1

The dimensions of this cube are height (h) = 6, length (l) = 9, and width (w) = 8. What is the volume?

83% Answer Correctly
280
432
210
2

Solution

The volume of a cube is height x length x width:

v = h x l x w
v = 6 x 9 x 8
v = 432


2

On this circle, a line segment connecting point A to point D is called:

46% Answer Correctly

circumference

diameter

radius

chord


Solution

A circle is a figure in which each point around its perimeter is an equal distance from the center. The radius of a circle is the distance between the center and any point along its perimeter. A chord is a line segment that connects any two points along its perimeter. The diameter of a circle is the length of a chord that passes through the center of the circle and equals twice the circle's radius (2r).

Which of the following is not required to define the slope-intercept equation for a line?

42% Answer Correctly

y-intercept

x-intercept

slope

\({\Delta y \over \Delta x}\)


Solution

A line on the coordinate grid can be defined by a slope-intercept equation: y = mx + b. For a given value of x, the value of y can be determined given the slope (m) and y-intercept (b) of the line. The slope of a line is change in y over change in x, \({\Delta y \over \Delta x}\), and the y-intercept is the y-coordinate where the line crosses the vertical y-axis.


4

For this diagram, the Pythagorean theorem states that b2 = ?

47% Answer Correctly

a2 - c2

c2 + a2

c - a

c2 - a2


Solution

The Pythagorean theorem defines the relationship between the side lengths of a right triangle. The length of the hypotenuse squared (c2) is equal to the sum of the two perpendicular sides squared (a2 + b2): c2 = a2 + b2 or, solved for c, \(c = \sqrt{a + b}\)


5

Which of the following statements about math operations is incorrect?

71% Answer Correctly

you can add monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent

you can subtract monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent

all of these statements are correct

you can multiply monomials that have different variables and different exponents


Solution

You can only add or subtract monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent. For example, 2a + 4a = 6a and 4a2 - a2 = 3a2 but 2a + 4b and 7a - 3b cannot be combined. However, you can multiply and divide monomials with unlike terms. For example, 2a x 6b = 12ab.
