1

The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 7 and radius (r) = 1. What is the volume?

63% Answer Correctly
49π
72π
175π

Solution

The volume of a cylinder is πr2h:

v = πr2h
v = π(12 x 7)
v = 7π


2

If AD = 27 and BD = 17, AB = ?

76% Answer Correctly
2
5
3
10

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 = 27 - 17
AB = 10


3

If angle a = 51° and angle b = 63° what is the length of angle d?

56% Answer Correctly
153°
133°
129°
111°

Solution

An exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the two interior angles that are opposite:

d° = b° + c°

To find angle c, remember that the sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°:

180° = a° + b° + c°
c° = 180° - a° - b°
c° = 180° - 51° - 63° = 66°

So, d° = 63° + 66° = 129°

A shortcut to get this answer is to remember that angles around a line add up to 180°:

a° + d° = 180°
d° = 180° - a°
d° = 180° - 51° = 129°


4

Solve for z:
z2 + 13z + 36 = 0

58% Answer Correctly
-2 or -9
1 or -2
-4 or -9
-6 or -7

Solution

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

z2 + 13z + 36 = 0
(z + 4)(z + 9) = 0

For this expression to be true, the left side of the expression must equal zero. Therefore, either (z + 4) or (z + 9) must equal zero:

If (z + 4) = 0, z must equal -4
If (z + 9) = 0, z must equal -9

So the solution is that z = -4 or -9


5

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

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

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 = \( \sqrt{2} \)
