Which of the following is not required to define the slope-intercept equation for a line?

42% Answer Correctly

slope

y-intercept

x-intercept

\({\Delta y \over \Delta x}\)


Solution

A line on the coordinate grid can be defined by a slope-intercept equation: y = mx + b. For a given value of x, the value of y can be determined given the slope (m) and y-intercept (b) of the line. The slope of a line is change in y over change in x, \({\Delta y \over \Delta x}\), and the y-intercept is the y-coordinate where the line crosses the vertical y-axis.

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

54% Answer Correctly

π r2h2

2(π r2) + 2π rh

4π r2

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.


3

Which types of triangles will always have at least two sides of equal length?

54% Answer Correctly

isosceles and right

equilateral and isosceles

equilateral and right

equilateral, isosceles and right


Solution

An isosceles triangle has two sides of equal length. An equilateral triangle has three sides of equal length. In a right triangle, two sides meet at a right angle.


4

The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 6 and radius (r) = 2. What is the surface area?

48% Answer Correctly
24π
32π
216π
56π

Solution

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

sa = 2πr2 + 2πrh
sa = 2π(22) + 2π(2 x 6)
sa = 2π(4) + 2π(12)
sa = (2 x 4)π + (2 x 12)π
sa = 8π + 24π
sa = 32π


5

If a = c = 3, b = d = 2, what is the area of this rectangle?

80% Answer Correctly
7
9
56
6

Solution

The area of a rectangle is equal to its length x width:

a = l x w
a = a x b
a = 3 x 2
a = 6
