1

The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 8 and radius (r) = 2. What is the surface area?

48% Answer Correctly
64π
120π
108π
40π

Solution

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

sa = 2πr2 + 2πrh
sa = 2π(22) + 2π(2 x 8)
sa = 2π(4) + 2π(16)
sa = (2 x 4)π + (2 x 16)π
sa = 8π + 32π
sa = 40π


2

If the area of this square is 16, what is the length of one of the diagonals?

68% Answer Correctly
5\( \sqrt{2} \)
4\( \sqrt{2} \)
6\( \sqrt{2} \)
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 = \( \sqrt{a} \) = \( \sqrt{16} \) = 4

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 = 42 + 42
c2 = 32
c = \( \sqrt{32} \) = \( \sqrt{16 x 2} \) = \( \sqrt{16} \) \( \sqrt{2} \)
c = 4\( \sqrt{2} \)


3

Which of the following expressions contains exactly two terms?

83% Answer Correctly

binomial

quadratic

polynomial

monomial


Solution

A monomial contains one term, a binomial contains two terms, and a polynomial contains more than two terms.


4

Solve -5c - 5c = 2c - 7y - 8 for c in terms of y.

34% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{2}{11}\)y - \(\frac{8}{11}\)
\(\frac{2}{7}\)y + 1\(\frac{1}{7}\)
6\(\frac{1}{2}\)y + 3\(\frac{1}{2}\)
y + 2\(\frac{1}{3}\)

Solution

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

-5c - 5y = 2c - 7y - 8
-5c = 2c - 7y - 8 + 5y
-5c - 2c = -7y - 8 + 5y
-7c = -2y - 8
c = \( \frac{-2y - 8}{-7} \)
c = \( \frac{-2y}{-7} \) + \( \frac{-8}{-7} \)
c = \(\frac{2}{7}\)y + 1\(\frac{1}{7}\)


5

If side a = 2, side b = 3, what is the length of the hypotenuse of this right triangle?

64% Answer Correctly
\( \sqrt{13} \)
\( \sqrt{61} \)
\( \sqrt{37} \)
\( \sqrt{98} \)

Solution

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

c2 = a2 + b2
c2 = 22 + 32
c2 = 4 + 9
c2 = 13
c = \( \sqrt{13} \)
