1

The dimensions of this cube are height (h) = 8, length (l) = 2, and width (w) = 8. What is the surface area?

51% Answer Correctly
58
48
90
192

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 2 x 8) + (2 x 8 x 8) + (2 x 2 x 8)
sa = (32) + (128) + (32)
sa = 192


2

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

63% Answer Correctly
392π
64π
112π

Solution

The volume of a cylinder is πr2h:

v = πr2h
v = π(72 x 8)
v = 392π


3

What is the area of a circle with a radius of 4?

70% Answer Correctly
16π

Solution

The formula for area is πr2:

a = πr2
a = π(42)
a = 16π


4

If the area of this square is 9, what is the length of one of the diagonals?

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

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 = 32 + 32
c2 = 18
c = \( \sqrt{18} \) = \( \sqrt{9 x 2} \) = \( \sqrt{9} \) \( \sqrt{2} \)
c = 3\( \sqrt{2} \)


5

Which of the following statements about parallel lines with a transversal is not correct?

36% Answer Correctly

same-side interior angles are complementary and equal each other

all acute angles equal each other

angles in the same position on different parallel lines are called corresponding angles

all of the angles formed by a transversal are called interior angles


Solution

Parallel lines are lines that share the same slope (steepness) and therefore never intersect. A transversal occurs when a set of parallel lines are crossed by another line. All of the angles formed by a transversal are called interior angles and angles in the same position on different parallel lines equal each other (a° = w°, b° = x°, c° = z°, d° = y°) and are called corresponding angles. Alternate interior angles are equal (a° = z°, b° = y°, c° = w°, d° = x°) and 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°).
