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

h2 x l2 x w2

2lw x 2wh + 2lh

lw x wh + lh

h x l x w


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

Solve for y:
y2 + 5y + 4 = 0

58% Answer Correctly
6 or -8
-4 or -9
-1 or -4
2 or -9

Solution

The first step to solve a quadratic equation that's set to zero is to factor the quadratic equation:

y2 + 5y + 4 = 0
(y + 1)(y + 4) = 0

For this expression to be true, the left side of the expression must equal zero. Therefore, either (y + 1) or (y + 4) must equal zero:

If (y + 1) = 0, y must equal -1
If (y + 4) = 0, y must equal -4

So the solution is that y = -1 or -4


3

If the length of AB equals the length of BD, point B __________ this line segment.

45% Answer Correctly

bisects

intersects

trisects

midpoints


Solution

A line segment is a portion of a line with a measurable length. The midpoint of a line segment is the point exactly halfway between the endpoints. The midpoint bisects (cuts in half) the line segment.


4

Solve -7a - 7a = -8a + 8z + 4 for a in terms of z.

34% Answer Correctly
z - 6
-2z + \(\frac{1}{2}\)
-1\(\frac{4}{11}\)z + \(\frac{9}{11}\)
15z + 4

Solution

To solve this equation, isolate the variable for which you are solving (a) on one side of the equation and put everything else on the other side.

-7a - 7z = -8a + 8z + 4
-7a = -8a + 8z + 4 + 7z
-7a + 8a = 8z + 4 + 7z
a = 15z + 4


5

Solve for x:
x + 4 < 8 + 6x

55% Answer Correctly
x < 1\(\frac{2}{3}\)
x < -7
x < -\(\frac{4}{5}\)
x < -\(\frac{1}{3}\)

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.

x + 4 < 8 + 6x
x < 8 + 6x - 4
x - 6x < 8 - 4
-5x < 4
x < \( \frac{4}{-5} \)
x < -\(\frac{4}{5}\)
