1

The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 9 and radius (r) = 2. What is the volume?

63% Answer Correctly
48π
180π
567π
36π

Solution

The volume of a cylinder is πr2h:

v = πr2h
v = π(22 x 9)
v = 36π


2

The dimensions of this cube are height (h) = 4, length (l) = 6, and width (w) = 8. What is the surface area?

51% Answer Correctly
158
208
94
54

Solution

The surface area of a cube is (2 x length x width) + (2 x width x height) + (2 x length x height):

sa = 2lw + 2wh + 2lh
sa = (2 x 6 x 8) + (2 x 8 x 4) + (2 x 6 x 4)
sa = (96) + (64) + (48)
sa = 208


3

If a = -4 and z = 4, what is the value of 8a(a - z)?

69% Answer Correctly
0
-72
-5
256

Solution

To solve this equation, replace the variables with the values given and then solve the now variable-free equation. (Remember order of operations, PEMDAS, Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication/Division, Addition/Subtraction.)

8a(a - z)
8(-4)(-4 - 4)
8(-4)(-8)
(-32)(-8)
256


4

Factor y2 - 4y - 5

54% Answer Correctly
(y - 5)(y + 1)
(y + 5)(y + 1)
(y + 5)(y - 1)
(y - 5)(y - 1)

Solution

To factor a quadratic expression, apply the FOIL method (First, Outside, Inside, Last) in reverse. First, find the two Last terms that will multiply to produce -5 as well and sum (Inside, Outside) to equal -4. For this problem, those two numbers are -5 and 1. Then, plug these into a set of binomials using the square root of the First variable (y2):

y2 - 4y - 5
y2 + (-5 + 1)y + (-5 x 1)
(y - 5)(y + 1)


5

If a = c = 7, b = d = 9, what is the area of this rectangle?

80% Answer Correctly
6
18
8
63

Solution

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

a = l x w
a = a x b
a = 7 x 9
a = 63
