1

The dimensions of this cube are height (h) = 1, length (l) = 3, and width (w) = 5. What is the volume?

83% Answer Correctly
15
112
567
63

Solution

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

v = h x l x w
v = 1 x 3 x 5
v = 15


2

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

68% Answer Correctly
9\( \sqrt{2} \)
2\( \sqrt{2} \)
8\( \sqrt{2} \)
\( \sqrt{2} \)

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 = \( \sqrt{2} \)


3

Which types of triangles will always have at least two sides of equal length?

54% Answer Correctly

equilateral and isosceles

equilateral and right

equilateral, isosceles and right

isosceles and right


Solution

An isosceles triangle has two sides of equal length. An equilateral triangle has three sides of equal length. In a right triangle, two sides meet at a right angle.


4

This diagram represents two parallel lines with a transversal. If x° = 148, what is the value of d°?

73% Answer Correctly
145
148
140
166

Solution

For parallel lines with a transversal, the following relationships apply:

  • angles in the same position on different parallel lines equal each other (a° = w°, b° = x°, c° = z°, d° = y°)
  • alternate interior angles are equal (a° = z°, b° = y°, c° = w°, d° = x°)
  • all acute angles (a° = c° = w° = z°) and all obtuse angles (b° = d° = x° = y°) equal each other
  • same-side interior angles are supplementary and add up to 180° (e.g. a° + d° = 180°, d° + c° = 180°)

Applying these relationships starting with x° = 148, the value of d° is 148.


5

If angle a = 34° and angle b = 33° what is the length of angle c?

71% Answer Correctly
113°
116°
91°
47°

Solution

The sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°:
180° = a° + b° + c°
c° = 180° - a° - b°
c° = 180° - 34° - 33° = 113°
