1

The dimensions of this cube are height (h) = 7, length (l) = 3, and width (w) = 2. What is the volume?

83% Answer Correctly
224
42
48
20

Solution

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

v = h x l x w
v = 7 x 3 x 2
v = 42


2

When two lines intersect, adjacent angles are __________ (they add up to 180°) and angles across from either other are __________ (they're equal).

60% Answer Correctly

acute, obtuse

vertical, supplementary

obtuse, acute

supplementary, vertical


Solution

Angles around a line add up to 180°. Angles around a point add up to 360°. When two lines intersect, adjacent angles are supplementary (they add up to 180°) and angles across from either other are vertical (they're equal).


3

A(n) __________ is two expressions separated by an equal sign.

76% Answer Correctly

problem

equation

formula

expression


Solution

An equation is two expressions separated by an equal sign. The key to solving equations is to repeatedly do the same thing to both sides of the equation until the variable is isolated on one side of the equal sign and the answer on the other.


4

Solve for c:
c2 + 7c - 8 = 0

58% Answer Correctly
-1 or -8
6 or 5
6 or -4
1 or -8

Solution

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

c2 + 7c - 8 = 0
(c - 1)(c + 8) = 0

For this expression to be true, the left side of the expression must equal zero. Therefore, either (c - 1) or (c + 8) must equal zero:

If (c - 1) = 0, c must equal 1
If (c + 8) = 0, c must equal -8

So the solution is that c = 1 or -8


5

What is 4a - 7a?

79% Answer Correctly
-3a2
a2
-3a
11a2

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.

4a - 7a = -3a
