To multiply binomials, use the FOIL method. Which of the following is not a part of the FOIL method?

84% Answer Correctly

First

Inside

Last

Odd


Solution

To multiply binomials, use the FOIL method. FOIL stands for First, Outside, Inside, Last and refers to the position of each term in the parentheses.


2

A quadrilateral is a shape with __________ sides.

91% Answer Correctly

5

2

3

4


Solution

A quadrilateral is a shape with four sides. The perimeter of a quadrilateral is the sum of the lengths of its four sides.


3

The dimensions of this cube are height (h) = 3, length (l) = 9, and width (w) = 5. What is the surface area?

51% Answer Correctly
228
154
174
22

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 9 x 5) + (2 x 5 x 3) + (2 x 9 x 3)
sa = (90) + (30) + (54)
sa = 174


4

If the area of this square is 9, what is the length of one of the diagonals?

68% Answer Correctly
9\( \sqrt{2} \)
3\( \sqrt{2} \)
\( \sqrt{2} \)
2\( \sqrt{2} \)

Solution

To find the diagonal we need to know the length of one of the square's sides. We know the area and the area of a square is the length of one side squared:

a = s2

so the length of one side of the square is:

s = \( \sqrt{a} \) = \( \sqrt{9} \) = 3

The Pythagorean theorem defines the square of the hypotenuse (diagonal) of a triangle with a right angle as the sum of the squares of the other two sides:

c2 = a2 + b2
c2 = 32 + 32
c2 = 18
c = \( \sqrt{18} \) = \( \sqrt{9 x 2} \) = \( \sqrt{9} \) \( \sqrt{2} \)
c = 3\( \sqrt{2} \)


5

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

78% Answer Correctly

a = π r2

a = π r

a = π d

a = π d2


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.
