1

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

53% Answer Correctly

π r2h2

4π r2

2(π r2) + 2π rh

π r2h


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

A(n) __________ is to a parallelogram as a square is to a rectangle.

51% Answer Correctly

trapezoid

rhombus

triangle

quadrilateral


Solution

A rhombus is a parallelogram with four equal-length sides. A square is a rectangle with four equal-length sides.


3

Solve for y:
y2 - 5y + 4 = 0

58% Answer Correctly
2 or 1
7 or 2
5 or -4
1 or 4

Solution

The first step to solve a quadratic equation that's set to zero is to factor the quadratic equation:

y2 - 5y + 4 = 0
(y - 1)(y - 4) = 0

For this expression to be true, the left side of the expression must equal zero. Therefore, either (y - 1) or (y - 4) must equal zero:

If (y - 1) = 0, y must equal 1
If (y - 4) = 0, y must equal 4

So the solution is that y = 1 or 4


4

The dimensions of this trapezoid are a = 4, b = 9, c = 7, d = 5, and h = 3. What is the area?

51% Answer Correctly
24
19\(\frac{1}{2}\)
21
22\(\frac{1}{2}\)

Solution

The area of a trapezoid is one-half the sum of the lengths of the parallel sides multiplied by the height:

a = ½(b + d)(h)
a = ½(9 + 5)(3)
a = ½(14)(3)
a = ½(42) = \( \frac{42}{2} \)
a = 21


5

What is the circumference of a circle with a radius of 18?

71% Answer Correctly
36π
28π
10π

Solution

The formula for circumference is circle diameter x π. Circle diameter is 2 x radius:

c = πd
c = π(2 * r)
c = π(2 * 18)
c = 36π
