1

The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 5 and radius (r) = 1. What is the volume?

62% Answer Correctly
28π
27π
81π

Solution

The volume of a cylinder is πr2h:

v = πr2h
v = π(12 x 5)
v = 5π


2

This diagram represents two parallel lines with a transversal. If a° = 13, what is the value of y°?

73% Answer Correctly
142
151
164
167

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 a° = 13, the value of y° is 167.


3

Simplify (y + 4)(y - 1)

64% Answer Correctly
y2 + 5y + 4
y2 - 5y + 4
y2 + 3y - 4
y2 - 3y - 4

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 + 4)(y - 1)
(y x y) + (y x -1) + (4 x y) + (4 x -1)
y2 - y + 4y - 4
y2 + 3y - 4

Solve for a:
-a - 3 > -1 - 5a

55% Answer Correctly
a > \(\frac{1}{2}\)
a > \(\frac{1}{3}\)
a > -\(\frac{4}{9}\)
a > -1\(\frac{1}{5}\)

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.

-a - 3 > -1 - 5a
-a > -1 - 5a + 3
-a + 5a > -1 + 3
4a > 2
a > \( \frac{2}{4} \)
a > \(\frac{1}{2}\)


5

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.
