1

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 r2h2

π r2h


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.


2

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

48% Answer Correctly
198π
16π
20π
168π

Solution

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

sa = 2πr2 + 2πrh
sa = 2π(92) + 2π(9 x 2)
sa = 2π(81) + 2π(18)
sa = (2 x 81)π + (2 x 18)π
sa = 162π + 36π
sa = 198π


3

The formula for the area of a circle is which of the following?

24% Answer Correctly

c = π r2

c = π d2

c = π r

c = π d


Solution

The circumference of a circle is the distance around its perimeter and equals π (approx. 3.14159) x diameter: c = π d. The area of a circle is π x (radius)2 : a = π r2.


4

Order the following types of angle from least number of degrees to most number of degrees.

75% Answer Correctly

right, acute, obtuse

acute, obtuse, right

right, obtuse, acute

acute, right, obtuse


Solution

An acute angle measures less than 90°, a right angle measures 90°, and an obtuse angle measures more than 90°.


5

Solve for c:
c2 - 6c - 27 = 0

58% Answer Correctly
-3 or 9
9 or -6
7 or -7
-4 or -9

Solution

The first step to solve a quadratic equation that's set to zero is to factor the quadratic equation:

c2 - 6c - 27 = 0
(c + 3)(c - 9) = 0

For this expression to be true, the left side of the expression must equal zero. Therefore, either (c + 3) or (c - 9) must equal zero:

If (c + 3) = 0, c must equal -3
If (c - 9) = 0, c must equal 9

So the solution is that c = -3 or 9
