On average, one square inch of human skin contains 650 sweat glands. A certain area of skin contains 1,170 sweat glands. Based on this information, which of the following is closest to the size of this area, in square inches?
A) 0.44
B) 0.56
C) 0.80
D) 1.80
▶️ Answer/Explanation
Ans: D
Average sweat glands per square inch: 650.
Total sweat glands: 1,170.
Area: \( \frac{1,170}{650} \approx 1.8 \) square inches.
The figure below shows the lengths, in centimeters (cm), of the edges of a right rectangular prism. The volume \( V \) of a right rectangular prism is \( lwh \), where \( l \) is the length of the prism, \( w \) is the width of the prism, and \( h \) is the height of the prism. What is the volume, in cubic centimeters, of the prism?
A) 36
B) 24
C) 12
D) 11
▶️ Answer/Explanation
Ans: A
Length: 6 cm, Width: 2 cm, Height: 3 cm.
Volume: \( 6 \times 2 \times 3 = 36 \) cubic centimeters.
The figure below shows a right triangular prism with the dimensions of its edges in units.
What is the volume, in cubic units, of the right triangular prism shown?
A) 22
B) 60
C) 180
D) 360
▶️ Answer/Explanation
Ans: C
Base of triangle: 6 units, Height of triangle: 6 units, Height of prism: 10 units.
Area of triangular base: \( \frac{1}{2} \times 6 \times 6 = 18 \).
Volume: \( 18 \times 10 = 180 \) cubic units.
A triangle has a base length of 40 centimeters and a height of 90 centimeters. What is the area, in square centimeters, of the triangle?
A) 65
B) 900
C) 1800
D) 3600
▶️ Answer/Explanation
Ans: C
Base: 40 cm, Height: 90 cm.
Area: \( \frac{1}{2} \times 40 \times 90 = 1800 \, \text{cm}^2 \).
