The dimensions of this cube are height (h) = 5, length (l) = 2, and width (w) = 4. What is the surface area?

51% Answer Correctly
198
76
64
228

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 2 x 4) + (2 x 4 x 5) + (2 x 2 x 5)
sa = (16) + (40) + (20)
sa = 76

Simplify 9a x 8b.

86% Answer Correctly
72a2b2
17ab
72\( \frac{a}{b} \)
72ab

Solution

To multiply monomials, multiply the coefficients (the numbers that come before the variables) of each term, add the exponents of like variables, and multiply the different variables together.

9a x 8b = (9 x 8) (a x b) = 72ab


3

Which of the following is not true about both rectangles and squares?

63% Answer Correctly

the area is length x width

the lengths of all sides are equal

all interior angles are right angles

the perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all four sides


Solution

A rectangle is a parallelogram containing four right angles. Opposite sides (a = c, b = d) are equal and the perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all sides (a + b + c + d) or, comonly, 2 x length x width. The area of a rectangle is length x width. A square is a rectangle with four equal length sides. The perimeter of a square is 4 x length of one side (4s) and the area is the length of one side squared (s2).


4

What is 8a - 6a?

80% Answer Correctly
48a
14a2
2a2
2a

Solution

To combine like terms, add or subtract the coefficients (the numbers that come before the variables) of terms that have the same variable raised to the same exponent.

8a - 6a = 2a


5

Simplify (8a)(9ab) - (9a2)(2b).

62% Answer Correctly
90a2b
90ab2
-54ab2
54a2b

Solution

To multiply monomials, multiply the coefficients (the numbers that come before the variables) of each term, add the exponents of like variables, and multiply the different variables together.

(8a)(9ab) - (9a2)(2b)
(8 x 9)(a x a x b) - (9 x 2)(a2 x b)
(72)(a1+1 x b) - (18)(a2b)
72a2b - 18a2b
54a2b
