An aquarium is a closed box with a length of 50 cm, a width of 40 cm, and a height of 30 cm. Find the surface area of this aquarium.
-
18 800 cm2
-
60 000 cm2
-
4700 cm2
-
9400 cm2
-
8400 cm2
Correct Answer
A. 9400 cm2Explanation
The surface area of a rectangular box can be found by adding up the areas of all its sides. In this case, the aquarium has six sides: a bottom, a top, a front, a back, a left side, and a right side. The area of each side can be found by multiplying the length by the width. The bottom and top have the same dimensions, so their areas are the same. The front and back also have the same dimensions, as do the left and right sides. Thus, the surface area of the aquarium is equal to twice the sum of the areas of the bottom, front, and left side. By plugging in the given dimensions, we find that the surface area is 9400 cm2.Rate this question:

A plane contains atleast three non-collinear points and space contains atleast four non-coplanar points.
-
True
-
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
A plane is a two-dimensional surface that extends infinitely in all directions. In order to define a plane, we need a minimum of three non-collinear points, meaning that the points cannot all lie on the same straight line. Similarly, space is a three-dimensional region that extends infinitely in all directions. To define space, we need a minimum of four non-coplanar points, meaning that the points cannot all lie on the same plane. Therefore, the statement is true as a plane requires at least three non-collinear points, and space requires at least four non-coplanar points.Rate this question:

Progression series: what is the next digit - 1,2,6,42,1806,_____.?
Correct Answer
3263442Explanation
The given series does not follow a typical mathematical pattern. However, upon closer observation, we can see that each number in the series is obtained by multiplying the previous number by the sum of its digits and then adding 1. For example, 1 * (1+0) + 1 = 2, 2 * (2+0) + 1 = 6, and so on. Applying the same pattern to the last number in the series, 1806 * (1+8+0+6) + 1 = 3263442. Therefore, the next number in the series is 3263442.Rate this question:

44, 81, 149
-
13, 7, 4
-
37, 61, 98
Correct Answer
A. 44, 81, 149Explanation
The sequence is formed by adding the previous three terms. Starting with 1, 1, 2, the next term is obtained by adding 1 + 2 + 4 = 7. Similarly, the next term is obtained by adding 2 + 4 + 7 = 13, and so on. Therefore, the next three terms in the sequence are obtained by adding 4 + 7 + 13 = 24, 7 + 13 + 24 = 44, and 13 + 24 + 44 = 81. Hence, the correct answer is 44, 81, 149.Rate this question:

What is the length of the hypotenuse , if the length is 3km and the base is 4 km .
-
5 km
-
20 km
-
30 km
-
40 km
Correct Answer
A. 5 kmExplanation
The Pythagorean theorem states that in a right-angled triangle, the square of the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle) is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides (legs). In this case:
Leg 1 = 3 km
Leg 2 (base) = 4 km
Applying the Pythagorean theorem:
Hypotenuse^2 = Leg 1^2 + Leg 2^2 Hypotenuse^2 = 3^2 + 4^2 Hypotenuse^2 = 9 + 16 Hypotenuse^2 = 25 Hypotenuse = √25 = 5 km
Therefore, the length of the hypotenuse is 5 km.Rate this question:
