1

The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 2 and radius (r) = 9. What is the volume?

62% Answer Correctly
162π
16π
32π
288π

Solution

The volume of a cylinder is πr2h:

v = πr2h
v = π(92 x 2)
v = 162π


2

If a = c = 1, b = d = 2, and the blue angle = 51°, what is the area of this parallelogram?

65% Answer Correctly
2
27
36
32

Solution

The area of a parallelogram is equal to its length x width:

a = l x w
a = a x b
a = 1 x 2
a = 2


3

If the area of this square is 4, what is the length of one of the diagonals?

68% Answer Correctly
8\( \sqrt{2} \)
7\( \sqrt{2} \)
2\( \sqrt{2} \)
\( \sqrt{2} \)

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 = \( \sqrt{a} \) = \( \sqrt{4} \) = 2

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 = 22 + 22
c2 = 8
c = \( \sqrt{8} \) = \( \sqrt{4 x 2} \) = \( \sqrt{4} \) \( \sqrt{2} \)
c = 2\( \sqrt{2} \)


4

Which of the following statements about a parallelogram is not true?

49% Answer Correctly

the perimeter of a parallelogram is the sum of the lengths of all sides

opposite sides and adjacent angles are equal

the area of a parallelogram is base x height

a parallelogram is a quadrilateral


Solution

A parallelogram is a quadrilateral with two sets of parallel sides. Opposite sides (a = c, b = d) and angles (red = red, blue = blue) are equal. The area of a parallelogram is base x height and the perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all sides (a + b + c + d).


5

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

88% Answer Correctly

division

pairs

exponents

addition


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.)
