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.


2

Solve for x:
6x + 1 < 2 - 7x

55% Answer Correctly
x < -1
x < -1\(\frac{1}{4}\)
x < \(\frac{1}{13}\)
x < -\(\frac{7}{9}\)

Solution

To solve this equation, repeatedly do the same thing to both sides of the equation until the variable is isolated on one side of the < sign and the answer on the other.

6x + 1 < 2 - 7x
6x < 2 - 7x - 1
6x + 7x < 2 - 1
13x < 1
x < \( \frac{1}{13} \)
x < \(\frac{1}{13}\)


3

Breaking apart a quadratic expression into a pair of binomials is called:

75% Answer Correctly

deconstructing

normalizing

squaring

factoring


Solution

To factor a quadratic expression, apply the FOIL (First, Outside, Inside, Last) method in reverse.


4

If angle a = 36° and angle b = 57° what is the length of angle d?

56% Answer Correctly
148°
144°
111°
153°

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° - 36° - 57° = 87°

So, d° = 57° + 87° = 144°

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° - 36° = 144°


5

If a = c = 5, b = d = 1, what is the area of this rectangle?

80% Answer Correctly
7
5
18
4

Solution

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

a = l x w
a = a x b
a = 5 x 1
a = 5
