1

If a = c = 3, b = d = 2, what is the area of this rectangle?

80% Answer Correctly
7
30
6
20

Solution

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

a = l x w
a = a x b
a = 3 x 2
a = 6


2

The formula for volume of a cube in terms of height (h), length (l), and width (w) is which of the following?

68% Answer Correctly

lw x wh + lh

h2 x l2 x w2

h x l x w

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.


3

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

50% Answer Correctly

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

the area of a parallelogram is base x height

a parallelogram is a quadrilateral

opposite sides and adjacent angles are equal


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

Simplify (2a)(4ab) - (9a2)(9b).

62% Answer Correctly
89a2b
73ab2
108ab2
-73a2b

Solution

To multiply monomials, multiply the coefficients (the numbers that come before the variables) of each term, add the exponents of like variables, and multiply the different variables together.

(2a)(4ab) - (9a2)(9b)
(2 x 4)(a x a x b) - (9 x 9)(a2 x b)
(8)(a1+1 x b) - (81)(a2b)
8a2b - 81a2b
-73a2b


5

Which of the following statements about math operations is incorrect?

71% Answer Correctly

you can add monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent

you can multiply monomials that have different variables and different exponents

you can subtract monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent

all of these statements are correct


Solution

You can only add or subtract monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent. For example, 2a + 4a = 6a and 4a2 - a2 = 3a2 but 2a + 4b and 7a - 3b cannot be combined. However, you can multiply and divide monomials with unlike terms. For example, 2a x 6b = 12ab.
