1

The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 8 and radius (r) = 7. What is the surface area?

48% Answer Correctly
56π
16π
48π
210π

Solution

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

sa = 2πr2 + 2πrh
sa = 2π(72) + 2π(7 x 8)
sa = 2π(49) + 2π(56)
sa = (2 x 49)π + (2 x 56)π
sa = 98π + 112π
sa = 210π


2

On this circle, line segment AB is the:

71% Answer Correctly

radius

circumference

diameter

chord


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).


3

Solve for z:
4z + 4 < \( \frac{z}{8} \)

44% Answer Correctly
z < -10
z < \(\frac{9}{11}\)
z < \(\frac{1}{7}\)
z < -1\(\frac{1}{31}\)

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 < sign and the answer on the other.

4z + 4 < \( \frac{z}{8} \)
8 x (4z + 4) < z
(8 x 4z) + (8 x 4) < z
32z + 32 < z
32z + 32 - z < 0
32z - z < -32
31z < -32
z < \( \frac{-32}{31} \)
z < -1\(\frac{1}{31}\)


4

Which of the following is not true about both rectangles and squares?

63% Answer Correctly

the area is length x width

the perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all four sides

all interior angles are right angles

the lengths of all sides are equal


Solution

A rectangle is a parallelogram containing four right angles. Opposite sides (a = c, b = d) are equal and the perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all sides (a + b + c + d) or, comonly, 2 x length x width. The area of a rectangle is length x width. A square is a rectangle with four equal length sides. The perimeter of a square is 4 x length of one side (4s) and the area is the length of one side squared (s2).


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

vertical, supplementary

supplementary, vertical

acute, obtuse


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).
