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

h x l x w

2lw x 2wh + 2lh

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

The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 4 and radius (r) = 3. What is the surface area?

48% Answer Correctly
42π
16π
160π
224π

Solution

The surface area of a cylinder is 2πr2 + 2πrh:

sa = 2πr2 + 2πrh
sa = 2π(32) + 2π(3 x 4)
sa = 2π(9) + 2π(12)
sa = (2 x 9)π + (2 x 12)π
sa = 18π + 24π
sa = 42π


3

The dimensions of this cube are height (h) = 9, length (l) = 4, and width (w) = 9. What is the volume?

83% Answer Correctly
324
48
336
14

Solution

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

v = h x l x w
v = 9 x 4 x 9
v = 324


4

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

57% Answer Correctly

exterior angle = sum of two adjacent interior angles

area = ½bh

perimeter = sum of side lengths

sum of interior angles = 180°


Solution

A triangle is a three-sided polygon. It has three interior angles that add up to 180° (a + b + c = 180°). An exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the two interior angles that are opposite (d = b + c). The perimeter of a triangle is equal to the sum of the lengths of its three sides, the height of a triangle is equal to the length from the base to the opposite vertex (angle) and the area equals one-half triangle base x height: a = ½ base x height.


5

Which of the following is not required to define the slope-intercept equation for a line?

42% Answer Correctly

slope

\({\Delta y \over \Delta x}\)

x-intercept

y-intercept


Solution

A line on the coordinate grid can be defined by a slope-intercept equation: y = mx + b. For a given value of x, the value of y can be determined given the slope (m) and y-intercept (b) of the line. The slope of a line is change in y over change in x, \({\Delta y \over \Delta x}\), and the y-intercept is the y-coordinate where the line crosses the vertical y-axis.
