The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 5 and radius (r) = 5. What is the surface area?

48% Answer Correctly
198π
16π
288π
100π

Solution

The surface area of a cylinder is 2πr2 + 2πrh:

sa = 2πr2 + 2πrh
sa = 2π(52) + 2π(5 x 5)
sa = 2π(25) + 2π(25)
sa = (2 x 25)π + (2 x 25)π
sa = 50π + 50π
sa = 100π


2

If AD = 16 and BD = 12, AB = ?

75% Answer Correctly
4
13
12
20

Solution

The entire length of this line is represented by AD which is AB + BD:

AD = AB + BD

Solving for AB:

AB = AD - BD
AB = 16 - 12
AB = 4


3

Factor y2 + y - 6

54% Answer Correctly
(y + 2)(y - 3)
(y - 2)(y + 3)
(y + 2)(y + 3)
(y - 2)(y - 3)

Solution

To factor a quadratic expression, apply the FOIL method (First, Outside, Inside, Last) in reverse. First, find the two Last terms that will multiply to produce -6 as well and sum (Inside, Outside) to equal 1. For this problem, those two numbers are -2 and 3. Then, plug these into a set of binomials using the square root of the First variable (y2):

y2 + y - 6
y2 + (-2 + 3)y + (-2 x 3)
(y - 2)(y + 3)


4

Which types of triangles will always have at least two sides of equal length?

54% Answer Correctly

isosceles and right

equilateral and isosceles

equilateral, isosceles and right

equilateral and right


Solution

An isosceles triangle has two sides of equal length. An equilateral triangle has three sides of equal length. In a right triangle, two sides meet at a right angle.


5

For this diagram, the Pythagorean theorem states that b2 = ?

47% Answer Correctly

c2 - a2

a2 - c2

c2 + a2

c - a


Solution

The Pythagorean theorem defines the relationship between the side lengths of a right triangle. The length of the hypotenuse squared (c2) is equal to the sum of the two perpendicular sides squared (a2 + b2): c2 = a2 + b2 or, solved for c, \(c = \sqrt{a + b}\)
