1

The dimensions of this cube are height (h) = 5, length (l) = 3, and width (w) = 2. What is the surface area?

51% Answer Correctly
72
62
192
266

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 3 x 2) + (2 x 2 x 5) + (2 x 3 x 5)
sa = (12) + (20) + (30)
sa = 62


2

If side a = 6, side b = 5, what is the length of the hypotenuse of this right triangle?

64% Answer Correctly
\( \sqrt{50} \)
\( \sqrt{13} \)
\( \sqrt{2} \)
\( \sqrt{61} \)

Solution

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

c2 = a2 + b2
c2 = 62 + 52
c2 = 36 + 25
c2 = 61
c = \( \sqrt{61} \)


3

If BD = 1 and AD = 11, AB = ?

76% Answer Correctly
8
7
17
10

Solution

The entire length of this line is represented by AD which is AB + BD:

AD = AB + BD

Solving for AB:

AB = AD - BD
AB = 11 - 1
AB = 10


4

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

78% 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

Solve for a:
4a + 7 > \( \frac{a}{-1} \)

44% Answer Correctly
a > -\(\frac{45}{62}\)
a > -1\(\frac{2}{5}\)
a > -\(\frac{5}{36}\)
a > \(\frac{24}{53}\)

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.

4a + 7 > \( \frac{a}{-1} \)
-1 x (4a + 7) > a
(-1 x 4a) + (-1 x 7) > a
-4a - 7 > a
-4a - 7 - a > 0
-4a - a > 7
-5a > 7
a > \( \frac{7}{-5} \)
a > -1\(\frac{2}{5}\)
