1

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

54% Answer Correctly

4π r2

π r2h

π r2h2

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 the base of this triangle is 4 and the height is 7, what is the area?

59% Answer Correctly
49\(\frac{1}{2}\)
56
42
14

Solution

The area of a triangle is equal to ½ base x height:

a = ½bh
a = ½ x 4 x 7 = \( \frac{28}{2} \) = 14


3

What is 4a + 2a?

81% Answer Correctly
8a2
8a
6a
6

Solution

To combine like terms, add or subtract the coefficients (the numbers that come before the variables) of terms that have the same variable raised to the same exponent.

4a + 2a = 6a


4

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

75% 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°.


5

Solve for z:
z2 + z - 32 = z + 4

49% Answer Correctly
8 or -3
-5 or -9
6 or 2
6 or -6

Solution

The first step to solve a quadratic expression that's not set to zero is to solve the equation so that it is set to zero:

z2 + z - 32 = z + 4
z2 + z - 32 - 4 = z
z2 + z - z - 36 = 0
z2 - 36 = 0

Next, factor the quadratic equation:

z2 - 36 = 0
(z - 6)(z + 6) = 0

For this expression to be true, the left side of the expression must equal zero. Therefore, either (z - 6) or (z + 6) must equal zero:

If (z - 6) = 0, z must equal 6
If (z + 6) = 0, z must equal -6

So the solution is that z = 6 or -6
