1

If the base of this triangle is 5 and the height is 5, what is the area?

59% Answer Correctly
12\(\frac{1}{2}\)
84
27\(\frac{1}{2}\)
49

Solution

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

a = ½bh
a = ½ x 5 x 5 = \( \frac{25}{2} \) = 12\(\frac{1}{2}\)


2

The formula for volume of a cube in terms of height (h), length (l), and width (w) is which of the following?

68% Answer Correctly

lw x wh + lh

h2 x l2 x w2

2lw x 2wh + 2lh

h x l x w


Solution

A cube is a rectangular solid box with a height (h), length (l), and width (w). The volume is h x l x w and the surface area is 2lw x 2wh + 2lh.


3

Solve for x:
-5x + 4 < \( \frac{x}{-9} \)

45% Answer Correctly
x < \(\frac{9}{11}\)
x < -2\(\frac{2}{3}\)
x < -1\(\frac{5}{13}\)
x < -4\(\frac{4}{11}\)

Solution

To solve this equation, repeatedly do the same thing to both sides of the equation until the variable is isolated on one side of the < sign and the answer on the other.

-5x + 4 < \( \frac{x}{-9} \)
-9 x (-5x + 4) < x
(-9 x -5x) + (-9 x 4) < x
45x - 36 < x
45x - 36 - x < 0
45x - x < 36
44x < 36
x < \( \frac{36}{44} \)
x < \(\frac{9}{11}\)


4

If angle a = 20° and angle b = 36° what is the length of angle c?

71% Answer Correctly
97°
61°
64°
124°

Solution

The sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°:
180° = a° + b° + c°
c° = 180° - a° - b°
c° = 180° - 20° - 36° = 124°


5

What is 9a + 8a?

81% Answer Correctly
a2
17a2
17a
17

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.

9a + 8a = 17a
