1

The formula for volume of a cube in terms of height (h), length (l), and width (w) is which of the following?

67% Answer Correctly

h x l x w

h2 x l2 x w2

2lw x 2wh + 2lh

lw x wh + lh


Solution

A cube is a rectangular solid box with a height (h), length (l), and width (w). The volume is h x l x w and the surface area is 2lw x 2wh + 2lh.


2

If the base of this triangle is 6 and the height is 7, what is the area?

58% Answer Correctly
66
21
30
35

Solution

The area of a triangle is equal to ½ base x height:

a = ½bh
a = ½ x 6 x 7 = \( \frac{42}{2} \) = 21


3

When two lines intersect, adjacent angles are __________ (they add up to 180°) and angles across from either other are __________ (they're equal).

60% Answer Correctly

vertical, supplementary

acute, obtuse

supplementary, vertical

obtuse, acute


Solution

Angles around a line add up to 180°. Angles around a point add up to 360°. When two lines intersect, adjacent angles are supplementary (they add up to 180°) and angles across from either other are vertical (they're equal).


4

Factor y2 - 6y - 7

54% Answer Correctly
(y + 7)(y - 1)
(y + 7)(y + 1)
(y - 7)(y + 1)
(y - 7)(y - 1)

Solution

To factor a quadratic expression, apply the FOIL method (First, Outside, Inside, Last) in reverse. First, find the two Last terms that will multiply to produce -7 as well and sum (Inside, Outside) to equal -6. For this problem, those two numbers are -7 and 1. Then, plug these into a set of binomials using the square root of the First variable (y2):

y2 - 6y - 7
y2 + (-7 + 1)y + (-7 x 1)
(y - 7)(y + 1)


5

Simplify (8a)(7ab) - (7a2)(2b).

62% Answer Correctly
42a2b
-42ab2
70ab2
70a2b

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.

(8a)(7ab) - (7a2)(2b)
(8 x 7)(a x a x b) - (7 x 2)(a2 x b)
(56)(a1+1 x b) - (14)(a2b)
56a2b - 14a2b
42a2b
