1

The dimensions of this cube are height (h) = 9, length (l) = 9, and width (w) = 6. What is the surface area?

51% Answer Correctly
378
246
14
144

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 9 x 6) + (2 x 6 x 9) + (2 x 9 x 9)
sa = (108) + (108) + (162)
sa = 378


2

Which of the following statements about math operations is incorrect?

70% Answer Correctly

you can multiply monomials that have different variables and different exponents

all of these statements are correct

you can add monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent

you can subtract monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent


Solution

You can only add or subtract monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent. For example, 2a + 4a = 6a and 4a2 - a2 = 3a2 but 2a + 4b and 7a - 3b cannot be combined. However, you can multiply and divide monomials with unlike terms. For example, 2a x 6b = 12ab.


3

Which of the following expressions contains exactly two terms?

82% Answer Correctly

polynomial

binomial

quadratic

monomial


Solution

A monomial contains one term, a binomial contains two terms, and a polynomial contains more than two terms.


4

A coordinate grid is composed of which of the following?

88% Answer Correctly

x-axis

origin

y-axis

all of these


Solution

The coordinate grid is composed of a horizontal x-axis and a vertical y-axis. The center of the grid, where the x-axis and y-axis meet, is called the origin.


5

For this diagram, the Pythagorean theorem states that b2 = ?

47% Answer Correctly

c - a

c2 + a2

c2 - a2

a2 - c2


Solution

The Pythagorean theorem defines the relationship between the side lengths of a right triangle. The length of the hypotenuse squared (c2) is equal to the sum of the two perpendicular sides squared (a2 + b2): c2 = a2 + b2 or, solved for c, \(c = \sqrt{a + b}\)
