1

Solve for c:
c2 - 5c + 6 = 0

57% Answer Correctly
2 or 3
-5 or -7
1 or -9
1 or -3

Solution

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

c2 - 5c + 6 = 0
(c - 2)(c - 3) = 0

For this expression to be true, the left side of the expression must equal zero. Therefore, either (c - 2) or (c - 3) must equal zero:

If (c - 2) = 0, c must equal 2
If (c - 3) = 0, c must equal 3

So the solution is that c = 2 or 3


2

A cylinder with a radius (r) and a height (h) has a surface area of:

52% Answer Correctly

π r2h

2(π r2) + 2π rh

4π r2

π r2h2


Solution

A cylinder is a solid figure with straight parallel sides and a circular or oval cross section with a radius (r) and a height (h). The volume of a cylinder is π r2h and the surface area is 2(π r2) + 2π rh.


3

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

74% Answer Correctly

right, acute, obtuse

acute, right, 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°.


4

If a = 4, b = 2, c = 2, and d = 9, what is the perimeter of this quadrilateral?

88% Answer Correctly
21
13
17
18

Solution

Perimeter is equal to the sum of the four sides:

p = a + b + c + d
p = 4 + 2 + 2 + 9
p = 17


5

Which of the following is not true about both rectangles and squares?

63% Answer Correctly

the perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all four sides

the area is length x width

the lengths of all sides are equal

all interior angles are right angles


Solution

A rectangle is a parallelogram containing four right angles. Opposite sides (a = c, b = d) are equal and the perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all sides (a + b + c + d) or, comonly, 2 x length x width. The area of a rectangle is length x width. A square is a rectangle with four equal length sides. The perimeter of a square is 4 x length of one side (4s) and the area is the length of one side squared (s2).
