1

The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 1 and radius (r) = 2. What is the volume?

62% Answer Correctly
45π
25π
192π

Solution

The volume of a cylinder is πr2h:

v = πr2h
v = π(22 x 1)
v = 4π


2

Which of the following statements about math operations is incorrect?

71% Answer Correctly

you can subtract monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent

you can add monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent

all of these statements are correct

you can multiply monomials that have different variables and different exponents


Solution

You can only add or subtract monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent. For example, 2a + 4a = 6a and 4a2 - a2 = 3a2 but 2a + 4b and 7a - 3b cannot be combined. However, you can multiply and divide monomials with unlike terms. For example, 2a x 6b = 12ab.


3

Order the following types of angle from least number of degrees to most number of degrees.

75% Answer Correctly

acute, obtuse, right

right, obtuse, acute

acute, right, obtuse

right, acute, obtuse


Solution

An acute angle measures less than 90°, a right angle measures 90°, and an obtuse angle measures more than 90°.


4

Factor y2 - 10y + 24

54% Answer Correctly
(y - 6)(y - 4)
(y - 6)(y + 4)
(y + 6)(y - 4)
(y + 6)(y + 4)

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 24 as well and sum (Inside, Outside) to equal -10. For this problem, those two numbers are -6 and -4. Then, plug these into a set of binomials using the square root of the First variable (y2):

y2 - 10y + 24
y2 + (-6 - 4)y + (-6 x -4)
(y - 6)(y - 4)


5

If a = 1, b = 5, c = 2, and d = 8, what is the perimeter of this quadrilateral?

88% Answer Correctly
20
14
25
16

Solution

Perimeter is equal to the sum of the four sides:

p = a + b + c + d
p = 1 + 5 + 2 + 8
p = 16
