
a816
-3a16

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.

5a8 - 8a8 = -3a8
