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

54% Answer Correctly

equilateral, isosceles and right

equilateral and right

equilateral and isosceles

isosceles and right


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.

Simplify 7a x 2b.

85% Answer Correctly
14ab
14\( \frac{b}{a} \)
14\( \frac{a}{b} \)
9ab

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.

7a x 2b = (7 x 2) (a x b) = 14ab


3

If a = c = 7, b = d = 8, and the blue angle = 66°, what is the area of this parallelogram?

65% Answer Correctly
6
56

42

Solution

The area of a parallelogram is equal to its length x width:

a = l x w
a = a x b
a = 7 x 8
a = 56

The dimensions of this cube are height (h) = 9, length (l) = 3, and width (w) = 2. What is the surface area?

51% Answer Correctly
222
102
142
314

Solution

The surface area of a cube is (2 x length x width) + (2 x width x height) + (2 x length x height):

sa = 2lw + 2wh + 2lh
sa = (2 x 3 x 2) + (2 x 2 x 9) + (2 x 3 x 9)
sa = (12) + (36) + (54)
sa = 102


5

If b = -8 and y = 2, what is the value of 8b(b - y)?

68% Answer Correctly

-224

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.)

8b(b - y)
8(-8)(-8 - 2)
8(-8)(-10)
(-64)(-10)
