1

The dimensions of this cube are height (h) = 6, length (l) = 2, and width (w) = 4. What is the volume?

82% Answer Correctly
168
567
96
48

Solution

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

v = h x l x w
v = 6 x 2 x 4
v = 48


2

The formula for the area of a circle is which of the following?

24% Answer Correctly

c = π r

c = π d2

c = π d

c = π r2


Solution

The circumference of a circle is the distance around its perimeter and equals π (approx. 3.14159) x diameter: c = π d. The area of a circle is π x (radius)2 : a = π r2.


3

Breaking apart a quadratic expression into a pair of binomials is called:

74% Answer Correctly

squaring

normalizing

deconstructing

factoring


Solution

To factor a quadratic expression, apply the FOIL (First, Outside, Inside, Last) method in reverse.


4

Factor y2 + 2y - 3

54% Answer Correctly
(y + 1)(y + 3)
(y - 1)(y - 3)
(y - 1)(y + 3)
(y + 1)(y - 3)

Solution

To factor a quadratic expression, apply the FOIL method (First, Outside, Inside, Last) in reverse. First, find the two Last terms that will multiply to produce -3 as well and sum (Inside, Outside) to equal 2. For this problem, those two numbers are -1 and 3. Then, plug these into a set of binomials using the square root of the First variable (y2):

y2 + 2y - 3
y2 + (-1 + 3)y + (-1 x 3)
(y - 1)(y + 3)


5

The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 5 and radius (r) = 9. What is the surface area?

48% Answer Correctly
72π
144π
306π
252π

Solution

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

sa = 2πr2 + 2πrh
sa = 2π(92) + 2π(9 x 5)
sa = 2π(81) + 2π(45)
sa = (2 x 81)π + (2 x 45)π
sa = 162π + 90π
sa = 252π
