Which of the following statements about math operations is incorrect?

71% Answer Correctly

all of these statements are correct

you can subtract monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent

you can multiply monomials that have different variables and different exponents

you can add monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent


Solution

You can only add or subtract monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent. For example, 2a + 4a = 6a and 4a2 - a2 = 3a2 but 2a + 4b and 7a - 3b cannot be combined. However, you can multiply and divide monomials with unlike terms. For example, 2a x 6b = 12ab.


2

If the length of AB equals the length of BD, point B __________ this line segment.

46% Answer Correctly

intersects

trisects

midpoints

bisects


Solution

A line segment is a portion of a line with a measurable length. The midpoint of a line segment is the point exactly halfway between the endpoints. The midpoint bisects (cuts in half) the line segment.


3

When two lines intersect, adjacent angles are __________ (they add up to 180°) and angles across from either other are __________ (they're equal).

61% Answer Correctly

obtuse, acute

vertical, supplementary

supplementary, vertical

acute, obtuse


Solution

Angles around a line add up to 180°. Angles around a point add up to 360°. When two lines intersect, adjacent angles are supplementary (they add up to 180°) and angles across from either other are vertical (they're equal).


4

A quadrilateral is a shape with __________ sides.

91% Answer Correctly

4

3

5

2


Solution

A quadrilateral is a shape with four sides. The perimeter of a quadrilateral is the sum of the lengths of its four sides.


5

A right angle measures:

91% Answer Correctly

360°

180°

45°

90°


Solution

A right angle measures 90 degrees and is the intersection of two perpendicular lines. In diagrams, a right angle is indicated by a small box completing a square with the perpendicular lines.
