1

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

52% Answer Correctly

4π r2

π r2h2

π r2h

2(π r2) + 2π rh


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.


2

Breaking apart a quadratic expression into a pair of binomials is called:

74% Answer Correctly

squaring

factoring

deconstructing

normalizing


Solution

To factor a quadratic expression, apply the FOIL (First, Outside, Inside, Last) method in reverse.


3

Solve for z:
5z + 2 < \( \frac{z}{7} \)

44% Answer Correctly
z < -\(\frac{7}{17}\)
z < -5
z < \(\frac{42}{55}\)
z < -\(\frac{3}{4}\)

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.

5z + 2 < \( \frac{z}{7} \)
7 x (5z + 2) < z
(7 x 5z) + (7 x 2) < z
35z + 14 < z
35z + 14 - z < 0
35z - z < -14
34z < -14
z < \( \frac{-14}{34} \)
z < -\(\frac{7}{17}\)


4

If the base of this triangle is 1 and the height is 1, what is the area?

58% Answer Correctly
98
38\(\frac{1}{2}\)
52\(\frac{1}{2}\)
\(\frac{1}{2}\)

Solution

The area of a triangle is equal to ½ base x height:

a = ½bh
a = ½ x 1 x 1 = \( \frac{1}{2} \) = \(\frac{1}{2}\)


5

If side a = 5, side b = 8, what is the length of the hypotenuse of this right triangle?

63% Answer Correctly
\( \sqrt{74} \)
\( \sqrt{50} \)
\( \sqrt{85} \)
\( \sqrt{89} \)

Solution

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

c2 = a2 + b2
c2 = 52 + 82
c2 = 25 + 64
c2 = 89
c = \( \sqrt{89} \)
