2

What is 7a3 + 5a3?

75% Answer Correctly
12a6
12
a36
12a3

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.

7a3 + 5a3 = 12a3

The dimensions of this cube are height (h) = 9, length (l) = 1, and width (w) = 8. What is the surface area?

51% Answer Correctly
254
82
178
236

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 8) + (2 x 8 x 9) + (2 x 1 x 9)
sa = (16) + (144) + (18)
sa = 178


5

If side x = 14cm, side y = 9cm, and side z = 8cm what is the perimeter of this triangle?

85% Answer Correctly
32cm
29cm
24cm
31cm

Solution

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

p = x + y + z
p = 14cm + 9cm + 8cm = 31cm
