1

The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 6 and radius (r) = 5. What is the surface area?

48% Answer Correctly
110π
208π
132π
272π

Solution

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

sa = 2πr2 + 2πrh
sa = 2π(52) + 2π(5 x 6)
sa = 2π(25) + 2π(30)
sa = (2 x 25)π + (2 x 30)π
sa = 50π + 60π
sa = 110π


2

If the area of this square is 4, what is the length of one of the diagonals?

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

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 = \( \sqrt{a} \) = \( \sqrt{4} \) = 2

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 = 22 + 22
c2 = 8
c = \( \sqrt{8} \) = \( \sqrt{4 x 2} \) = \( \sqrt{4} \) \( \sqrt{2} \)
c = 2\( \sqrt{2} \)


3

If side a = 9, side b = 2, what is the length of the hypotenuse of this right triangle?

64% Answer Correctly
\( \sqrt{85} \)
10
\( \sqrt{41} \)
\( \sqrt{74} \)

Solution

According to the Pythagorean theorem, the hypotenuse squared is equal to the sum of the two perpendicular sides squared:

c2 = a2 + b2
c2 = 92 + 22
c2 = 81 + 4
c2 = 85
c = \( \sqrt{85} \)


4

Solve for z:
-6z - 4 > \( \frac{z}{-4} \)

44% Answer Correctly
z > -1\(\frac{1}{20}\)
z > -\(\frac{16}{23}\)
z > 3\(\frac{1}{2}\)
z > \(\frac{16}{55}\)

Solution

To solve this equation, repeatedly do the same thing to both sides of the equation until the variable is isolated on one side of the > sign and the answer on the other.

-6z - 4 > \( \frac{z}{-4} \)
-4 x (-6z - 4) > z
(-4 x -6z) + (-4 x -4) > z
24z + 16 > z
24z + 16 - z > 0
24z - z > -16
23z > -16
z > \( \frac{-16}{23} \)
z > -\(\frac{16}{23}\)


5

What is 3a7 - 2a7?

73% Answer Correctly
1a7
5
6a14
1

Solution

To combine like terms, add or subtract the coefficients (the numbers that come before the variables) of terms that have the same variable raised to the same exponent.

3a7 - 2a7 = 1a7
