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

lw x wh + lh

2lw x 2wh + 2lh

h x l x w

h2 x l2 x w2


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

A cylinder with a radius (r) and a height (h) has a surface area of:

53% Answer Correctly

π r2h2

2(π r2) + 2π rh

π r2h

4π r2


Solution

A cylinder is a solid figure with straight parallel sides and a circular or oval cross section with a radius (r) and a height (h). The volume of a cylinder is π r2h and the surface area is 2(π r2) + 2π rh.


3

If side a = 6, side b = 1, what is the length of the hypotenuse of this right triangle?

64% Answer Correctly
\( \sqrt{37} \)
\( \sqrt{98} \)
\( \sqrt{85} \)
\( \sqrt{29} \)

Solution

According to the Pythagorean theorem, the hypotenuse squared is equal to the sum of the two perpendicular sides squared:

c2 = a2 + b2
c2 = 62 + 12
c2 = 36 + 1
c2 = 37
c = \( \sqrt{37} \)


4

If side x = 13cm, side y = 10cm, and side z = 8cm what is the perimeter of this triangle?

84% Answer Correctly
18cm
29cm
31cm
35cm

Solution

The perimeter of a triangle is the sum of the lengths of its sides:

p = x + y + z
p = 13cm + 10cm + 8cm = 31cm


5

Simplify (y + 5)(y - 4)

63% Answer Correctly
y2 - y - 20
y2 - 9y + 20
y2 + 9y + 20
y2 + y - 20

Solution

To multiply binomials, use the FOIL method. FOIL stands for First, Outside, Inside, Last and refers to the position of each term in the parentheses:

(y + 5)(y - 4)
(y x y) + (y x -4) + (5 x y) + (5 x -4)
y2 - 4y + 5y - 20
y2 + y - 20
