1

The dimensions of this cube are height (h) = 5, length (l) = 5, and width (w) = 7. What is the surface area?

51% Answer Correctly
144
162
190
314

Solution

The surface area of a cube is (2 x length x width) + (2 x width x height) + (2 x length x height):

sa = 2lw + 2wh + 2lh
sa = (2 x 5 x 7) + (2 x 7 x 5) + (2 x 5 x 5)
sa = (70) + (70) + (50)
sa = 190


2

If side a = 9, side b = 7, what is the length of the hypotenuse of this right triangle?

64% Answer Correctly
\( \sqrt{106} \)
\( \sqrt{130} \)
\( \sqrt{117} \)
\( \sqrt{85} \)

Solution

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

c2 = a2 + b2
c2 = 92 + 72
c2 = 81 + 49
c2 = 130
c = \( \sqrt{130} \)


3

If a = c = 4, b = d = 2, what is the area of this rectangle?

80% Answer Correctly
8
21
3
14

Solution

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

a = l x w
a = a x b
a = 4 x 2
a = 8


4

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

50% Answer Correctly

opposite sides and adjacent angles are equal

the area of a parallelogram is base x height

the perimeter of a parallelogram is the sum of the lengths of all sides

a parallelogram is a quadrilateral


Solution

A parallelogram is a quadrilateral with two sets of parallel sides. Opposite sides (a = c, b = d) and angles (red = red, blue = blue) are equal. The area of a parallelogram is base x height and the perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all sides (a + b + c + d).


5

Solve for c:
4c + 9 = -4 + 6c

60% Answer Correctly
-1
6\(\frac{1}{2}\)
-4
-\(\frac{4}{9}\)

Solution

To solve this equation, repeatedly do the same thing to both sides of the equation until the variable is isolated on one side of the equal sign and the answer on the other.

4c + 9 = -4 + 6c
4c = -4 + 6c - 9
4c - 6c = -4 - 9
-2c = -13
c = \( \frac{-13}{-2} \)
c = 6\(\frac{1}{2}\)
