1

The dimensions of this cube are height (h) = 2, length (l) = 7, and width (w) = 5. What is the surface area?

51% Answer Correctly
154
342
118
136

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 7 x 5) + (2 x 5 x 2) + (2 x 7 x 2)
sa = (70) + (20) + (28)
sa = 118

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

57% Answer Correctly

perimeter = sum of side lengths

area = ½bh

sum of interior angles = 180°

exterior angle = sum of two adjacent interior angles


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.


3

What is the area of a circle with a radius of 4?

69% Answer Correctly
16π

Solution

The formula for area is πr2:

a = πr2
a = π(42)
a = 16π


4

What is 7a + 4a?

81% Answer Correctly
28a
28a2
11a
3

Solution

To combine like terms, add or subtract the coefficients (the numbers that come before the variables) of terms that have the same variable raised to the same exponent.

7a + 4a = 11a


5

Which of the following is not a part of PEMDAS, the acronym for math order of operations?

88% Answer Correctly

addition

pairs

division

exponents


Solution

When solving an equation with two variables, replace the variables with the values given and then solve the now variable-free equation. (Remember order of operations, PEMDAS, Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication/Division, Addition/Subtraction.)
