Jacobinas are Filipino biscuits that

originated from Mendez, Cavite. They are
light, crisp and distinctively cubical in shape.
A baker decided to innovate this biscuit to
resemble a rectangular prism shape. The
baker chose to increase its length by 3 cm
and decrease its width by 1 cm forming a
new volume of 16.87 cubic cm.

used to find the measure of the sides of the
new Jacobina innovated by the baker?
A. (x + 3)(x – 1) = 16.87
B. (x – 3)(x + 1) = 16.87
C. (x)(x + 3)(x – 1) = 16.87
D. (x)(x – 3)(x + 1) = 16.87 .
 QUESTION NO 6 .

A triangle was formed by
connecting three non-collinear
points on the Cartesian plane.
Student X said that it can be
easily determined that the given
triangle is isosceles. Do you
 QUESTION NO. 7
A. No. If there are no indicated measures of each
side of the triangle, then we cannot determine
whether the triangle formed by the three non-
collinear points on the Cartesian plane is an
isosceles triangle.
B. No. If there are no indicated measures of each
angle of the triangle, then we cannot determine the
type of triangle that was formed by the three non-
 QUESTION NO. 7
C. Yes. We can find the length of each side of
the triangle using the distance formula. If two
sides have the same measure, then it is an
isosceles triangle.
D. Yes. We can find the lengths of the sides of
the triangle using the distance formula. If no
sides have the same measure, then it is an
isosceles triangle.
QUESTION NO 8 .

Your father bought a circular clock for your

living room. The circular clock is

QUESTION NO 8 .

A. center is at (-5,7) and radius is 15

B. center is at (5,-7) and radius is 225
C. center is at (-7,5) and radius is 15
D. center is at (7,-5) and radius is 225
QUESTION NO 9 .

After discussing the difference between

permutation and combination, your teacher
presented situations involving the two
counting techniques. In the following
situations presented, which is/are examples
of permutation and which is/are examples of
combination?
QUESTION NO 11
.
QUESTION NO. 12
QUESTION NO. 12
QUESTION NO 13
.
QUESTION NO 13
Is the solution correct? Why?
.

A. No, because the problem involves the concept of

permutation. Also, we cannot cancel out 3!
B. No, because when you multiply 6, 5, and 4 after
cancelling out 3!, the resulting product is 120, and not 20.
C. Yes, because when you divide the product of the
numerator by 3! after cancelling out the other 3!, the
answer is 20.
D. Yes, because after cancelling out 3!, the remaining
factors are 6, 5, and 4 which will then be equal to 20.
QUESTION NO. 14
