1

The dimensions of this cube are height (h) = 9, length (l) = 1, and width (w) = 4. What is the surface area?

51% Answer Correctly
184
98
162
38

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 1 x 4) + (2 x 4 x 9) + (2 x 1 x 9)
sa = (8) + (72) + (18)
sa = 98


2

Which of the following expressions contains exactly two terms?

82% Answer Correctly

polynomial

quadratic

monomial

binomial


Solution

A monomial contains one term, a binomial contains two terms, and a polynomial contains more than two terms.


3

If angle a = 56° and angle b = 24° what is the length of angle d?

56% Answer Correctly
124°
120°
125°
155°

Solution

An exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the two interior angles that are opposite:

d° = b° + c°

To find angle c, remember that the sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°:

180° = a° + b° + c°
c° = 180° - a° - b°
c° = 180° - 56° - 24° = 100°

So, d° = 24° + 100° = 124°

A shortcut to get this answer is to remember that angles around a line add up to 180°:

a° + d° = 180°
d° = 180° - a°
d° = 180° - 56° = 124°


4

What is 7a - 9a?

79% Answer Correctly
-2a
63a
63a2
16

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.

7a - 9a = -2a


5

Which of the following is not true about both rectangles and squares?

63% Answer Correctly

the area is length x width

the perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all four sides

all interior angles are right angles

the lengths of all sides are equal


Solution

A rectangle is a parallelogram containing four right angles. Opposite sides (a = c, b = d) are equal and the perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all sides (a + b + c + d) or, comonly, 2 x length x width. The area of a rectangle is length x width. A square is a rectangle with four equal length sides. The perimeter of a square is 4 x length of one side (4s) and the area is the length of one side squared (s2).
