What is 7a5 + 6a5?

75% Answer Correctly
42a10
13a5
13
a10

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.

7a5 + 6a5 = 13a5


2

If side a = 8, side b = 4, what is the length of the hypotenuse of this right triangle?

64% Answer Correctly
\( \sqrt{52} \)
\( \sqrt{80} \)
\( \sqrt{113} \)
\( \sqrt{37} \)

Solution

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

c2 = a2 + b2
c2 = 82 + 42
c2 = 64 + 16
c2 = 80
c = \( \sqrt{80} \)


3

If a = 9, b = 9, c = 4, and d = 4, what is the perimeter of this quadrilateral?

88% Answer Correctly
15
14
26
20

Solution

Perimeter is equal to the sum of the four sides:

p = a + b + c + d
p = 9 + 9 + 4 + 4
p = 26


4

If b = 9 and y = -6, what is the value of 3b(b - y)?

68% Answer Correctly
0
-160
360
405

Solution

To solve this equation, replace the variables with the values given and then solve the now variable-free equation. (Remember order of operations, PEMDAS, Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication/Division, Addition/Subtraction.)

3b(b - y)
3(9)(9 + 6)
3(9)(15)
(27)(15)
405


5

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

24% Answer Correctly

c = π r

c = π r2

c = π d

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.
