1

The dimensions of this cube are height (h) = 8, length (l) = 3, and width (w) = 3. What is the surface area?

51% Answer Correctly
306
138
114
236

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 3) + (2 x 3 x 8) + (2 x 3 x 8)
sa = (18) + (48) + (48)
sa = 114


2

Which of the following is not required to define the slope-intercept equation for a line?

42% Answer Correctly

y-intercept

x-intercept

slope

\({\Delta y \over \Delta x}\)


Solution

A line on the coordinate grid can be defined by a slope-intercept equation: y = mx + b. For a given value of x, the value of y can be determined given the slope (m) and y-intercept (b) of the line. The slope of a line is change in y over change in x, \({\Delta y \over \Delta x}\), and the y-intercept is the y-coordinate where the line crosses the vertical y-axis.


3

If a = c = 8, b = d = 9, what is the area of this rectangle?

80% Answer Correctly
28
20
49
72

Solution

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

a = l x w
a = a x b
a = 8 x 9
a = 72


4

What is the circumference of a circle with a diameter of 7?

71% Answer Correctly
36π
20π
28π

Solution

The formula for circumference is circle diameter x π:

c = πd
c = 7π


5

Find the value of a:
-7a + z = 3
-2a + 2z = -3

42% Answer Correctly
-1\(\frac{5}{27}\)
2\(\frac{1}{2}\)
1\(\frac{4}{7}\)
-\(\frac{3}{4}\)

Solution

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

-7a + z = 3
z = 3 + 7a

then substitute the result (3 - -7a) into the second equation:

-2a + 2(3 + 7a) = -3
-2a + (2 x 3) + (2 x 7a) = -3
-2a + 6 + 14a = -3
-2a + 14a = -3 - 6
12a = -9
a = \( \frac{-9}{12} \)
a = -\(\frac{3}{4}\)
