1

The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 4 and radius (r) = 8. What is the surface area?

48% Answer Correctly
96π
192π
28π
70π

Solution

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

sa = 2πr2 + 2πrh
sa = 2π(82) + 2π(8 x 4)
sa = 2π(64) + 2π(32)
sa = (2 x 64)π + (2 x 32)π
sa = 128π + 64π
sa = 192π


2

To multiply binomials, use the FOIL method. Which of the following is not a part of the FOIL method?

83% Answer Correctly

Inside

First

Odd

Last


Solution

To multiply binomials, use the FOIL method. FOIL stands for First, Outside, Inside, Last and refers to the position of each term in the parentheses.


3

If the base of this triangle is 7 and the height is 7, what is the area?

58% Answer Correctly
24\(\frac{1}{2}\)
82\(\frac{1}{2}\)
18
33

Solution

The area of a triangle is equal to ½ base x height:

a = ½bh
a = ½ x 7 x 7 = \( \frac{49}{2} \) = 24\(\frac{1}{2}\)


4

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

68% Answer Correctly
7\( \sqrt{2} \)
2\( \sqrt{2} \)
6\( \sqrt{2} \)
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 = \( \sqrt{a} \) = \( \sqrt{4} \) = 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\( \sqrt{2} \)


5

If a = 8, b = 7, c = 6, and d = 2, what is the perimeter of this quadrilateral?

88% Answer Correctly
23
30
18
16

Solution

Perimeter is equal to the sum of the four sides:

p = a + b + c + d
p = 8 + 7 + 6 + 2
p = 23
