1

The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 8 and radius (r) = 3. What is the volume?

63% Answer Correctly
320π
72π
36π
294π

Solution

The volume of a cylinder is πr2h:

v = πr2h
v = π(32 x 8)
v = 72π


2

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

55% Answer Correctly

equilateral and right

isosceles and right

equilateral and isosceles

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.


3

Solve for a:
4a + 5 = \( \frac{a}{2} \)

46% Answer Correctly
-1\(\frac{3}{7}\)
-\(\frac{1}{2}\)
2\(\frac{7}{9}\)
\(\frac{16}{25}\)

Solution

To solve this equation, repeatedly do the same thing to both sides of the equation until the variable is isolated on one side of the equal sign and the answer on the other.

4a + 5 = \( \frac{a}{2} \)
2 x (4a + 5) = a
(2 x 4a) + (2 x 5) = a
8a + 10 = a
8a + 10 - a = 0
8a - a = -10
7a = -10
a = \( \frac{-10}{7} \)
a = -1\(\frac{3}{7}\)


4

If the base of this triangle is 2 and the height is 2, what is the area?

59% Answer Correctly
21
71\(\frac{1}{2}\)
2
44

Solution

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

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


5

When two lines intersect, adjacent angles are __________ (they add up to 180°) and angles across from either other are __________ (they're equal).

61% Answer Correctly

obtuse, acute

acute, obtuse

supplementary, vertical

vertical, supplementary


Solution

Angles around a line add up to 180°. Angles around a point add up to 360°. When two lines intersect, adjacent angles are supplementary (they add up to 180°) and angles across from either other are vertical (they're equal).
