1

If side x = 11cm, side y = 9cm, and side z = 15cm what is the perimeter of this triangle?

85% Answer Correctly
35cm
28cm
26cm
29cm

Solution

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

p = x + y + z
p = 11cm + 9cm + 15cm = 35cm


2

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

h2 x l2 x w2

h x l x w

lw x wh + lh

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.


3

Which of the following statements about a triangle is not true?

58% Answer Correctly

sum of interior angles = 180°

perimeter = sum of side lengths

area = ½bh

exterior angle = sum of two adjacent interior angles


Solution

A triangle is a three-sided polygon. It has three interior angles that add up to 180° (a + b + c = 180°). An exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the two interior angles that are opposite (d = b + c). The perimeter of a triangle is equal to the sum of the lengths of its three sides, the height of a triangle is equal to the length from the base to the opposite vertex (angle) and the area equals one-half triangle base x height: a = ½ base x height.


4

What is 3a + 2a?

81% Answer Correctly
5a
6a
6a2
1

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.

3a + 2a = 5a


5

If a = 2, b = 7, c = 9, and d = 2, what is the perimeter of this quadrilateral?

88% Answer Correctly
24
20
15
21

Solution

Perimeter is equal to the sum of the four sides:

p = a + b + c + d
p = 2 + 7 + 9 + 2
p = 20
