I have a hollow cube with 3” sides suspended inside a larger cube of 9” sides. If I fill the larger cube with water and the hollow cube remains empty yet suspended inside, what volume of water was used to fill the larger cube?
I have a hollow cube with 3” sides suspended inside a larger cube of 9” sides. If I fill the larger cube with water and the hollow cube remains empty yet suspended inside, what volume of water was used to fill the larger cube?
Tap to reveal answer
Determine the volume of both cubes and then subtract the smaller from the larger. The large cube volume is 9” * 9” * 9” = 729 in3 and the small cube is 3” * 3” * 3” = 27 in3. The difference is 702 in3.

A cube that has three times as long sides is 3x3x3=27 times bigger than the original. Therefore, the answer is 5x27= 135.

The volume of a cylinder is 36π. If the cylinder’s height is 4, what is the cylinder’s diameter?
Tap to reveal answer
Volume of a cylinder? V = πr2h. Rewritten as a diameter equation, this is:
V = π(d/2)2h = πd2h/4
Sub in h and V: 36p = πd2(4)/4 so 36p = πd2
Thus d = 6

A room has dimensions of 18ft by 15ft by 9ft. The last dimension is the height of the room. It has one door that is 3ft by 7ft and two windows, each 2ft by 5ft. There is no trim to the floor, wall, doors, or windows. What is the total exposed wall space?

Tap to reveal answer
If broken down into parts, this is an easy problem. It is first necessary to isolate the dimensions of the walls. If the room is 9 ft high, we know 18 x 15 designates the area of the floor and ceiling. Based on this, we know that the room has the following dimensions for the walls: 18 x 9 and 15 x 9. Since there are two of each, we can calculate the total area of walls - ignoring doors and windows - by doubling the sum of these two areas:
2 * (18 * 9 + 15 * 9) = 2 * (162 + 135) = 2 * 297 = 594 ft2
Now, we merely need to calculate the area "taken out" of the walls:
For the door: 3 * 7 = 21 ft2
For the windows: 2 * (2 * 5) = 20 ft2
The total wall space is therefore: 594 – 21 – 20 = 553 ft2

The coordinate length between you and your school is equivalent to the hypotenuse of a right triangle with sides of 3 and 4 units:
The distance is 5 coordinate lengths, and each coordinate length corresponds to 1.3 miles of distance, so

Billy set up a ramp for his toy cars. He did this by taking a wooden plank and putting one end on top of a brick that was 3 inches high. He then put the other end on top of a box that was 9 inches high. The bricks were 18 inches apart. What is the slope of the plank?

Tap to reveal answer
The value of the slope (m) is rise over run, and can be calculated with the formula below:
The coordinates of the first end of the plank would be (0,3), given that this is the starting point of the plank (so x would be 0), and y would be 3 since the brick is 3 inches tall.
The coordinates of the second end of the plank would be (18,9) since the plank is 18 inches long (so x would be 18) and y would be 9 since the box was 9 inches tall at the other end.
From this information we know that we can assign the following coordinates for the equation:
and 
Below is the solution we would get from plugging this information into the equation for slope:

Tap to reveal answer
To find the speed of the deer, you must have the distance traveled and the time.
The distance is found using the Pythagorean Theorem:
The answer must be in miles per hour so the total miles are divided by the hours to get the final answer:
