1

If side x = 5cm, side y = 10cm, and side z = 6cm what is the perimeter of this triangle?

85% Answer Correctly
31cm
30cm
25cm
21cm

Solution

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

p = x + y + z
p = 5cm + 10cm + 6cm = 21cm


2

A coordinate grid is composed of which of the following?

92% Answer Correctly

all of these

origin

x-axis

y-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.


3

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

78% Answer Correctly

a = π d

a = π d2

a = π r2

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.


4

What is 2a - 4a?

80% Answer Correctly
-2a
8a2
a2
8a

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.

2a - 4a = -2a


5

The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, 8) and (2, 0). What is the slope of this line?

46% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{1}{2}\)
-2
-3
-2\(\frac{1}{2}\)

Solution

The slope of this line is the change in y divided by the change in x. The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, 8) and (2, 0) so the slope becomes:

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(0.0) - (8.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{-8}{4} \)
m = -2
