1

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

53% Answer Correctly

π r2h2

4π r2

π r2h

2(π r2) + 2π rh


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.


2

If side a = 3, side b = 7, what is the length of the hypotenuse of this right triangle?

64% Answer Correctly
\( \sqrt{106} \)
\( \sqrt{58} \)
\( \sqrt{65} \)
\( \sqrt{5} \)

Solution

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

c2 = a2 + b2
c2 = 32 + 72
c2 = 9 + 49
c2 = 58
c = \( \sqrt{58} \)


3

Solve for z:
z2 - 49 = 0

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

Solution

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

z2 - 49 = 0
(z - 7)(z + 7) = 0

For this expression to be true, the left side of the expression must equal zero. Therefore, either (z - 7) or (z + 7) must equal zero:

If (z - 7) = 0, z must equal 7
If (z + 7) = 0, z must equal -7

So the solution is that z = 7 or -7


4

Which of the following statements about a triangle is not true?

57% Answer Correctly

exterior angle = sum of two adjacent interior angles

sum of interior angles = 180°

perimeter = sum of side lengths

area = ½bh


Solution

A triangle is a three-sided polygon. It has three interior angles that add up to 180° (a + b + c = 180°). An exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the two interior angles that are opposite (d = b + c). The perimeter of a triangle is equal to the sum of the lengths of its three sides, the height of a triangle is equal to the length from the base to the opposite vertex (angle) and the area equals one-half triangle base x height: a = ½ base x height.


5

On this circle, a line segment connecting point A to point D is called:

46% Answer Correctly

chord

radius

circumference

diameter


Solution

A circle is a figure in which each point around its perimeter is an equal distance from the center. The radius of a circle is the distance between the center and any point along its perimeter. A chord is a line segment that connects any two points along its perimeter. The diameter of a circle is the length of a chord that passes through the center of the circle and equals twice the circle's radius (2r).
