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

lw x wh + lh

2lw x 2wh + 2lh

h2 x l2 x w2

h x l x w


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

If the base of this triangle is 4 and the height is 3, what is the area?

58% Answer Correctly
45\(\frac{1}{2}\)
6
48
35

Solution

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

a = ½bh
a = ½ x 4 x 3 = \( \frac{12}{2} \) = 6


3

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

47% Answer Correctly

c - a

c2 + a2

a2 - c2

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, \(c = \sqrt{a + b}\)


4

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

49% Answer Correctly

the area of a parallelogram is base x height

a parallelogram is a quadrilateral

opposite sides and adjacent angles are equal

the perimeter of a parallelogram is the sum of the lengths of all sides


Solution

A parallelogram is a quadrilateral with two sets of parallel sides. Opposite sides (a = c, b = d) and angles (red = red, blue = blue) are equal. The area of a parallelogram is base x height and the perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all sides (a + b + c + d).


5

Find the value of a:
a + z = -1
-5a - 6z = -9

42% Answer Correctly
1\(\frac{1}{9}\)
-15
2\(\frac{1}{5}\)
\(\frac{32}{67}\)

Solution

You need to find the value of a so solve the first equation in terms of z:

a + z = -1
z = -1 - a

then substitute the result (-1 - 1a) into the second equation:

-5a - 6(-1 - a) = -9
-5a + (-6 x -1) + (-6 x -a) = -9
-5a + 6 + 6a = -9
-5a + 6a = -9 - 6
a = -15
a = \( \frac{-15}{1} \)
a = -15
