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

2lw x 2wh + 2lh

lw x wh + lh


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

Simplify (3a)(3ab) - (5a2)(4b).

62% Answer Correctly
29a2b
11ab2
54a2b
-11a2b

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.

(3a)(3ab) - (5a2)(4b)
(3 x 3)(a x a x b) - (5 x 4)(a2 x b)
(9)(a1+1 x b) - (20)(a2b)
9a2b - 20a2b
-11a2b


3

The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, -6) and (2, -2). What is the slope of this line?

46% Answer Correctly
-2\(\frac{1}{2}\)
-3
3
1

Solution

The slope of this line is the change in y divided by the change in x. The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, -6) and (2, -2) so the slope becomes:

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(-2.0) - (-6.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{4}{4} \)
m = 1


4

Simplify 4a x 8b.

86% Answer Correctly
32ab
32\( \frac{a}{b} \)
32a2b2
12ab

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.

4a x 8b = (4 x 8) (a x b) = 32ab


5

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

36% Answer Correctly

same-side interior angles are complementary and equal each other

all acute angles equal each other

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


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°).
