1

The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 8 and radius (r) = 1. What is the surface area?

48% Answer Correctly
240π
28π
60π
18π

Solution

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

sa = 2πr2 + 2πrh
sa = 2π(12) + 2π(1 x 8)
sa = 2π(1) + 2π(8)
sa = (2 x 1)π + (2 x 8)π
sa = 2π + 16π
sa = 18π


2

On this circle, line segment CD is the:

46% Answer Correctly

circumference

chord

diameter

radius


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).

If the area of this square is 25, what is the length of one of the diagonals?

68% Answer Correctly
2\( \sqrt{2} \)
5\( \sqrt{2} \)
4\( \sqrt{2} \)
\( \sqrt{2} \)

Solution

To find the diagonal we need to know the length of one of the square's sides. We know the area and the area of a square is the length of one side squared:

a = s2

so the length of one side of the square is:

s = \( \sqrt{a} \) = \( \sqrt{25} \) = 5

The Pythagorean theorem defines the square of the hypotenuse (diagonal) of a triangle with a right angle as the sum of the squares of the other two sides:

c2 = a2 + b2
c2 = 52 + 52
c2 = 50
c = \( \sqrt{50} \) = \( \sqrt{25 x 2} \) = \( \sqrt{25} \) \( \sqrt{2} \)
c = 5\( \sqrt{2} \)


4

Solve for a:
a2 - 9 = 0

58% Answer Correctly
-2 or -9
2 or -1
-2 or -4
3 or -3

Solution

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

a2 - 9 = 0
(a - 3)(a + 3) = 0

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

If (a - 3) = 0, a must equal 3
If (a + 3) = 0, a must equal -3

So the solution is that a = 3 or -3


5

If angle a = 58° and angle b = 27° what is the length of angle c?

71% Answer Correctly
62°
95°
60°
58°

Solution

The sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°:
180° = a° + b° + c°
c° = 180° - a° - b°
c° = 180° - 58° - 27° = 95°
