1

The dimensions of this cube are height (h) = 1, length (l) = 8, and width (w) = 4. What is the volume?

82% Answer Correctly
32
144
56
200

Solution

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

v = h x l x w
v = 1 x 8 x 4
v = 32


2

On this circle, line segment CD is the:

46% Answer Correctly

radius

chord

diameter

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).


3

A(n) __________ is to a parallelogram as a square is to a rectangle.

51% Answer Correctly

quadrilateral

rhombus

triangle

trapezoid


Solution

A rhombus is a parallelogram with four equal-length sides. A square is a rectangle with four equal-length sides.


4

Solve for x:
x2 - 2x - 9 = -x + 3

48% Answer Correctly
-3 or 4
-2 or -8
-5 or -8
5 or -8

Solution

The first step to solve a quadratic expression that's not set to zero is to solve the equation so that it is set to zero:

x2 - 2x - 9 = -x + 3
x2 - 2x - 9 - 3 = -x
x2 - 2x + x - 12 = 0
x2 - x - 12 = 0

Next, factor the quadratic equation:

x2 - x - 12 = 0
(x + 3)(x - 4) = 0

For this expression to be true, the left side of the expression must equal zero. Therefore, either (x + 3) or (x - 4) must equal zero:

If (x + 3) = 0, x must equal -3
If (x - 4) = 0, x must equal 4

So the solution is that x = -3 or 4


5

If a = 6, b = 2, c = 7, and d = 2, what is the perimeter of this quadrilateral?

88% Answer Correctly
14
13
21
17

Solution

Perimeter is equal to the sum of the four sides:

p = a + b + c + d
p = 6 + 2 + 7 + 2
p = 17
