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

lw x wh + lh

h2 x l2 x w2

h x l x w

2lw x 2wh + 2lh


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 coordinate grid is composed of which of the following?

91% Answer Correctly

all of these

x-axis

origin

y-axis


Solution

The coordinate grid is composed of a horizontal x-axis and a vertical y-axis. The center of the grid, where the x-axis and y-axis meet, is called the origin.


3

If angle a = 40° and angle b = 62° what is the length of angle d?

56% Answer Correctly
140°
141°
126°
157°

Solution

An exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the two interior angles that are opposite:

d° = b° + c°

To find angle c, remember that the sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°:

180° = a° + b° + c°
c° = 180° - a° - b°
c° = 180° - 40° - 62° = 78°

So, d° = 62° + 78° = 140°

A shortcut to get this answer is to remember that angles around a line add up to 180°:

a° + d° = 180°
d° = 180° - a°
d° = 180° - 40° = 140°


4

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

52% Answer Correctly

trapezoid

rhombus

triangle

quadrilateral


Solution

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


5

Find the value of a:
-2a + z = 7
2a + 3z = -1

42% Answer Correctly
4\(\frac{5}{7}\)
\(\frac{12}{25}\)
-2\(\frac{3}{4}\)
-1\(\frac{5}{9}\)

Solution

You need to find the value of a so solve the first equation in terms of z:

-2a + z = 7
z = 7 + 2a

then substitute the result (7 - -2a) into the second equation:

2a + 3(7 + 2a) = -1
2a + (3 x 7) + (3 x 2a) = -1
2a + 21 + 6a = -1
2a + 6a = -1 - 21
8a = -22
a = \( \frac{-22}{8} \)
a = -2\(\frac{3}{4}\)
