1

The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 9 and radius (r) = 7. What is the surface area?

48% Answer Correctly
42π
224π
144π
60π

Solution

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

sa = 2πr2 + 2πrh
sa = 2π(72) + 2π(7 x 9)
sa = 2π(49) + 2π(63)
sa = (2 x 49)π + (2 x 63)π
sa = 98π + 126π
sa = 224π


2

A cylinder with a radius (r) and a height (h) has a surface area of:

53% Answer Correctly

π r2h2

2(π r2) + 2π rh

4π r2

π r2h


Solution

A cylinder is a solid figure with straight parallel sides and a circular or oval cross section with a radius (r) and a height (h). The volume of a cylinder is π r2h and the surface area is 2(π r2) + 2π rh.


3

If side a = 9, side b = 3, what is the length of the hypotenuse of this right triangle?

64% Answer Correctly
\( \sqrt{90} \)
\( \sqrt{20} \)
\( \sqrt{97} \)
\( \sqrt{68} \)

Solution

According to the Pythagorean theorem, the hypotenuse squared is equal to the sum of the two perpendicular sides squared:

c2 = a2 + b2
c2 = 92 + 32
c2 = 81 + 9
c2 = 90
c = \( \sqrt{90} \)


4

If angle a = 34° and angle b = 38° what is the length of angle d?

56% Answer Correctly
138°
129°
146°
150°

Solution

An exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the two interior angles that are opposite:

d° = b° + c°

To find angle c, remember that the sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°:

180° = a° + b° + c°
c° = 180° - a° - b°
c° = 180° - 34° - 38° = 108°

So, d° = 38° + 108° = 146°

A shortcut to get this answer is to remember that angles around a line add up to 180°:

a° + d° = 180°
d° = 180° - a°
d° = 180° - 34° = 146°


5

The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, -4) and (2, 6). What is the slope-intercept equation for this line?

41% Answer Correctly
y = 2\(\frac{1}{2}\)x + 1
y = 1\(\frac{1}{2}\)x - 3
y = -\(\frac{1}{2}\)x + 4
y = x + 1

Solution

The slope-intercept equation for a line is y = mx + b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept of the line. From the graph, you can see that the y-intercept (the y-value from the point where the line crosses the y-axis) is 1. The slope of this line is the change in y divided by the change in x. The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, -4) and (2, 6) so the slope becomes:

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(6.0) - (-4.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{10}{4} \)
m = 2\(\frac{1}{2}\)

Plugging these values into the slope-intercept equation:

y = 2\(\frac{1}{2}\)x + 1
