1

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

67% Answer Correctly

2lw x 2wh + 2lh

h x l x w

h2 x l2 x w2

lw x wh + lh


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.


2

What is 8a + 6a?

81% Answer Correctly
a2
14a2
48a2
14a

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.

8a + 6a = 14a


3

The dimensions of this cube are height (h) = 3, length (l) = 8, and width (w) = 2. What is the surface area?

51% Answer Correctly
40
92
54
182

Solution

The surface area of a cube is (2 x length x width) + (2 x width x height) + (2 x length x height):

sa = 2lw + 2wh + 2lh
sa = (2 x 8 x 2) + (2 x 2 x 3) + (2 x 8 x 3)
sa = (32) + (12) + (48)
sa = 92


4

The formula for the area of a circle is which of the following?

77% Answer Correctly

a = π d

a = π d2

a = π r2

a = π r


Solution

The circumference of a circle is the distance around its perimeter and equals π (approx. 3.14159) x diameter: c = π d. The area of a circle is π x (radius)2 : a = π r2.


5

Which of the following statements about a triangle is not true?

57% Answer Correctly

perimeter = sum of side lengths

exterior angle = sum of two adjacent interior angles

area = ½bh

sum of interior angles = 180°


Solution

A triangle is a three-sided polygon. It has three interior angles that add up to 180° (a + b + c = 180°). An exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the two interior angles that are opposite (d = b + c). The perimeter of a triangle is equal to the sum of the lengths of its three sides, the height of a triangle is equal to the length from the base to the opposite vertex (angle) and the area equals one-half triangle base x height: a = ½ base x height.
