1

The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 7 and radius (r) = 3. What is the surface area?

48% Answer Correctly
272π
18π
60π
36π

Solution

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

sa = 2πr2 + 2πrh
sa = 2π(32) + 2π(3 x 7)
sa = 2π(9) + 2π(21)
sa = (2 x 9)π + (2 x 21)π
sa = 18π + 42π
sa = 60π


2

This diagram represents two parallel lines with a transversal. If d° = 144, what is the value of w°?

73% Answer Correctly
36
150
161
20

Solution

For parallel lines with a transversal, the following relationships apply:

  • angles in the same position on different parallel lines equal each other (a° = w°, b° = x°, c° = z°, d° = y°)
  • alternate interior angles are equal (a° = z°, b° = y°, c° = w°, d° = x°)
  • all acute angles (a° = c° = w° = z°) and all obtuse angles (b° = d° = x° = y°) equal each other
  • same-side interior angles are supplementary and add up to 180° (e.g. a° + d° = 180°, d° + c° = 180°)

Applying these relationships starting with d° = 144, the value of w° is 36.


3

On this circle, a line segment connecting point A to point D is called:

46% Answer Correctly

circumference

diameter

chord

radius


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).


4

The formula for the area of a circle is which of the following?

78% Answer Correctly

a = π r

a = π d

a = π r2

a = π d2


Solution

The circumference of a circle is the distance around its perimeter and equals π (approx. 3.14159) x diameter: c = π d. The area of a circle is π x (radius)2 : a = π r2.


5

If side a = 9, side b = 5, what is the length of the hypotenuse of this right triangle?

64% Answer Correctly
\( \sqrt{50} \)
\( \sqrt{85} \)
\( \sqrt{106} \)
\( \sqrt{41} \)

Solution

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

c2 = a2 + b2
c2 = 92 + 52
c2 = 81 + 25
c2 = 106
c = \( \sqrt{106} \)
