1

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

67% Answer Correctly

h x l x w

2lw x 2wh + 2lh

lw x wh + lh

h2 x l2 x w2


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 y:
-6y + 1 = -8 - 3y

59% Answer Correctly
3
-\(\frac{1}{3}\)
-2\(\frac{1}{4}\)
-\(\frac{1}{2}\)

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 equal sign and the answer on the other.

-6y + 1 = -8 - 3y
-6y = -8 - 3y - 1
-6y + 3y = -8 - 1
-3y = -9
y = \( \frac{-9}{-3} \)
y = 3


3

If the base of this triangle is 3 and the height is 5, what is the area?

58% Answer Correctly
7\(\frac{1}{2}\)
25
45
36

Solution

The area of a triangle is equal to ½ base x height:

a = ½bh
a = ½ x 3 x 5 = \( \frac{15}{2} \) = 7\(\frac{1}{2}\)


4

Which of the following expressions contains exactly two terms?

82% Answer Correctly

polynomial

binomial

quadratic

monomial


Solution

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


5

Which types of triangles will always have at least two sides of equal length?

54% Answer Correctly

isosceles and right

equilateral and isosceles

equilateral, isosceles and right

equilateral and right


Solution

An isosceles triangle has two sides of equal length. An equilateral triangle has three sides of equal length. In a right triangle, two sides meet at a right angle.
