1

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

58% Answer Correctly
66
24
28
60\(\frac{1}{2}\)

Solution

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

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


2

Solve for b:
b2 - 6b + 5 = 0

59% Answer Correctly
6 or -1
1 or 5
-6 or -9
9 or 4

Solution

The first step to solve a quadratic equation that's set to zero is to factor the quadratic equation:

b2 - 6b + 5 = 0
(b - 1)(b - 5) = 0

For this expression to be true, the left side of the expression must equal zero. Therefore, either (b - 1) or (b - 5) must equal zero:

If (b - 1) = 0, b must equal 1
If (b - 5) = 0, b must equal 5

So the solution is that b = 1 or 5


3

What is 7a - 9a?

80% Answer Correctly
-2a2
16
-2a
-2

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.

7a - 9a = -2a


4

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

24% Answer Correctly

c = π d

c = π d2

c = π r

c = π r2


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.


5

If BD = 19 and AD = 29, AB = ?

76% Answer Correctly
3
5
10
8

Solution

The entire length of this line is represented by AD which is AB + BD:

AD = AB + BD

Solving for AB:

AB = AD - BD
AB = 29 - 19
AB = 10
