1

If c = -2 and z = -6, what is the value of 2c(c - z)?

68% Answer Correctly
-280
96
-16
-42

Solution

To solve this equation, replace the variables with the values given and then solve the now variable-free equation. (Remember order of operations, PEMDAS, Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication/Division, Addition/Subtraction.)

2c(c - z)
2(-2)(-2 + 6)
2(-2)(4)
(-4)(4)
-16


2

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

77% Answer Correctly

a = π r2

a = π d2

a = π d

a = π r


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.


3

What is 9a5 - 2a5?

73% Answer Correctly
7a5
11
a510
7a10

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.

9a5 - 2a5 = 7a5


4

The dimensions of this cube are height (h) = 9, length (l) = 3, and width (w) = 2. What is the surface area?

51% Answer Correctly
102
208
52
110

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 2) + (2 x 2 x 9) + (2 x 3 x 9)
sa = (12) + (36) + (54)
sa = 102


5

If side a = 1, side b = 4, what is the length of the hypotenuse of this right triangle?

64% Answer Correctly
\( \sqrt{50} \)
\( \sqrt{52} \)
\( \sqrt{17} \)
\( \sqrt{61} \)

Solution

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

c2 = a2 + b2
c2 = 12 + 42
c2 = 1 + 16
c2 = 17
c = \( \sqrt{17} \)
