1

The dimensions of this cube are height (h) = 2, length (l) = 5, and width (w) = 1. What is the volume?

83% Answer Correctly
10
192
45
128

Solution

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

v = h x l x w
v = 2 x 5 x 1
v = 10


2

Breaking apart a quadratic expression into a pair of binomials is called:

75% Answer Correctly

factoring

deconstructing

squaring

normalizing


Solution

To factor a quadratic expression, apply the FOIL (First, Outside, Inside, Last) method in reverse.


3

The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 7 and radius (r) = 9. What is the surface area?

48% Answer Correctly
18π
288π
176π
198π

Solution

The surface area of a cylinder is 2πr2 + 2πrh:

sa = 2πr2 + 2πrh
sa = 2π(92) + 2π(9 x 7)
sa = 2π(81) + 2π(63)
sa = (2 x 81)π + (2 x 63)π
sa = 162π + 126π
sa = 288π


4

Solve for b:
b2 + 5b - 14 = 0

58% Answer Correctly
8 or 3
9 or 1
-5 or -8
2 or -7

Solution

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

b2 + 5b - 14 = 0
(b - 2)(b + 7) = 0

For this expression to be true, the left side of the expression must equal zero. Therefore, either (b - 2) or (b + 7) must equal zero:

If (b - 2) = 0, b must equal 2
If (b + 7) = 0, b must equal -7

So the solution is that b = 2 or -7


5

The dimensions of this trapezoid are a = 5, b = 6, c = 7, d = 5, and h = 4. What is the area?

51% Answer Correctly
18
27\(\frac{1}{2}\)
22
12

Solution

The area of a trapezoid is one-half the sum of the lengths of the parallel sides multiplied by the height:

a = ½(b + d)(h)
a = ½(6 + 5)(4)
a = ½(11)(4)
a = ½(44) = \( \frac{44}{2} \)
a = 22
