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

lw x wh + lh

2lw x 2wh + 2lh

h2 x l2 x w2

h x l x w


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 = 7, side b = 5, what is the length of the hypotenuse of this right triangle?

64% Answer Correctly
\( \sqrt{40} \)
\( \sqrt{41} \)
\( \sqrt{106} \)
\( \sqrt{74} \)

Solution

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

c2 = a2 + b2
c2 = 72 + 52
c2 = 49 + 25
c2 = 74
c = \( \sqrt{74} \)


3

Solve for y:
-5y + 7 > 9 - 9y

55% Answer Correctly
y > 1\(\frac{1}{2}\)
y > \(\frac{1}{2}\)
y > -1\(\frac{1}{8}\)
y > -\(\frac{1}{4}\)

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 > sign and the answer on the other.

-5y + 7 > 9 - 9y
-5y > 9 - 9y - 7
-5y + 9y > 9 - 7
4y > 2
y > \( \frac{2}{4} \)
y > \(\frac{1}{2}\)


4

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

77% Answer Correctly

a = π r

a = π d2

a = π d

a = 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.


5

A coordinate grid is composed of which of the following?

89% Answer Correctly

origin

x-axis

all of these

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.
