1

The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 1 and radius (r) = 5. What is the surface area?

48% Answer Correctly
288π
306π
60π
42π

Solution

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

sa = 2πr2 + 2πrh
sa = 2π(52) + 2π(5 x 1)
sa = 2π(25) + 2π(5)
sa = (2 x 25)π + (2 x 5)π
sa = 50π + 10π
sa = 60π


2

If the area of this square is 25, what is the length of one of the diagonals?

68% Answer Correctly
9\( \sqrt{2} \)
2\( \sqrt{2} \)
5\( \sqrt{2} \)
3\( \sqrt{2} \)

Solution

To find the diagonal we need to know the length of one of the square's sides. We know the area and the area of a square is the length of one side squared:

a = s2

so the length of one side of the square is:

s = \( \sqrt{a} \) = \( \sqrt{25} \) = 5

The Pythagorean theorem defines the square of the hypotenuse (diagonal) of a triangle with a right angle as the sum of the squares of the other two sides:

c2 = a2 + b2
c2 = 52 + 52
c2 = 50
c = \( \sqrt{50} \) = \( \sqrt{25 x 2} \) = \( \sqrt{25} \) \( \sqrt{2} \)
c = 5\( \sqrt{2} \)


3

Which of the following is not a part of PEMDAS, the acronym for math order of operations?

91% Answer Correctly

division

exponents

addition

pairs


Solution

When solving an equation with two variables, 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.)


4

Simplify 6a x 8b.

86% Answer Correctly
48ab
48\( \frac{b}{a} \)
48\( \frac{a}{b} \)
14ab

Solution

To multiply monomials, multiply the coefficients (the numbers that come before the variables) of each term, add the exponents of like variables, and multiply the different variables together.

6a x 8b = (6 x 8) (a x b) = 48ab


5

A(n) __________ is to a parallelogram as a square is to a rectangle.

52% Answer Correctly

rhombus

trapezoid

triangle

quadrilateral


Solution

A rhombus is a parallelogram with four equal-length sides. A square is a rectangle with four equal-length sides.
