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

48% Answer Correctly
240π
84π
192π
224π

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


2

If BD = 9 and AD = 15, AB = ?

76% Answer Correctly
6
17
7
14

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 = 15 - 9
AB = 6


3

Solve for b:
6b - 6 < \( \frac{b}{-7} \)

44% Answer Correctly
b < 3\(\frac{1}{3}\)
b < \(\frac{42}{43}\)
b < -\(\frac{24}{49}\)
b < \(\frac{12}{23}\)

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.

6b - 6 < \( \frac{b}{-7} \)
-7 x (6b - 6) < b
(-7 x 6b) + (-7 x -6) < b
-42b + 42 < b
-42b + 42 - b < 0
-42b - b < -42
-43b < -42
b < \( \frac{-42}{-43} \)
b < \(\frac{42}{43}\)


4

When two lines intersect, adjacent angles are __________ (they add up to 180°) and angles across from either other are __________ (they're equal).

60% Answer Correctly

obtuse, acute

supplementary, vertical

vertical, supplementary

acute, obtuse


Solution

Angles around a line add up to 180°. Angles around a point add up to 360°. When two lines intersect, adjacent angles are supplementary (they add up to 180°) and angles across from either other are vertical (they're equal).


5

The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, 1) and (2, 5). What is the slope-intercept equation for this line?

41% Answer Correctly
y = -\(\frac{1}{2}\)x - 1
y = -\(\frac{1}{2}\)x + 1
y = 2x + 0
y = x + 3

Solution

The slope-intercept equation for a line is y = mx + b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept of the line. From the graph, you can see that the y-intercept (the y-value from the point where the line crosses the y-axis) is 3. The slope of this line is the change in y divided by the change in x. The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, 1) and (2, 5) so the slope becomes:

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(5.0) - (1.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{4}{4} \)
m = 1

Plugging these values into the slope-intercept equation:

y = x + 3
