1

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

54% Answer Correctly

π r2h2

2(π r2) + 2π rh

4π r2

π r2h


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

For this diagram, the Pythagorean theorem states that b2 = ?

47% Answer Correctly

a2 - c2

c2 + a2

c2 - a2

c - a


Solution

The Pythagorean theorem defines the relationship between the side lengths of a right triangle. The length of the hypotenuse squared (c2) is equal to the sum of the two perpendicular sides squared (a2 + b2): c2 = a2 + b2 or, solved for c, \(c = \sqrt{a + b}\)


3

If a = c = 1, b = d = 5, and the blue angle = 73°, what is the area of this parallelogram?

66% Answer Correctly
2
63
5
6

Solution

The area of a parallelogram is equal to its length x width:

a = l x w
a = a x b
a = 1 x 5
a = 5


4

The formula for the area of a circle is which of the following?

78% Answer Correctly

a = π r2

a = π d2

a = π d

a = π r


Solution

The circumference of a circle is the distance around its perimeter and equals π (approx. 3.14159) x diameter: c = π d. The area of a circle is π x (radius)2 : a = π r2.


5

If side a = 2, side b = 7, what is the length of the hypotenuse of this right triangle?

64% Answer Correctly
\( \sqrt{34} \)
\( \sqrt{90} \)
\( \sqrt{58} \)
\( \sqrt{53} \)

Solution

According to the Pythagorean theorem, the hypotenuse squared is equal to the sum of the two perpendicular sides squared:

c2 = a2 + b2
c2 = 22 + 72
c2 = 4 + 49
c2 = 53
c = \( \sqrt{53} \)
