1

The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 7 and radius (r) = 5. What is the surface area?

48% Answer Correctly
130π
120π
42π
32π

Solution

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

sa = 2πr2 + 2πrh
sa = 2π(52) + 2π(5 x 7)
sa = 2π(25) + 2π(35)
sa = (2 x 25)π + (2 x 35)π
sa = 50π + 70π
sa = 120π


2

On this circle, a line segment connecting point A to point D is called:

46% Answer Correctly

radius

diameter

circumference

chord


Solution

A circle is a figure in which each point around its perimeter is an equal distance from the center. The radius of a circle is the distance between the center and any point along its perimeter. A chord is a line segment that connects any two points along its perimeter. The diameter of a circle is the length of a chord that passes through the center of the circle and equals twice the circle's radius (2r).


3

The formula for the area of a circle is which of the following?

78% Answer Correctly

a = π r2

a = π d

a = π d2

a = π r


Solution

The circumference of a circle is the distance around its perimeter and equals π (approx. 3.14159) x diameter: c = π d. The area of a circle is π x (radius)2 : a = π r2.


4

The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, -1) and (2, -5). What is the slope of this line?

46% Answer Correctly
-1
-\(\frac{1}{2}\)
1
-2\(\frac{1}{2}\)

Solution

The slope of this line is the change in y divided by the change in x. The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, -1) and (2, -5) so the slope becomes:

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(-5.0) - (-1.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{-4}{4} \)
m = -1


5

The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, 6) and (2, -2). What is the slope-intercept equation for this line?

41% Answer Correctly
y = -3x - 4
y = -2x - 4
y = x - 3
y = -2x + 2

Solution

The slope-intercept equation for a line is y = mx + b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept of the line. From the graph, you can see that the y-intercept (the y-value from the point where the line crosses the y-axis) is 2. The slope of this line is the change in y divided by the change in x. The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, 6) and (2, -2) so the slope becomes:

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(-2.0) - (6.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{-8}{4} \)
m = -2

Plugging these values into the slope-intercept equation:

y = -2x + 2
