1

The dimensions of this cube are height (h) = 1, length (l) = 1, and width (w) = 3. What is the volume?

82% Answer Correctly
49
192
3
252
Solution

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

v = h x l x w
v = 1 x 1 x 3
v = 3

2

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

88% Answer Correctly

pairs

exponents

division

addition
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.)

3

If a = 4, b = 4, c = 5, and d = 7, what is the perimeter of this quadrilateral?

88% Answer Correctly
8
19
16
20
Solution

Perimeter is equal to the sum of the four sides:

p = a + b + c + d
p = 4 + 4 + 5 + 7
p = 20

4

Which of the following statements about math operations is incorrect?

70% Answer Correctly

you can multiply monomials that have different variables and different exponents

you can subtract monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent

all of these statements are correct

you can add monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent
Solution

You can only add or subtract monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent. For example, 2a + 4a = 6a and 4a2 - a2 = 3a2 but 2a + 4b and 7a - 3b cannot be combined. However, you can multiply and divide monomials with unlike terms. For example, 2a x 6b = 12ab.

If the base of this triangle is 8 and the height is 5, what is the area?

58% Answer Correctly
75
36
32\(\frac{1}{2}\)
20
Solution

The area of a triangle is equal to ½ base x height:

a = ½bh
a = ½ x 8 x 5 = \( \frac{40}{2} \) = 20
