The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 9 and radius (r) = 6. What is the surface area?

48% Answer Correctly
180π
90π
104π
40π

Solution

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

sa = 2πr2 + 2πrh
sa = 2π(62) + 2π(6 x 9)
sa = 2π(36) + 2π(54)
sa = (2 x 36)π + (2 x 54)π
sa = 72π + 108π
sa = 180π


2

Which of the following statements about math operations is incorrect?

71% Answer Correctly

all of these statements are correct

you can multiply monomials that have different variables and different exponents

you can add monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent

you can subtract monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent


Solution

You can only add or subtract monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent. For example, 2a + 4a = 6a and 4a2 - a2 = 3a2 but 2a + 4b and 7a - 3b cannot be combined. However, you can multiply and divide monomials with unlike terms. For example, 2a x 6b = 12ab.

Find the value of c:
4c + y = -5
-7c - 6y = 9

42% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{24}{31}\)
3
-1\(\frac{4}{17}\)
\(\frac{6}{11}\)

Solution

You need to find the value of c so solve the first equation in terms of y:

4c + y = -5
y = -5 - 4c

then substitute the result (-5 - 4c) into the second equation:

-7c - 6(-5 - 4c) = 9
-7c + (-6 x -5) + (-6 x -4c) = 9
-7c + 30 + 24c = 9
-7c + 24c = 9 - 30
17c = -21
c = \( \frac{-21}{17} \)
c = -1\(\frac{4}{17}\)


4

On this circle, a line segment connecting point A to point D is called:

46% Answer Correctly

radius

chord

circumference

diameter


Solution

A circle is a figure in which each point around its perimeter is an equal distance from the center. The radius of a circle is the distance between the center and any point along its perimeter. A chord is a line segment that connects any two points along its perimeter. The diameter of a circle is the length of a chord that passes through the center of the circle and equals twice the circle's radius (2r).


5

The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, -1) and (2, 9). What is the slope of this line?

46% Answer Correctly
-2\(\frac{1}{2}\)
2\(\frac{1}{2}\)
1
3

Solution

The slope of this line is the change in y divided by the change in x. The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, -1) and (2, 9) so the slope becomes:

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(9.0) - (-1.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{10}{4} \)
m = 2\(\frac{1}{2}\)
