1

The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 7 and radius (r) = 4. What is the volume?

62% Answer Correctly
112π
64π

Solution

The volume of a cylinder is πr2h:

v = πr2h
v = π(42 x 7)
v = 112π


2

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

74% Answer Correctly

acute, right, obtuse

acute, obtuse, right

right, obtuse, acute

right, acute, obtuse


Solution

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


3

Solve -b + 6b = -7b - z - 4 for b in terms of z.

34% Answer Correctly
-1\(\frac{1}{6}\)z - \(\frac{2}{3}\)
\(\frac{5}{12}\)z - \(\frac{1}{2}\)
11z + 1
-4\(\frac{1}{2}\)z - 4\(\frac{1}{2}\)

Solution

To solve this equation, isolate the variable for which you are solving (b) on one side of the equation and put everything else on the other side.

-b + 6z = -7b - z - 4
-b = -7b - z - 4 - 6z
-b + 7b = -z - 4 - 6z
6b = -7z - 4
b = \( \frac{-7z - 4}{6} \)
b = \( \frac{-7z}{6} \) + \( \frac{-4}{6} \)
b = -1\(\frac{1}{6}\)z - \(\frac{2}{3}\)


4

Which of the following statements about a parallelogram is not true?

49% Answer Correctly

the area of a parallelogram is base x height

a parallelogram is a quadrilateral

opposite sides and adjacent angles are equal

the perimeter of a parallelogram is the sum of the lengths of all sides


Solution

A parallelogram is a quadrilateral with two sets of parallel sides. Opposite sides (a = c, b = d) and angles (red = red, blue = blue) are equal. The area of a parallelogram is base x height and the perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all sides (a + b + c + d).


5

If the area of this square is 9, what is the length of one of the diagonals?

68% Answer Correctly
\( \sqrt{2} \)
8\( \sqrt{2} \)
4\( \sqrt{2} \)
3\( \sqrt{2} \)

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 = \( \sqrt{a} \) = \( \sqrt{9} \) = 3

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 = 32 + 32
c2 = 18
c = \( \sqrt{18} \) = \( \sqrt{9 x 2} \) = \( \sqrt{9} \) \( \sqrt{2} \)
c = 3\( \sqrt{2} \)
