1

The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 6 and radius (r) = 6. What is the volume?

63% Answer Correctly
200π
216π
75π

Solution

The volume of a cylinder is πr2h:

v = πr2h
v = π(62 x 6)
v = 216π


2

The dimensions of this trapezoid are a = 6, b = 4, c = 7, d = 8, and h = 5. What is the area?

51% Answer Correctly
10\(\frac{1}{2}\)
35
30
13

Solution

The area of a trapezoid is one-half the sum of the lengths of the parallel sides multiplied by the height:

a = ½(b + d)(h)
a = ½(4 + 8)(5)
a = ½(12)(5)
a = ½(60) = \( \frac{60}{2} \)
a = 30


3

A right angle measures:

91% Answer Correctly

360°

180°

45°

90°


Solution

A right angle measures 90 degrees and is the intersection of two perpendicular lines. In diagrams, a right angle is indicated by a small box completing a square with the perpendicular lines.


4

Simplify (y - 7)(y + 1)

64% Answer Correctly
y2 + 6y - 7
y2 - 8y + 7
y2 + 8y + 7
y2 - 6y - 7

Solution

To multiply binomials, use the FOIL method. FOIL stands for First, Outside, Inside, Last and refers to the position of each term in the parentheses:

(y - 7)(y + 1)
(y x y) + (y x 1) + (-7 x y) + (-7 x 1)
y2 + y - 7y - 7
y2 - 6y - 7


5

This diagram represents two parallel lines with a transversal. If y° = 152, what is the value of c°?

73% Answer Correctly
19
160
28
13

Solution

For parallel lines with a transversal, the following relationships apply:

  • angles in the same position on different parallel lines equal each other (a° = w°, b° = x°, c° = z°, d° = y°)
  • alternate interior angles are equal (a° = z°, b° = y°, c° = w°, d° = x°)
  • all acute angles (a° = c° = w° = z°) and all obtuse angles (b° = d° = x° = y°) equal each other
  • same-side interior angles are supplementary and add up to 180° (e.g. a° + d° = 180°, d° + c° = 180°)

Applying these relationships starting with y° = 152, the value of c° is 28.
