On this circle, line segment AB is the:

72% Answer Correctly

diameter

chord

radius

circumference


Solution

A circle is a figure in which each point around its perimeter is an equal distance from the center. The radius of a circle is the distance between the center and any point along its perimeter. A chord is a line segment that connects any two points along its perimeter. The diameter of a circle is the length of a chord that passes through the center of the circle and equals twice the circle's radius (2r).

The dimensions of this cube are height (h) = 7, length (l) = 3, and width (w) = 3. What is the volume?

83% Answer Correctly
63
60
84
40

Solution

The volume of a cube is height x length x width:

v = h x l x w
v = 7 x 3 x 3
v = 63


3

The dimensions of this cube are height (h) = 6, length (l) = 8, and width (w) = 4. What is the surface area?

51% Answer Correctly
150
144
208
318

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 4) + (2 x 4 x 6) + (2 x 8 x 6)
sa = (64) + (48) + (96)
sa = 208


4

Which of the following statements about math operations is incorrect?

71% Answer Correctly

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

you can multiply monomials that have different variables and different exponents

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

all of these statements are correct


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.


5

A(n) __________ is two expressions separated by an equal sign.

77% Answer Correctly

problem

equation

expression

formula


Solution

An equation is two expressions separated by an equal sign. The key to solving equations is to repeatedly do the same thing to both sides of the equation until the variable is isolated on one side of the equal sign and the answer on the other.
