1

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

51% Answer Correctly
182
178
22
198

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 3 x 7) + (2 x 7 x 7) + (2 x 3 x 7)
sa = (42) + (98) + (42)
sa = 182


2

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

76% Answer Correctly

equation

formula

expression

problem


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.


3

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

lw x wh + lh

h2 x l2 x w2

h x l x w


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.


4

If side a = 6, side b = 3, what is the length of the hypotenuse of this right triangle?

64% Answer Correctly
\( \sqrt{17} \)
\( \sqrt{58} \)
\( \sqrt{52} \)
\( \sqrt{45} \)

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 + 32
c2 = 36 + 9
c2 = 45
c = \( \sqrt{45} \)


5

Which of the following is not a part of PEMDAS, the acronym for math order of operations?

88% Answer Correctly

addition

exponents

division

pairs


Solution

When solving an equation with two variables, replace the variables with the values given and then solve the now variable-free equation. (Remember order of operations, PEMDAS, Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication/Division, Addition/Subtraction.)
