1

The dimensions of this cube are height (h) = 2, length (l) = 7, and width (w) = 3. What is the surface area?

51% Answer Correctly
238
82
108
184

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 7 x 3) + (2 x 3 x 2) + (2 x 7 x 2)
sa = (42) + (12) + (28)
sa = 82


2

If angle a = 29° and angle b = 48° what is the length of angle d?

56% Answer Correctly
148°
118°
151°
116°

Solution

An exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the two interior angles that are opposite:

d° = b° + c°

To find angle c, remember that the sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°:

180° = a° + b° + c°
c° = 180° - a° - b°
c° = 180° - 29° - 48° = 103°

So, d° = 48° + 103° = 151°

A shortcut to get this answer is to remember that angles around a line add up to 180°:

a° + d° = 180°
d° = 180° - a°
d° = 180° - 29° = 151°


3

A(n) __________ is to a parallelogram as a square is to a rectangle.

51% Answer Correctly

rhombus

triangle

quadrilateral

trapezoid


Solution

A rhombus is a parallelogram with four equal-length sides. A square is a rectangle with four equal-length sides.


4

Which of the following is not required to define the slope-intercept equation for a line?

42% Answer Correctly

slope

x-intercept

\({\Delta y \over \Delta x}\)

y-intercept


Solution

A line on the coordinate grid can be defined by a slope-intercept equation: y = mx + b. For a given value of x, the value of y can be determined given the slope (m) and y-intercept (b) of the line. The slope of a line is change in y over change in x, \({\Delta y \over \Delta x}\), and the y-intercept is the y-coordinate where the line crosses the vertical y-axis.


5

Order the following types of angle from least number of degrees to most number of degrees.

75% Answer Correctly

acute, obtuse, right

right, acute, obtuse

acute, right, obtuse

right, obtuse, acute


Solution

An acute angle measures less than 90°, a right angle measures 90°, and an obtuse angle measures more than 90°.
