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

h2 x l2 x w2

lw x wh + lh

h x l x w

2lw x 2wh + 2lh


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

Solve for y:
y2 + 10y + 24 = 0

58% Answer Correctly
-4 or -6
5 or -1
9 or -5
7 or 7

Solution

The first step to solve a quadratic equation that's set to zero is to factor the quadratic equation:

y2 + 10y + 24 = 0
(y + 4)(y + 6) = 0

For this expression to be true, the left side of the expression must equal zero. Therefore, either (y + 4) or (y + 6) must equal zero:

If (y + 4) = 0, y must equal -4
If (y + 6) = 0, y must equal -6

So the solution is that y = -4 or -6


3

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

49% Answer Correctly

opposite sides and adjacent angles are equal

a parallelogram is a quadrilateral

the area of a parallelogram is base x height

the perimeter of a parallelogram is the sum of the lengths of all sides


Solution

A parallelogram is a quadrilateral with two sets of parallel sides. Opposite sides (a = c, b = d) and angles (red = red, blue = blue) are equal. The area of a parallelogram is base x height and the perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all sides (a + b + c + d).


4

To multiply binomials, use the FOIL method. Which of the following is not a part of the FOIL method?

83% Answer Correctly

Last

First

Inside

Odd


Solution

To multiply binomials, use the FOIL method. FOIL stands for First, Outside, Inside, Last and refers to the position of each term in the parentheses.


5

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

54% Answer Correctly

isosceles and right

equilateral, isosceles and right

equilateral and right

equilateral and isosceles


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.
