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

lw x wh + lh

h2 x l2 x w2

2lw x 2wh + 2lh

h x l x w


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 angle a = 70° and angle b = 55° what is the length of angle d?

56% Answer Correctly
114°
157°
110°
148°

Solution

An exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the two interior angles that are opposite:

d° = b° + c°

To find angle c, remember that the sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°:

180° = a° + b° + c°
c° = 180° - a° - b°
c° = 180° - 70° - 55° = 55°

So, d° = 55° + 55° = 110°

A shortcut to get this answer is to remember that angles around a line add up to 180°:

a° + d° = 180°
d° = 180° - a°
d° = 180° - 70° = 110°


3

If a = c = 9, b = d = 10, and the blue angle = 64°, what is the area of this parallelogram?

65% Answer Correctly
63
90
81
36

Solution

The area of a parallelogram is equal to its length x width:

a = l x w
a = a x b
a = 9 x 10
a = 90


4

If angle a = 62° and angle b = 44° what is the length of angle c?

71% Answer Correctly
82°
95°
57°
74°

Solution

The sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°:
180° = a° + b° + c°
c° = 180° - a° - b°
c° = 180° - 62° - 44° = 74°


5

The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, 1) and (2, -9). What is the slope-intercept equation for this line?

41% Answer Correctly
y = 2\(\frac{1}{2}\)x + 0
y = -2\(\frac{1}{2}\)x - 4
y = 2\(\frac{1}{2}\)x + 3
y = -2\(\frac{1}{2}\)x + 3

Solution

The slope-intercept equation for a line is y = mx + b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept of the line. From the graph, you can see that the y-intercept (the y-value from the point where the line crosses the y-axis) is -4. The slope of this line is the change in y divided by the change in x. The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, 1) and (2, -9) so the slope becomes:

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(-9.0) - (1.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{-10}{4} \)
m = -2\(\frac{1}{2}\)

Plugging these values into the slope-intercept equation:

y = -2\(\frac{1}{2}\)x - 4
