1

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

47% Answer Correctly

c - a

a2 - c2

c2 - a2

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


2

If c = -5 and z = 2, what is the value of c(c - z)?

69% Answer Correctly
288
-99
-96
35

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.)

c(c - z)
1(-5)(-5 - 2)
1(-5)(-7)
(-5)(-7)
35


3

The formula for volume of a cube in terms of height (h), length (l), and width (w) is which of the following?

68% 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.


4

Which of the following expressions contains exactly two terms?

83% Answer Correctly

monomial

quadratic

binomial

polynomial


Solution

A monomial contains one term, a binomial contains two terms, and a polynomial contains more than two terms.


5

The dimensions of this cube are height (h) = 3, length (l) = 4, and width (w) = 4. What is the surface area?

51% Answer Correctly
108
280
80
254

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 4 x 4) + (2 x 4 x 3) + (2 x 4 x 3)
sa = (32) + (24) + (24)
sa = 80
