Solve 7c + 3c = 4c + 7y - 8 for c in terms of y.

35% Answer Correctly
-\(\frac{3}{4}\)y - \(\frac{1}{4}\)
5\(\frac{1}{2}\)y + 2\(\frac{1}{2}\)
1\(\frac{1}{3}\)y - 2\(\frac{2}{3}\)
-13y - 9

Solution

To solve this equation, isolate the variable for which you are solving (c) on one side of the equation and put everything else on the other side.

7c + 3y = 4c + 7y - 8
7c = 4c + 7y - 8 - 3y
7c - 4c = 7y - 8 - 3y
3c = 4y - 8
c = \( \frac{4y - 8}{3} \)
c = \( \frac{4y}{3} \) + \( \frac{-8}{3} \)
c = 1\(\frac{1}{3}\)y - 2\(\frac{2}{3}\)

If the area of this square is 1, what is the length of one of the diagonals?

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

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 = \( \sqrt{a} \) = \( \sqrt{1} \) = 1

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 = 12 + 12
c2 = 2
c = \( \sqrt{2} \)


3

Which of the following statements about a parallelogram is not true?

50% Answer Correctly

the area of a parallelogram is base x height

opposite sides and adjacent angles are equal

the perimeter of a parallelogram is the sum of the lengths of all sides

a parallelogram is a quadrilateral


Solution

A parallelogram is a quadrilateral with two sets of parallel sides. Opposite sides (a = c, b = d) and angles (red = red, blue = blue) are equal. The area of a parallelogram is base x height and the perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all sides (a + b + c + d).


4

On this circle, line segment AB is the:

71% Answer Correctly

circumference

diameter

radius

chord


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 dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 7 and radius (r) = 8. What is the surface area?

48% Answer Correctly
240π
16π
196π
272π

Solution

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

sa = 2πr2 + 2πrh
sa = 2π(82) + 2π(8 x 7)
sa = 2π(64) + 2π(56)
sa = (2 x 64)π + (2 x 56)π
sa = 128π + 112π
sa = 240π
