1

If a = c = 8, b = d = 6, what is the area of this rectangle?

79% Answer Correctly
4
63
48
8

Solution

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

a = l x w
a = a x b
a = 8 x 6
a = 48


2

Order the following types of angle from least number of degrees to most number of degrees.

74% Answer Correctly

acute, right, obtuse

right, acute, obtuse

acute, obtuse, right

right, obtuse, acute


Solution

An acute angle measures less than 90°, a right angle measures 90°, and an obtuse angle measures more than 90°.


3

Breaking apart a quadratic expression into a pair of binomials is called:

74% Answer Correctly

squaring

normalizing

factoring

deconstructing


Solution

To factor a quadratic expression, apply the FOIL (First, Outside, Inside, Last) method in reverse.


4

Simplify (4a)(8ab) + (6a2)(6b).

65% Answer Correctly
68a2b
4ab2
144a2b
-4ab2

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.

(4a)(8ab) + (6a2)(6b)
(4 x 8)(a x a x b) + (6 x 6)(a2 x b)
(32)(a1+1 x b) + (36)(a2b)
32a2b + 36a2b
68a2b

If angle a = 45° and angle b = 29° what is the length of angle d?

56% Answer Correctly
127°
132°
135°
141°

Solution

An exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the two interior angles that are opposite:

d° = b° + c°

To find angle c, remember that the sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°:

180° = a° + b° + c°
c° = 180° - a° - b°
c° = 180° - 45° - 29° = 106°

So, d° = 29° + 106° = 135°

A shortcut to get this answer is to remember that angles around a line add up to 180°:

a° + d° = 180°
d° = 180° - a°
d° = 180° - 45° = 135°
