1

The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 2 and radius (r) = 4. What is the volume?

62% Answer Correctly
320π
72π
32π
6π

Solution

The volume of a cylinder is πr2h:

v = πr2h
v = π(42 x 2)
v = 32π


2

The dimensions of this trapezoid are a = 6, b = 7, c = 7, d = 4, and h = 5. What is the area?

50% Answer Correctly
15
27\(\frac{1}{2}\)
35
20

Solution

The area of a trapezoid is one-half the sum of the lengths of the parallel sides multiplied by the height:

a = ½(b + d)(h)
a = ½(7 + 4)(5)
a = ½(11)(5)
a = ½(55) = \( \frac{55}{2} \)
a = 27\(\frac{1}{2}\)


3

If the area of this square is 81, what is the length of one of the diagonals?

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

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 = \( \sqrt{a} \) = \( \sqrt{81} \) = 9

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 = 92 + 92
c2 = 162
c = \( \sqrt{162} \) = \( \sqrt{81 x 2} \) = \( \sqrt{81} \) \( \sqrt{2} \)
c = 9\( \sqrt{2} \)


4

On this circle, a line segment connecting point A to point D is called:

46% Answer Correctly

radius

chord

diameter

circumference


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

Which of the following is not required to define the slope-intercept equation for a line?

42% Answer Correctly

\({\Delta y \over \Delta x}\)

y-intercept

slope

x-intercept


Solution

A line on the coordinate grid can be defined by a slope-intercept equation: y = mx + b. For a given value of x, the value of y can be determined given the slope (m) and y-intercept (b) of the line. The slope of a line is change in y over change in x, \({\Delta y \over \Delta x}\), and the y-intercept is the y-coordinate where the line crosses the vertical y-axis.
