1

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

48% Answer Correctly
224π
12π
160π
16π

Solution

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

sa = 2πr2 + 2πrh
sa = 2π(22) + 2π(2 x 2)
sa = 2π(4) + 2π(4)
sa = (2 x 4)π + (2 x 4)π
sa = 8π + 8π
sa = 16π


2

Solve for x:
x + 3 < \( \frac{x}{-9} \)

44% Answer Correctly
x < 1\(\frac{1}{3}\)
x < -2\(\frac{7}{10}\)
x < -\(\frac{6}{7}\)
x < 2\(\frac{10}{13}\)

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.

x + 3 < \( \frac{x}{-9} \)
-9 x (x + 3) < x
(-9 x x) + (-9 x 3) < x
-9x - 27 < x
-9x - 27 - x < 0
-9x - x < 27
-10x < 27
x < \( \frac{27}{-10} \)
x < -2\(\frac{7}{10}\)


3

If side x = 14cm, side y = 5cm, and side z = 12cm what is the perimeter of this triangle?

84% Answer Correctly
16cm
26cm
31cm
33cm

Solution

The perimeter of a triangle is the sum of the lengths of its sides:

p = x + y + z
p = 14cm + 5cm + 12cm = 31cm


4

If the area of this square is 25, what is the length of one of the diagonals?

68% Answer Correctly
5\( \sqrt{2} \)
6\( \sqrt{2} \)
7\( \sqrt{2} \)
4\( \sqrt{2} \)

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 = \( \sqrt{a} \) = \( \sqrt{25} \) = 5

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 = 52 + 52
c2 = 50
c = \( \sqrt{50} \) = \( \sqrt{25 x 2} \) = \( \sqrt{25} \) \( \sqrt{2} \)
c = 5\( \sqrt{2} \)


5

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

53% Answer Correctly

2(π r2) + 2π rh

4π r2

π r2h

π r2h2


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.
