Question 1

What is the volume of a rectangular prism that is 4 cm long, 3 cm wide, and 5 cm tall?

Accepted Answer

60 cm³

Answer

Volume = length × width × height = 4 × 3 × 5 = 60 cm³.

Question 2

Two lines are parallel. A transversal crosses them, forming an angle of 65° with the first line. What is the measure of the corresponding angle with the second line?

Accepted Answer

65°

Answer

Corresponding angles formed by a transversal cutting parallel lines are congruent, so both measure 65°.

Question 3

A square has an area of 49 m². What is the length of one side?

Accepted Answer

7 m

Answer

Since area = side², the side length = √49 = 7 m.

Question 4

What is the circumference of a circle with a diameter of 10 cm? (Use π ≈ 3.14)

Accepted Answer

31.4 cm

Answer

Circumference = π × diameter = 3.14 × 10 = 31.4 cm.

Question 5

A polygon has interior angles that sum to 540°. How many sides does this polygon have?

Accepted Answer

5

Answer

The sum of interior angles = (n − 2) × 180°. Solving (n − 2) × 180 = 540 gives n = 5, a pentagon.
