1

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

h x l x w

h2 x l2 x w2

lw x wh + lh

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

If side a = 3, side b = 6, what is the length of the hypotenuse of this right triangle?

64% Answer Correctly
\( \sqrt{82} \)
\( \sqrt{45} \)
\( \sqrt{73} \)
\( \sqrt{13} \)

Solution

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

c2 = a2 + b2
c2 = 32 + 62
c2 = 9 + 36
c2 = 45
c = \( \sqrt{45} \)


3

If a = 1, b = 3, c = 5, and d = 1, what is the perimeter of this quadrilateral?

88% Answer Correctly
16
10
13
35

Solution

Perimeter is equal to the sum of the four sides:

p = a + b + c + d
p = 1 + 3 + 5 + 1
p = 10


4

If a = c = 2, b = d = 3, what is the area of this rectangle?

80% Answer Correctly
49
8
6
32

Solution

The area of a rectangle is equal to its length x width:

a = l x w
a = a x b
a = 2 x 3
a = 6


5

Which of the following statements about parallel lines with a transversal is not correct?

36% Answer Correctly

angles in the same position on different parallel lines are called corresponding angles

all of the angles formed by a transversal are called interior angles

all acute angles equal each other

same-side interior angles are complementary and equal each other


Solution

Parallel lines are lines that share the same slope (steepness) and therefore never intersect. A transversal occurs when a set of parallel lines are crossed by another line. All of the angles formed by a transversal are called interior angles and angles in the same position on different parallel lines equal each other (a° = w°, b° = x°, c° = z°, d° = y°) and are called corresponding angles. Alternate interior angles are equal (a° = z°, b° = y°, c° = w°, d° = x°) and all acute angles (a° = c° = w° = z°) and all obtuse angles (b° = d° = x° = y°) equal each other. Same-side interior angles are supplementary and add up to 180° (e.g. a° + d° = 180°, d° + c° = 180°).
