The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 8 and radius (r) = 5. What is the surface area?

48% Answer Correctly
130π
224π
64π
196π

Solution

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

sa = 2πr2 + 2πrh
sa = 2π(52) + 2π(5 x 8)
sa = 2π(25) + 2π(40)
sa = (2 x 25)π + (2 x 40)π
sa = 50π + 80π
sa = 130π


2

A right angle measures:

91% Answer Correctly

90°

360°

180°

45°


Solution

A right angle measures 90 degrees and is the intersection of two perpendicular lines. In diagrams, a right angle is indicated by a small box completing a square with the perpendicular lines.


3

Factor y2 + 2y - 48

54% Answer Correctly
(y + 6)(y + 8)
(y - 6)(y - 8)
(y - 6)(y + 8)
(y + 6)(y - 8)

Solution

To factor a quadratic expression, apply the FOIL method (First, Outside, Inside, Last) in reverse. First, find the two Last terms that will multiply to produce -48 as well and sum (Inside, Outside) to equal 2. For this problem, those two numbers are -6 and 8. Then, plug these into a set of binomials using the square root of the First variable (y2):

y2 + 2y - 48
y2 + (-6 + 8)y + (-6 x 8)
(y - 6)(y + 8)


4

If a = c = 9, b = d = 1, what is the area of this rectangle?

80% Answer Correctly
42
9
21
1

Solution

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

a = l x w
a = a x b
a = 9 x 1
a = 9


5

Which of the following is not true about both rectangles and squares?

63% Answer Correctly

the lengths of all sides are equal

all interior angles are right angles

the area is length x width

the perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all four sides


Solution

A rectangle is a parallelogram containing four right angles. Opposite sides (a = c, b = d) are equal and the perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all sides (a + b + c + d) or, comonly, 2 x length x width. The area of a rectangle is length x width. A square is a rectangle with four equal length sides. The perimeter of a square is 4 x length of one side (4s) and the area is the length of one side squared (s2).
