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

h2 x l2 x w2

h x l x w

2lw x 2wh + 2lh

lw x wh + lh


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

Simplify (7a)(5ab) - (8a2)(5b).

59% Answer Correctly
75a2b
-5a2b
156a2b
156ab2

Solution

To multiply monomials, multiply the coefficients (the numbers that come before the variables) of each term, add the exponents of like variables, and multiply the different variables together.

(7a)(5ab) - (8a2)(5b)
(7 x 5)(a x a x b) - (8 x 5)(a2 x b)
(35)(a1+1 x b) - (40)(a2b)
35a2b - 40a2b
-5a2b


3

Which of the following is not a part of PEMDAS, the acronym for math order of operations?

88% Answer Correctly

division

addition

pairs

exponents


Solution

When solving an equation with two variables, 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.)


4

Solve for c:
-4c - 3 > \( \frac{c}{8} \)

44% Answer Correctly
c > \(\frac{4}{5}\)
c > 1\(\frac{1}{5}\)
c > \(\frac{7}{10}\)
c > -\(\frac{8}{11}\)

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.

-4c - 3 > \( \frac{c}{8} \)
8 x (-4c - 3) > c
(8 x -4c) + (8 x -3) > c
-32c - 24 > c
-32c - 24 - c > 0
-32c - c > 24
-33c > 24
c > \( \frac{24}{-33} \)
c > -\(\frac{8}{11}\)


5

If the base of this triangle is 4 and the height is 4, what is the area?

58% Answer Correctly
84\(\frac{1}{2}\)
58\(\frac{1}{2}\)
8
49\(\frac{1}{2}\)

Solution

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

a = ½bh
a = ½ x 4 x 4 = \( \frac{16}{2} \) = 8
