1

Order the following types of angle from least number of degrees to most number of degrees.

74% Answer Correctly

acute, right, obtuse

right, acute, obtuse

right, obtuse, acute

acute, obtuse, right


Solution

An acute angle measures less than 90°, a right angle measures 90°, and an obtuse angle measures more than 90°.


2

The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 3 and radius (r) = 2. What is the surface area?

48% Answer Correctly
14π
80π
96π
20π

Solution

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

sa = 2πr2 + 2πrh
sa = 2π(22) + 2π(2 x 3)
sa = 2π(4) + 2π(6)
sa = (2 x 4)π + (2 x 6)π
sa = 8π + 12π
sa = 20π


3

Which of the following statements about math operations is incorrect?

70% Answer Correctly

all of these statements are correct

you can multiply monomials that have different variables and different exponents

you can add monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent

you can subtract monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent


Solution

You can only add or subtract monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent. For example, 2a + 4a = 6a and 4a2 - a2 = 3a2 but 2a + 4b and 7a - 3b cannot be combined. However, you can multiply and divide monomials with unlike terms. For example, 2a x 6b = 12ab.


4

Solve for c:
3c + 9 < \( \frac{c}{4} \)

44% Answer Correctly
c < -\(\frac{24}{35}\)
c < -3\(\frac{3}{11}\)
c < 2
c < 1\(\frac{7}{65}\)

Solution

To solve this equation, repeatedly do the same thing to both sides of the equation until the variable is isolated on one side of the < sign and the answer on the other.

3c + 9 < \( \frac{c}{4} \)
4 x (3c + 9) < c
(4 x 3c) + (4 x 9) < c
12c + 36 < c
12c + 36 - c < 0
12c - c < -36
11c < -36
c < \( \frac{-36}{11} \)
c < -3\(\frac{3}{11}\)


5

Solve 4b + 4b = -3b + 5x + 1 for b in terms of x.

34% Answer Correctly
6x - 1\(\frac{1}{2}\)
-\(\frac{7}{12}\)x - \(\frac{1}{2}\)
\(\frac{1}{7}\)x + \(\frac{1}{7}\)
-4\(\frac{1}{2}\)x - \(\frac{1}{2}\)

Solution

To solve this equation, isolate the variable for which you are solving (b) on one side of the equation and put everything else on the other side.

4b + 4x = -3b + 5x + 1
4b = -3b + 5x + 1 - 4x
4b + 3b = 5x + 1 - 4x
7b = x + 1
b = \( \frac{x + 1}{7} \)
b = \( \frac{x}{7} \) + \( \frac{1}{7} \)
b = \(\frac{1}{7}\)x + \(\frac{1}{7}\)
