1

If a = 4 and x = -8, what is the value of -a(a - x)?

69% Answer Correctly
-504
-48
100
250

Solution

To solve this equation, 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.)

-a(a - x)
-1(4)(4 + 8)
-1(4)(12)
(-4)(12)
-48


2

The dimensions of this cube are height (h) = 2, length (l) = 6, and width (w) = 3. What is the volume?

83% Answer Correctly
80
63
144
36

Solution

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

v = h x l x w
v = 2 x 6 x 3
v = 36


3

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

42% Answer Correctly

slope

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

x-intercept

y-intercept


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

Which types of triangles will always have at least two sides of equal length?

54% Answer Correctly

equilateral and right

isosceles and right

equilateral, isosceles and right

equilateral and isosceles


Solution

An isosceles triangle has two sides of equal length. An equilateral triangle has three sides of equal length. In a right triangle, two sides meet at a right angle.


5

Order the following types of angle from least number of degrees to most number of degrees.

75% Answer Correctly

acute, right, obtuse

acute, obtuse, right

right, obtuse, acute

right, acute, obtuse


Solution

An acute angle measures less than 90°, a right angle measures 90°, and an obtuse angle measures more than 90°.
