1

The formula for volume of a cube in terms of height (h), length (l), and width (w) is which of the following?

68% Answer Correctly

h2 x l2 x w2

2lw x 2wh + 2lh

h x l x w

lw x wh + lh


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

If side a = 4, side b = 1, what is the length of the hypotenuse of this right triangle?

64% Answer Correctly
\( \sqrt{17} \)
\( \sqrt{40} \)
\( \sqrt{10} \)
\( \sqrt{82} \)

Solution

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

c2 = a2 + b2
c2 = 42 + 12
c2 = 16 + 1
c2 = 17
c = \( \sqrt{17} \)


3

What is 6a - 6a?

80% Answer Correctly
a2
36a2
0a
2

Solution

To combine like terms, add or subtract the coefficients (the numbers that come before the variables) of terms that have the same variable raised to the same exponent.

6a - 6a = 0a


4

Which of the following statements about a parallelogram is not true?

50% Answer Correctly

a parallelogram is a quadrilateral

the perimeter of a parallelogram is the sum of the lengths of all sides

opposite sides and adjacent angles are equal

the area of a parallelogram is base x height


Solution

A parallelogram is a quadrilateral with two sets of parallel sides. Opposite sides (a = c, b = d) and angles (red = red, blue = blue) are equal. The area of a parallelogram is base x height and the perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all sides (a + b + c + d).


5

If a = 1, b = 8, c = 8, and d = 2, what is the perimeter of this quadrilateral?

88% Answer Correctly
19
17
10
28

Solution

Perimeter is equal to the sum of the four sides:

p = a + b + c + d
p = 1 + 8 + 8 + 2
p = 19
