1

The dimensions of this cube are height (h) = 5, length (l) = 4, and width (w) = 2. What is the volume?

82% Answer Correctly
168
40
240
90

Solution

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

v = h x l x w
v = 5 x 4 x 2
v = 40


2

If side x = 6cm, side y = 15cm, and side z = 14cm what is the perimeter of this triangle?

84% Answer Correctly
29cm
37cm
36cm
35cm

Solution

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

p = x + y + z
p = 6cm + 15cm + 14cm = 35cm


3

For this diagram, the Pythagorean theorem states that b2 = ?

47% Answer Correctly

a2 - c2

c2 - a2

c2 + a2

c - a


Solution

The Pythagorean theorem defines the relationship between the side lengths of a right triangle. The length of the hypotenuse squared (c2) is equal to the sum of the two perpendicular sides squared (a2 + b2): c2 = a2 + b2 or, solved for c, \(c = \sqrt{a + b}\)


4

A quadrilateral is a shape with __________ sides.

90% Answer Correctly

5

2

3

4


Solution

A quadrilateral is a shape with four sides. The perimeter of a quadrilateral is the sum of the lengths of its four sides.


5

Which of the following statements about parallel lines with a transversal is not correct?

36% Answer Correctly

same-side interior angles are complementary and equal each other

all of the angles formed by a transversal are called interior angles

angles in the same position on different parallel lines are called corresponding angles

all acute angles equal each other


Solution

Parallel lines are lines that share the same slope (steepness) and therefore never intersect. A transversal occurs when a set of parallel lines are crossed by another line. All of the angles formed by a transversal are called interior angles and angles in the same position on different parallel lines equal each other (a° = w°, b° = x°, c° = z°, d° = y°) and are called corresponding angles. Alternate interior angles are equal (a° = z°, b° = y°, c° = w°, d° = x°) and all acute angles (a° = c° = w° = z°) and all obtuse angles (b° = d° = x° = y°) equal each other. Same-side interior angles are supplementary and add up to 180° (e.g. a° + d° = 180°, d° + c° = 180°).
