1

The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 2 and radius (r) = 6. What is the surface area?

48% Answer Correctly
168π
96π
140π
176π

Solution

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

sa = 2πr2 + 2πrh
sa = 2π(62) + 2π(6 x 2)
sa = 2π(36) + 2π(12)
sa = (2 x 36)π + (2 x 12)π
sa = 72π + 24π
sa = 96π


2

This diagram represents two parallel lines with a transversal. If d° = 163, what is the value of a°?

73% Answer Correctly
168
14
17
149

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 d° = 163, the value of a° is 17.

Solve for z:
-7z - 8 < \( \frac{z}{-5} \)

44% Answer Correctly
z < -\(\frac{7}{29}\)
z < -\(\frac{3}{7}\)
z < -1\(\frac{3}{17}\)
z < -2\(\frac{4}{25}\)

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.

-7z - 8 < \( \frac{z}{-5} \)
-5 x (-7z - 8) < z
(-5 x -7z) + (-5 x -8) < z
35z + 40 < z
35z + 40 - z < 0
35z - z < -40
34z < -40
z < \( \frac{-40}{34} \)
z < -1\(\frac{3}{17}\)


4

Which types of triangles will always have at least two sides of equal length?

53% Answer Correctly

equilateral, isosceles and right

equilateral and right

isosceles and right

equilateral and isosceles


Solution

An isosceles triangle has two sides of equal length. An equilateral triangle has three sides of equal length. In a right triangle, two sides meet at a right angle.


5

Solve for a:
3a - 6 > 4 - 5a

54% Answer Correctly
a > 1\(\frac{2}{3}\)
a > 1\(\frac{2}{7}\)
a > -\(\frac{1}{4}\)
a > 1\(\frac{1}{4}\)

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.

3a - 6 > 4 - 5a
3a > 4 - 5a + 6
3a + 5a > 4 + 6
8a > 10
a > \( \frac{10}{8} \)
a > 1\(\frac{1}{4}\)
