1

The dimensions of this cube are height (h) = 8, length (l) = 3, and width (w) = 3. What is the volume?

83% Answer Correctly
120
144
72
210

Solution

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

v = h x l x w
v = 8 x 3 x 3
v = 72


2

Which of the following is not a part of PEMDAS, the acronym for math order of operations?

88% Answer Correctly

division

exponents

pairs

addition


Solution

When solving an equation with two variables, 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.)


3

If side a = 9, side b = 1, what is the length of the hypotenuse of this right triangle?

64% Answer Correctly
\( \sqrt{40} \)
\( \sqrt{82} \)
\( \sqrt{52} \)
\( \sqrt{73} \)

Solution

According to the Pythagorean theorem, the hypotenuse squared is equal to the sum of the two perpendicular sides squared:

c2 = a2 + b2
c2 = 92 + 12
c2 = 81 + 1
c2 = 82
c = \( \sqrt{82} \)


4

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

49% Answer Correctly

the area of a parallelogram is base x height

the perimeter of a parallelogram is the sum of the lengths of all sides

a parallelogram is a quadrilateral

opposite sides and adjacent angles are equal


Solution

A parallelogram is a quadrilateral with two sets of parallel sides. Opposite sides (a = c, b = d) and angles (red = red, blue = blue) are equal. The area of a parallelogram is base x height and the perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all sides (a + b + c + d).


5

Solve for a:
-4a + 4 > \( \frac{a}{-1} \)

44% Answer Correctly
a > 2\(\frac{1}{2}\)
a > 1\(\frac{1}{3}\)
a > -2\(\frac{1}{3}\)
a > \(\frac{9}{40}\)

Solution

To solve this equation, repeatedly do the same thing to both sides of the equation until the variable is isolated on one side of the > sign and the answer on the other.

-4a + 4 > \( \frac{a}{-1} \)
-1 x (-4a + 4) > a
(-1 x -4a) + (-1 x 4) > a
4a - 4 > a
4a - 4 - a > 0
4a - a > 4
3a > 4
a > \( \frac{4}{3} \)
a > 1\(\frac{1}{3}\)
