1

The dimensions of this cube are height (h) = 6, length (l) = 1, and width (w) = 8. What is the volume?

82% Answer Correctly
252
48
360
27

Solution

The volume of a cube is height x length x width:

v = h x l x w
v = 6 x 1 x 8
v = 48


2

The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, 7) and (2, 1). What is the slope-intercept equation for this line?

41% Answer Correctly
y = \(\frac{1}{2}\)x - 4
y = 3x - 3
y = -2\(\frac{1}{2}\)x + 3
y = -1\(\frac{1}{2}\)x + 4

Solution

The slope-intercept equation for a line is y = mx + b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept of the line. From the graph, you can see that the y-intercept (the y-value from the point where the line crosses the y-axis) is 4. 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, 7) and (2, 1) so the slope becomes:

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(1.0) - (7.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{-6}{4} \)
m = -1\(\frac{1}{2}\)

Plugging these values into the slope-intercept equation:

y = -1\(\frac{1}{2}\)x + 4


3

Which of the following statements about a parallelogram is not true?

49% Answer Correctly

opposite sides and adjacent angles are equal

the area of a parallelogram is base x height

a parallelogram is a quadrilateral

the perimeter of a parallelogram is the sum of the lengths of all sides


Solution

A parallelogram is a quadrilateral with two sets of parallel sides. Opposite sides (a = c, b = d) and angles (red = red, blue = blue) are equal. The area of a parallelogram is base x height and the perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all sides (a + b + c + d).


4

If a = c = 5, b = d = 6, and the blue angle = 77°, what is the area of this parallelogram?

65% Answer Correctly
12
30
72
36

Solution

The area of a parallelogram is equal to its length x width:

a = l x w
a = a x b
a = 5 x 6
a = 30


5

If side x = 6cm, side y = 7cm, and side z = 10cm what is the perimeter of this triangle?

84% Answer Correctly
23cm
32cm
42cm
31cm

Solution

The perimeter of a triangle is the sum of the lengths of its sides:

p = x + y + z
p = 6cm + 7cm + 10cm = 23cm
