1

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

54% Answer Correctly

2(π r2) + 2π rh

π r2h

4π r2

π r2h2


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

Solve for b:
b2 - 11b + 36 = b + 1

49% Answer Correctly
8 or -9
5 or 7
7 or -1
-3 or -9

Solution

The first step to solve a quadratic expression that's not set to zero is to solve the equation so that it is set to zero:

b2 - 11b + 36 = b + 1
b2 - 11b + 36 - 1 = b
b2 - 11b - b + 35 = 0
b2 - 12b + 35 = 0

Next, factor the quadratic equation:

b2 - 12b + 35 = 0
(b - 5)(b - 7) = 0

For this expression to be true, the left side of the expression must equal zero. Therefore, either (b - 5) or (b - 7) must equal zero:

If (b - 5) = 0, b must equal 5
If (b - 7) = 0, b must equal 7

So the solution is that b = 5 or 7


3

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

47% Answer Correctly

a2 - c2

c2 + a2

c - a

c2 - a2


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, \(c = \sqrt{a + b}\)


4

If a = 1, b = 5, c = 9, and d = 5, what is the perimeter of this quadrilateral?

88% Answer Correctly
16
27
20
13

Solution

Perimeter is equal to the sum of the four sides:

p = a + b + c + d
p = 1 + 5 + 9 + 5
p = 20


5

Which of the following is not a part of PEMDAS, the acronym for math order of operations?

91% Answer Correctly

division

addition

pairs

exponents


Solution

When solving an equation with two variables, replace the variables with the values given and then solve the now variable-free equation. (Remember order of operations, PEMDAS, Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication/Division, Addition/Subtraction.)
