1

If the base of this triangle is 6 and the height is 8, what is the area?

58% Answer Correctly
12\(\frac{1}{2}\)
105
54
24

Solution

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

a = ½bh
a = ½ x 6 x 8 = \( \frac{48}{2} \) = 24


2

Simplify (5a)(4ab) + (2a2)(7b).

65% Answer Correctly
34a2b
6ab2
-6a2b
34ab2

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)(4ab) + (2a2)(7b)
(5 x 4)(a x a x b) + (2 x 7)(a2 x b)
(20)(a1+1 x b) + (14)(a2b)
20a2b + 14a2b
34a2b


3

Order the following types of angle from least number of degrees to most number of degrees.

75% Answer Correctly

acute, obtuse, right

acute, right, obtuse

right, obtuse, acute

right, acute, obtuse


Solution

An acute angle measures less than 90°, a right angle measures 90°, and an obtuse angle measures more than 90°.


4

Solve for c:
7c + 8 = \( \frac{c}{4} \)

46% Answer Correctly
5\(\frac{1}{7}\)
-\(\frac{8}{47}\)
-1\(\frac{1}{11}\)
-1\(\frac{5}{27}\)

Solution

To solve this equation, repeatedly do the same thing to both sides of the equation until the variable is isolated on one side of the equal sign and the answer on the other.

7c + 8 = \( \frac{c}{4} \)
4 x (7c + 8) = c
(4 x 7c) + (4 x 8) = c
28c + 32 = c
28c + 32 - c = 0
28c - c = -32
27c = -32
c = \( \frac{-32}{27} \)
c = -1\(\frac{5}{27}\)


5

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

78% Answer Correctly

a = π d

a = π r2

a = π d2

a = π r


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.
