1

The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 8 and radius (r) = 9. What is the surface area?

48% Answer Correctly
306π
28π
64π
44π

Solution

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

sa = 2πr2 + 2πrh
sa = 2π(92) + 2π(9 x 8)
sa = 2π(81) + 2π(72)
sa = (2 x 81)π + (2 x 72)π
sa = 162π + 144π
sa = 306π


2

What is 9a7 - 6a7?

73% Answer Correctly
54a7
3
3a7
15a14

Solution

To combine like terms, add or subtract the coefficients (the numbers that come before the variables) of terms that have the same variable raised to the same exponent.

9a7 - 6a7 = 3a7


3

If angle a = 60° and angle b = 29° what is the length of angle c?

71% Answer Correctly
110°
121°
129°
91°

Solution

The sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°:
180° = a° + b° + c°
c° = 180° - a° - b°
c° = 180° - 60° - 29° = 91°


4

When two lines intersect, adjacent angles are __________ (they add up to 180°) and angles across from either other are __________ (they're equal).

61% Answer Correctly

acute, obtuse

obtuse, acute

vertical, supplementary

supplementary, vertical


Solution

Angles around a line add up to 180°. Angles around a point add up to 360°. When two lines intersect, adjacent angles are supplementary (they add up to 180°) and angles across from either other are vertical (they're equal).


5

Factor y2 - 4y + 3

54% Answer Correctly
(y + 3)(y + 1)
(y - 3)(y - 1)
(y + 3)(y - 1)
(y - 3)(y + 1)

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 3 as well and sum (Inside, Outside) to equal -4. For this problem, those two numbers are -3 and -1. Then, plug these into a set of binomials using the square root of the First variable (y2):

y2 - 4y + 3
y2 + (-3 - 1)y + (-3 x -1)
(y - 3)(y - 1)
