1

If side x = 14cm, side y = 6cm, and side z = 6cm what is the perimeter of this triangle?

84% Answer Correctly
26cm
22cm
30cm
18cm

Solution

The perimeter of a triangle is the sum of the lengths of its sides:

p = x + y + z
p = 14cm + 6cm + 6cm = 26cm


2

Solve for z:
4z + 9 > 5 + 3z

55% Answer Correctly
z > -4
z > -\(\frac{1}{2}\)
z > -\(\frac{3}{8}\)
z > -\(\frac{3}{4}\)

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.

4z + 9 > 5 + 3z
4z > 5 + 3z - 9
4z - 3z > 5 - 9
z > -4

Simplify (8a)(6ab) + (7a2)(6b).

65% Answer Correctly
90a2b
182a2b
-6ab2
6ab2

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.

(8a)(6ab) + (7a2)(6b)
(8 x 6)(a x a x b) + (7 x 6)(a2 x b)
(48)(a1+1 x b) + (42)(a2b)
48a2b + 42a2b
90a2b

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

60% Answer Correctly

vertical, supplementary

supplementary, vertical

obtuse, acute

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).


5

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

54% Answer Correctly

equilateral, isosceles and right

isosceles and right

equilateral and right

equilateral and isosceles


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.
