1

The dimensions of this cube are height (h) = 6, length (l) = 6, and width (w) = 2. What is the surface area?

51% Answer Correctly
180
120
38
158

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 6 x 2) + (2 x 2 x 6) + (2 x 6 x 6)
sa = (24) + (24) + (72)
sa = 120


2

A(n) __________ is to a parallelogram as a square is to a rectangle.

51% Answer Correctly

quadrilateral

rhombus

triangle

trapezoid


Solution

A rhombus is a parallelogram with four equal-length sides. A square is a rectangle with four equal-length sides.


3

Simplify 5a x 2b.

86% Answer Correctly
10a2b2
10\( \frac{a}{b} \)
10ab
10\( \frac{b}{a} \)

Solution

To multiply monomials, multiply the coefficients (the numbers that come before the variables) of each term, add the exponents of like variables, and multiply the different variables together.

5a x 2b = (5 x 2) (a x b) = 10ab


4

Which of the following is not true about both rectangles and squares?

63% Answer Correctly

the area is length x width

all interior angles are right angles

the perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all four sides

the lengths of all sides are equal


Solution

A rectangle is a parallelogram containing four right angles. Opposite sides (a = c, b = d) are equal and the perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all sides (a + b + c + d) or, comonly, 2 x length x width. The area of a rectangle is length x width. A square is a rectangle with four equal length sides. The perimeter of a square is 4 x length of one side (4s) and the area is the length of one side squared (s2).


5

The dimensions of this trapezoid are a = 5, b = 4, c = 7, d = 8, and h = 4. What is the area?

51% Answer Correctly
8
24
17\(\frac{1}{2}\)
22

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(4 + 8)(4)
a = ½(12)(4)
a = ½(48) = \( \frac{48}{2} \)
a = 24
