What is 5a9 + 8a9?

74% Answer Correctly
40a9
13a9
40a18
a918

Solution

To combine like terms, add or subtract the coefficients (the numbers that come before the variables) of terms that have the same variable raised to the same exponent.

5a9 + 8a9 = 13a9


2

If side a = 3, side b = 2, what is the length of the hypotenuse of this right triangle?

63% Answer Correctly
\( \sqrt{13} \)
\( \sqrt{61} \)
\( \sqrt{145} \)
\( \sqrt{106} \)

Solution

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

c2 = a2 + b2
c2 = 32 + 22
c2 = 9 + 4
c2 = 13
c = \( \sqrt{13} \)


3

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

h x l x w

lw x wh + lh

h2 x l2 x w2

2lw x 2wh + 2lh


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.


4

The dimensions of this cube are height (h) = 8, length (l) = 2, and width (w) = 3. What is the surface area?

51% Answer Correctly
146
92
104
34

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 2 x 3) + (2 x 3 x 8) + (2 x 2 x 8)
sa = (12) + (48) + (32)
sa = 92


5

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

76% Answer Correctly

a = π d2

a = π r2

a = π r

a = π d


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.
