Solve for c:
-4c - 4 > \( \frac{c}{8} \)

44% Answer Correctly
c > \(\frac{9}{10}\)
c > -\(\frac{32}{33}\)
c > 7\(\frac{7}{8}\)
c > -\(\frac{1}{3}\)

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.

-4c - 4 > \( \frac{c}{8} \)
8 x (-4c - 4) > c
(8 x -4c) + (8 x -4) > c
-32c - 32 > c
-32c - 32 - c > 0
-32c - c > 32
-33c > 32
c > \( \frac{32}{-33} \)
c > -\(\frac{32}{33}\)

On this circle, line segment CD is the:

46% Answer Correctly

radius

circumference

diameter

chord


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).

The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 8 and radius (r) = 7. What is the surface area?

48% Answer Correctly
18π
210π
208π

Solution

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

sa = 2πr2 + 2πrh
sa = 2π(72) + 2π(7 x 8)
sa = 2π(49) + 2π(56)
sa = (2 x 49)π + (2 x 56)π
sa = 98π + 112π
sa = 210π


4

If the area of this square is 64, what is the length of one of the diagonals?

68% Answer Correctly
3\( \sqrt{2} \)
2\( \sqrt{2} \)
5\( \sqrt{2} \)
8\( \sqrt{2} \)

Solution

To find the diagonal we need to know the length of one of the square's sides. We know the area and the area of a square is the length of one side squared:

a = s2

so the length of one side of the square is:

s = \( \sqrt{a} \) = \( \sqrt{64} \) = 8

The Pythagorean theorem defines the square of the hypotenuse (diagonal) of a triangle with a right angle as the sum of the squares of the other two sides:

c2 = a2 + b2
c2 = 82 + 82
c2 = 128
c = \( \sqrt{128} \) = \( \sqrt{64 x 2} \) = \( \sqrt{64} \) \( \sqrt{2} \)
c = 8\( \sqrt{2} \)


5

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

54% Answer Correctly

π r2h2

4π r2

2(π r2) + 2π rh

π r2h


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.
