MCAS MCAS Mathematics 2 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: What is the slope of a line that passes through (0, 3) and (2, 7)?
- 1
- 2 (Correct answer)
- 3
- 4
Correct answer: 2
Slope = (7 − 3) / (2 − 0) = 4/2 = 2.
Question 2: A triangle has angles measuring 45° and 60°. What is the third angle?
- 65°
- 75° (Correct answer)
- 85°
- 95°
Correct answer: 75°
The sum of angles in a triangle is 180°; 180 − 45 − 60 = 75°.
Question 3: Which expression is equivalent to 4(x + 3)?
- 4x + 3
- 4x + 12 (Correct answer)
- x + 12
- 4x + 7
Correct answer: 4x + 12
Using the distributive property: 4(x + 3) = 4x + 12.
Question 4: What is the probability of rolling a 4 on a standard six-sided die?
- 1/4
- 1/5
- 1/6 (Correct answer)
- 1/3
Correct answer: 1/6
There is one '4' on a die with six sides, so the probability is 1/6.
Question 5: Which of the following is equivalent to √144?
- 11
- 12 (Correct answer)
- 13
- 14
Correct answer: 12
√144 = 12 because 12 × 12 = 144.
Question 6: What is the volume of a rectangular prism with length 4, width 3, and height 5?
- 24
- 47
- 60 (Correct answer)
- 12
Correct answer: 60
Volume = length × width × height = 4 × 3 × 5 = 60 cubic units.
