1

The formula for volume of a cube in terms of height (h), length (l), and width (w) is which of the following?

68% Answer Correctly

h x l x w

lw x wh + lh

2lw x 2wh + 2lh

h2 x l2 x w2


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

Which of the following is not a part of PEMDAS, the acronym for math order of operations?

91% Answer Correctly

exponents

division

addition

pairs


Solution

When solving an equation with two variables, replace the variables with the values given and then solve the now variable-free equation. (Remember order of operations, PEMDAS, Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication/Division, Addition/Subtraction.)


3

Solve for y:
-8y - 1 = \( \frac{y}{3} \)

46% Answer Correctly
-\(\frac{4}{5}\)
1\(\frac{5}{13}\)
-1\(\frac{7}{41}\)
-\(\frac{3}{25}\)

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.

-8y - 1 = \( \frac{y}{3} \)
3 x (-8y - 1) = y
(3 x -8y) + (3 x -1) = y
-24y - 3 = y
-24y - 3 - y = 0
-24y - y = 3
-25y = 3
y = \( \frac{3}{-25} \)
y = -\(\frac{3}{25}\)


4

Find the value of c:
-6c + z = 7
-9c - 8z = 8

42% Answer Correctly
-1\(\frac{7}{57}\)
-\(\frac{1}{5}\)
1\(\frac{1}{9}\)
\(\frac{4}{15}\)

Solution

You need to find the value of c so solve the first equation in terms of z:

-6c + z = 7
z = 7 + 6c

then substitute the result (7 - -6c) into the second equation:

-9c - 8(7 + 6c) = 8
-9c + (-8 x 7) + (-8 x 6c) = 8
-9c - 56 - 48c = 8
-9c - 48c = 8 + 56
-57c = 64
c = \( \frac{64}{-57} \)
c = -1\(\frac{7}{57}\)


5

A cylinder with a radius (r) and a height (h) has a surface area of:

54% Answer Correctly

4π r2

2(π r2) + 2π rh

π r2h

π r2h2


Solution

A cylinder is a solid figure with straight parallel sides and a circular or oval cross section with a radius (r) and a height (h). The volume of a cylinder is π r2h and the surface area is 2(π r2) + 2π rh.
