1

The dimensions of this cube are height (h) = 5, length (l) = 4, and width (w) = 3. What is the surface area?

51% Answer Correctly
48
68
94
320

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 3) + (2 x 3 x 5) + (2 x 4 x 5)
sa = (24) + (30) + (40)
sa = 94


2

If angle a = 59° and angle b = 66° what is the length of angle c?

71% Answer Correctly
123°
55°
133°
98°

Solution

The sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°:
180° = a° + b° + c°
c° = 180° - a° - b°
c° = 180° - 59° - 66° = 55°


3

Which of the following expressions contains exactly two terms?

83% Answer Correctly

polynomial

monomial

binomial

quadratic


Solution

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


4

Solve for x:
x2 + 12x + 35 = x + 5

49% Answer Correctly
-5 or -6
-2 or -5
9 or 1
9 or -8

Solution

The first step to solve a quadratic expression that's not set to zero is to solve the equation so that it is set to zero:

x2 + 12x + 35 = x + 5
x2 + 12x + 35 - 5 = x
x2 + 12x - x + 30 = 0
x2 + 11x + 30 = 0

Next, factor the quadratic equation:

x2 + 11x + 30 = 0
(x + 5)(x + 6) = 0

For this expression to be true, the left side of the expression must equal zero. Therefore, either (x + 5) or (x + 6) must equal zero:

If (x + 5) = 0, x must equal -5
If (x + 6) = 0, x must equal -6

So the solution is that x = -5 or -6


5

Solve for z:
z2 - 14z + 45 = 0

58% Answer Correctly
7 or -7
5 or 9
-3 or -8
-3 or -5

Solution

The first step to solve a quadratic equation that's set to zero is to factor the quadratic equation:

z2 - 14z + 45 = 0
(z - 5)(z - 9) = 0

For this expression to be true, the left side of the expression must equal zero. Therefore, either (z - 5) or (z - 9) must equal zero:

If (z - 5) = 0, z must equal 5
If (z - 9) = 0, z must equal 9

So the solution is that z = 5 or 9
