1

If side x = 11cm, side y = 13cm, and side z = 6cm what is the perimeter of this triangle?

84% Answer Correctly
22cm
33cm
36cm
30cm

Solution

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

p = x + y + z
p = 11cm + 13cm + 6cm = 30cm


2

Find the value of a:
-9a + y = -7
-7a + 2y = 3

42% Answer Correctly
1\(\frac{1}{2}\)
-3
\(\frac{4}{5}\)
1\(\frac{6}{11}\)

Solution

You need to find the value of a so solve the first equation in terms of y:

-9a + y = -7
y = -7 + 9a

then substitute the result (-7 - -9a) into the second equation:

-7a + 2(-7 + 9a) = 3
-7a + (2 x -7) + (2 x 9a) = 3
-7a - 14 + 18a = 3
-7a + 18a = 3 + 14
11a = 17
a = \( \frac{17}{11} \)
a = 1\(\frac{6}{11}\)


3

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

75% 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°.


4

Solve for x:
5x - 1 < \( \frac{x}{4} \)

44% Answer Correctly
x < 3\(\frac{6}{19}\)
x < 3
x < \(\frac{4}{19}\)
x < \(\frac{36}{73}\)

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 - 1 < \( \frac{x}{4} \)
4 x (5x - 1) < x
(4 x 5x) + (4 x -1) < x
20x - 4 < x
20x - 4 - x < 0
20x - x < 4
19x < 4
x < \( \frac{4}{19} \)
x < \(\frac{4}{19}\)


5

What is 4a2 + 7a2?

75% Answer Correctly
-3a4
-3
28a4
11a2

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.

4a2 + 7a2 = 11a2
