If a = c = 4, b = d = 3, what is the area of this rectangle?
The area of a rectangle is equal to its length x width:
a = l x w
a = a x b
a = 4 x 3
a = 12
Which of the following is not a base unit in the metric system?
degree Fahrenheit
The Fahrenheit scale is used for measuring temperature in the British system. The metric system uses the Celsius scale.
The __________ is the greatest factor that divides two integers.
greatest common factor
The greatest common factor (GCF) is the greatest factor that divides two integers.
When all forces acting on a system cancel each other out, this is called:
equilibrium
When a system is stable or balanced (equilibrium) all forces acting on the system cancel each other out. In the case of torque, equilibrium means that the sum of the anticlockwise moments about a center of rotation equal the sum of the clockwise moments.
Bronchioles, alveolus, and capillaries are vital parts of which bodily system?
respiration
The trachea branches into the left and right bronchi which each lead to a lung where the bronchi subdivide into smaller tubes called bronchioles. Each bronchiole ends in a small sac called an alveolus which allows oxygen from the air to enter the bloodstream via tiny blood vessels called capillaries.
A __________ electric current produces a magnetic field proportional to the amount of current flow.
moving
A moving electric current produces a magnetic field proportional to the amount of current flow. This magnetic field can be made stronger by winding the wire into a coil and further enhanced if done around an iron containing (ferrous) core.
The gravitational interaction of Earth and the Moon is responsible for which of these?
tides
Tides are caused by the gravitational interaction of Earth and the Moon.
A triathlon course includes a 500m swim, a 30.8km bike ride, and a 8.100000000000001km run. What is the total length of the race course?
To add these distances, they must share the same unit so first you need to first convert the swim distance from meters (m) to kilometers (km) before adding it to the bike and run distances which are already in km. To convert 500 meters to kilometers, divide the distance by 1000 to get 0.5km then add the remaining distances:
total distance = swim + bike + run
total distance = 0.5km + 30.8km + 8.100000000000001km
total distance = 39.4km
