The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 7 and radius (r) = 1. What is the surface area?

48% Answer Correctly
306π
132π
16π
198π

Solution

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

sa = 2πr2 + 2πrh
sa = 2π(12) + 2π(1 x 7)
sa = 2π(1) + 2π(7)
sa = (2 x 1)π + (2 x 7)π
sa = 2π + 14π
sa = 16π


2

If BD = 11 and AD = 15, AB = ?

76% Answer Correctly
11
8
4
6

Solution

The entire length of this line is represented by AD which is AB + BD:

AD = AB + BD

Solving for AB:

AB = AD - BD
AB = 15 - 11
AB = 4


3

What is 2a + 4a?

81% Answer Correctly
-2a2
6a2
6a
6

Solution

To combine like terms, add or subtract the coefficients (the numbers that come before the variables) of terms that have the same variable raised to the same exponent.

2a + 4a = 6a


4

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

58% Answer Correctly

exterior angle = sum of two adjacent interior angles

perimeter = sum of side lengths

sum of interior angles = 180°

area = ½bh


Solution

A triangle is a three-sided polygon. It has three interior angles that add up to 180° (a + b + c = 180°). An exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the two interior angles that are opposite (d = b + c). The perimeter of a triangle is equal to the sum of the lengths of its three sides, the height of a triangle is equal to the length from the base to the opposite vertex (angle) and the area equals one-half triangle base x height: a = ½ base x height.

Solve for y:
y2 + 4y - 44 = 5y - 2

49% Answer Correctly
1 or -1
-6 or 7
8 or 6
9 or 5

Solution

The first step to solve a quadratic expression that's not set to zero is to solve the equation so that it is set to zero:

y2 + 4y - 44 = 5y - 2
y2 + 4y - 44 + 2 = 5y
y2 + 4y - 5y - 42 = 0
y2 - y - 42 = 0

Next, factor the quadratic equation:

y2 - y - 42 = 0
(y + 6)(y - 7) = 0

For this expression to be true, the left side of the expression must equal zero. Therefore, either (y + 6) or (y - 7) must equal zero:

If (y + 6) = 0, y must equal -6
If (y - 7) = 0, y must equal 7

So the solution is that y = -6 or 7
