1

The dimensions of this cube are height (h) = 2, length (l) = 8, and width (w) = 3. What is the surface area?

51% Answer Correctly
106
174
148
92

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 8 x 3) + (2 x 3 x 2) + (2 x 8 x 2)
sa = (48) + (12) + (32)
sa = 92


2

If side x = 5cm, side y = 15cm, and side z = 14cm what is the perimeter of this triangle?

84% Answer Correctly
23cm
27cm
36cm
34cm

Solution

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

p = x + y + z
p = 5cm + 15cm + 14cm = 34cm


3

If the area of this square is 81, what is the length of one of the diagonals?

68% Answer Correctly
9\( \sqrt{2} \)
\( \sqrt{2} \)
8\( \sqrt{2} \)
4\( \sqrt{2} \)

Solution

To find the diagonal we need to know the length of one of the square's sides. We know the area and the area of a square is the length of one side squared:

a = s2

so the length of one side of the square is:

s = \( \sqrt{a} \) = \( \sqrt{81} \) = 9

The Pythagorean theorem defines the square of the hypotenuse (diagonal) of a triangle with a right angle as the sum of the squares of the other two sides:

c2 = a2 + b2
c2 = 92 + 92
c2 = 162
c = \( \sqrt{162} \) = \( \sqrt{81 x 2} \) = \( \sqrt{81} \) \( \sqrt{2} \)
c = 9\( \sqrt{2} \)


4

Solve for c:
8c + 8 > \( \frac{c}{1} \)

44% Answer Correctly
c > 1\(\frac{19}{35}\)
c > -\(\frac{8}{21}\)
c > -1\(\frac{1}{7}\)
c > -1\(\frac{14}{31}\)

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.

8c + 8 > \( \frac{c}{1} \)
1 x (8c + 8) > c
(1 x 8c) + (1 x 8) > c
8c + 8 > c
8c + 8 - c > 0
8c - c > -8
7c > -8
c > \( \frac{-8}{7} \)
c > -1\(\frac{1}{7}\)


5

The dimensions of this trapezoid are a = 5, b = 6, c = 6, d = 5, and h = 4. What is the area?

50% Answer Correctly
12
22
13\(\frac{1}{2}\)
19\(\frac{1}{2}\)

Solution

The area of a trapezoid is one-half the sum of the lengths of the parallel sides multiplied by the height:

a = ½(b + d)(h)
a = ½(6 + 5)(4)
a = ½(11)(4)
a = ½(44) = \( \frac{44}{2} \)
a = 22
