1

The dimensions of this cube are height (h) = 7, length (l) = 7, and width (w) = 8. What is the surface area?

51% Answer Correctly
90
126
322
32

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 7 x 8) + (2 x 8 x 7) + (2 x 7 x 7)
sa = (112) + (112) + (98)
sa = 322


2

The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 4 and radius (r) = 5. What is the volume?

63% Answer Correctly
100π
648π
486π
576π

Solution

The volume of a cylinder is πr2h:

v = πr2h
v = π(52 x 4)
v = 100π


3

Which of the following statements about math operations is incorrect?

71% Answer Correctly

you can multiply monomials that have different variables and different exponents

you can add monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent

you can subtract monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent

all of these statements are correct


Solution

You can only add or subtract monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent. For example, 2a + 4a = 6a and 4a2 - a2 = 3a2 but 2a + 4b and 7a - 3b cannot be combined. However, you can multiply and divide monomials with unlike terms. For example, 2a x 6b = 12ab.

If the area of this square is 1, what is the length of one of the diagonals?

69% Answer Correctly
3\( \sqrt{2} \)
8\( \sqrt{2} \)
\( \sqrt{2} \)
7\( \sqrt{2} \)

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 = \( \sqrt{a} \) = \( \sqrt{1} \) = 1

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 = 12 + 12
c2 = 2
c = \( \sqrt{2} \)


5

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

58% Answer Correctly

area = ½bh

perimeter = sum of side lengths

sum of interior angles = 180°

exterior angle = sum of two adjacent interior angles


Solution

A triangle is a three-sided polygon. It has three interior angles that add up to 180° (a + b + c = 180°). An exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the two interior angles that are opposite (d = b + c). The perimeter of a triangle is equal to the sum of the lengths of its three sides, the height of a triangle is equal to the length from the base to the opposite vertex (angle) and the area equals one-half triangle base x height: a = ½ base x height.
