The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 4 and radius (r) = 7. What is the surface area?

48% Answer Correctly
154π
60π
66π
72π

Solution

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

sa = 2πr2 + 2πrh
sa = 2π(72) + 2π(7 x 4)
sa = 2π(49) + 2π(28)
sa = (2 x 49)π + (2 x 28)π
sa = 98π + 56π
sa = 154π


2

Solve for c:
c2 + 3c - 67 = 5c - 4

48% Answer Correctly
-4 or -7
-7 or 9
9 or 6
8 or 4

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:

c2 + 3c - 67 = 5c - 4
c2 + 3c - 67 + 4 = 5c
c2 + 3c - 5c - 63 = 0
c2 - 2c - 63 = 0

Next, factor the quadratic equation:

c2 - 2c - 63 = 0
(c + 7)(c - 9) = 0

For this expression to be true, the left side of the expression must equal zero. Therefore, either (c + 7) or (c - 9) must equal zero:

If (c + 7) = 0, c must equal -7
If (c - 9) = 0, c must equal 9

So the solution is that c = -7 or 9

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

57% Answer Correctly

exterior angle = sum of two adjacent interior angles

area = ½bh

perimeter = sum of side lengths

sum of interior angles = 180°


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.


4

Which of the following statements about math operations is incorrect?

70% Answer Correctly

you can multiply monomials that have different variables and different exponents

you can add monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent

you can subtract monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent

all of these statements are correct


Solution

You can only add or subtract monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent. For example, 2a + 4a = 6a and 4a2 - a2 = 3a2 but 2a + 4b and 7a - 3b cannot be combined. However, you can multiply and divide monomials with unlike terms. For example, 2a x 6b = 12ab.

If a = c = 8, b = d = 7, and the blue angle = 71°, what is the area of this parallelogram?

65% Answer Correctly
36
35
20
56

Solution

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

a = l x w
a = a x b
a = 8 x 7
a = 56
