1

The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 7 and radius (r) = 3. What is the volume?

62% Answer Correctly
63π
50π

Solution

The volume of a cylinder is πr2h:

v = πr2h
v = π(32 x 7)
v = 63π


2

The formula for the area of a circle is which of the following?

77% Answer Correctly

a = π r

a = π r2

a = π d

a = π d2


Solution

The circumference of a circle is the distance around its perimeter and equals π (approx. 3.14159) x diameter: c = π d. The area of a circle is π x (radius)2 : a = π r2.


3

Solve for x:
x2 + 17x + 72 = 0

58% Answer Correctly
1 or -3
9 or 2
4 or -7
-8 or -9

Solution

The first step to solve a quadratic equation that's set to zero is to factor the quadratic equation:

x2 + 17x + 72 = 0
(x + 8)(x + 9) = 0

For this expression to be true, the left side of the expression must equal zero. Therefore, either (x + 8) or (x + 9) must equal zero:

If (x + 8) = 0, x must equal -8
If (x + 9) = 0, x must equal -9

So the solution is that x = -8 or -9


4

The formula for the area of a circle is which of the following?

24% Answer Correctly

c = π d

c = π d2

c = π r

c = π r2


Solution

The circumference of a circle is the distance around its perimeter and equals π (approx. 3.14159) x diameter: c = π d. The area of a circle is π x (radius)2 : a = π r2.


5

If side a = 9, side b = 8, what is the length of the hypotenuse of this right triangle?

64% Answer Correctly
\( \sqrt{85} \)
\( \sqrt{145} \)
\( \sqrt{72} \)
\( \sqrt{10} \)

Solution

According to the Pythagorean theorem, the hypotenuse squared is equal to the sum of the two perpendicular sides squared:

c2 = a2 + b2
c2 = 92 + 82
c2 = 81 + 64
c2 = 145
c = \( \sqrt{145} \)
