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

h x l x w

h2 x l2 x w2

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.


2

A trapezoid is a quadrilateral with one set of __________ sides.

70% Answer Correctly

parallel

equal angle

right angle

equal length


Solution

A trapezoid is a quadrilateral with one set of parallel sides.


3

If a = 3, b = 8, c = 5, and d = 1, what is the perimeter of this quadrilateral?

88% Answer Correctly
18
17
23
13

Solution

Perimeter is equal to the sum of the four sides:

p = a + b + c + d
p = 3 + 8 + 5 + 1
p = 17


4

If c = -6 and y = -8, what is the value of -6c(c - y)?

68% Answer Correctly
24
72
-18
32

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.)

-6c(c - y)
-6(-6)(-6 + 8)
-6(-6)(2)
(36)(2)
72


5

Simplify (y - 9)(y + 2)

63% Answer Correctly
y2 + 11y + 18
y2 - 7y - 18
y2 + 7y - 18
y2 - 11y + 18

Solution

To multiply binomials, use the FOIL method. FOIL stands for First, Outside, Inside, Last and refers to the position of each term in the parentheses:

(y - 9)(y + 2)
(y x y) + (y x 2) + (-9 x y) + (-9 x 2)
y2 + 2y - 9y - 18
y2 - 7y - 18
