1

A cylinder with a radius (r) and a height (h) has a surface area of:

53% Answer Correctly

π r2h

2(π r2) + 2π rh

4π r2

π r2h2


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

Solve for y:
2y - 4 = \( \frac{y}{9} \)

46% Answer Correctly
2\(\frac{2}{17}\)
\(\frac{8}{11}\)
1\(\frac{1}{9}\)
-\(\frac{12}{13}\)

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 equal sign and the answer on the other.

2y - 4 = \( \frac{y}{9} \)
9 x (2y - 4) = y
(9 x 2y) + (9 x -4) = y
18y - 36 = y
18y - 36 - y = 0
18y - y = 36
17y = 36
y = \( \frac{36}{17} \)
y = 2\(\frac{2}{17}\)


3

If a = 3, b = 3, c = 4, and d = 2, what is the perimeter of this quadrilateral?

88% Answer Correctly
12
24
18
16

Solution

Perimeter is equal to the sum of the four sides:

p = a + b + c + d
p = 3 + 3 + 4 + 2
p = 12


4

If AD = 28 and BD = 24, AB = ?

76% Answer Correctly
4
11
3
6

Solution

The entire length of this line is represented by AD which is AB + BD:

AD = AB + BD

Solving for AB:

AB = AD - BD
AB = 28 - 24
AB = 4


5

Solve for b:
b2 + 7b + 24 = -3b + 3

48% Answer Correctly
4 or 2
1 or -6
6 or 1
-3 or -7

Solution

The first step to solve a quadratic expression that's not set to zero is to solve the equation so that it is set to zero:

b2 + 7b + 24 = -3b + 3
b2 + 7b + 24 - 3 = -3b
b2 + 7b + 3b + 21 = 0
b2 + 10b + 21 = 0

Next, factor the quadratic equation:

b2 + 10b + 21 = 0
(b + 3)(b + 7) = 0

For this expression to be true, the left side of the expression must equal zero. Therefore, either (b + 3) or (b + 7) must equal zero:

If (b + 3) = 0, b must equal -3
If (b + 7) = 0, b must equal -7

So the solution is that b = -3 or -7
