1

The dimensions of this cube are height (h) = 7, length (l) = 1, and width (w) = 2. What is the volume?

82% Answer Correctly
192
14
18
96

Solution

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

v = h x l x w
v = 7 x 1 x 2
v = 14


2

Which of the following statements about parallel lines with a transversal is not correct?

36% Answer Correctly

all acute angles equal each other

all of the angles formed by a transversal are called interior angles

same-side interior angles are complementary and equal each other

angles in the same position on different parallel lines are called corresponding angles


Solution

Parallel lines are lines that share the same slope (steepness) and therefore never intersect. A transversal occurs when a set of parallel lines are crossed by another line. All of the angles formed by a transversal are called interior angles and angles in the same position on different parallel lines equal each other (a° = w°, b° = x°, c° = z°, d° = y°) and are called corresponding angles. Alternate interior angles are equal (a° = z°, b° = y°, c° = w°, d° = x°) and 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°).


3

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

68% Answer Correctly
3\( \sqrt{2} \)
\( \sqrt{2} \)
2\( \sqrt{2} \)
4\( \sqrt{2} \)

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 = \( \sqrt{2} \)


4

Solve for x:
x - 6 = 4 - 3x

58% Answer Correctly
2\(\frac{1}{2}\)
2\(\frac{1}{3}\)
1
\(\frac{3}{5}\)

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 equal sign and the answer on the other.

x - 6 = 4 - 3x
x = 4 - 3x + 6
x + 3x = 4 + 6
4x = 10
x = \( \frac{10}{4} \)
x = 2\(\frac{1}{2}\)


5

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

57% Answer Correctly

area = ½bh

sum of interior angles = 180°

exterior angle = sum of two adjacent interior angles

perimeter = sum of side lengths


Solution

A triangle is a three-sided polygon. It has three interior angles that add up to 180° (a + b + c = 180°). An exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the two interior angles that are opposite (d = b + c). The perimeter of a triangle is equal to the sum of the lengths of its three sides, the height of a triangle is equal to the length from the base to the opposite vertex (angle) and the area equals one-half triangle base x height: a = ½ base x height.
