1

The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 3 and radius (r) = 7. What is the volume?

62% Answer Correctly
36π
147π
486π
80π

Solution

The volume of a cylinder is πr2h:

v = πr2h
v = π(72 x 3)
v = 147π


2

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

53% Answer Correctly

4π r2

2(π r2) + 2π rh

π r2h2

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.


3

Factor y2 + 8y + 15

54% Answer Correctly
(y + 3)(y - 5)
(y - 3)(y - 5)
(y + 3)(y + 5)
(y - 3)(y + 5)

Solution

To factor a quadratic expression, apply the FOIL method (First, Outside, Inside, Last) in reverse. First, find the two Last terms that will multiply to produce 15 as well and sum (Inside, Outside) to equal 8. For this problem, those two numbers are 3 and 5. Then, plug these into a set of binomials using the square root of the First variable (y2):

y2 + 8y + 15
y2 + (3 + 5)y + (3 x 5)
(y + 3)(y + 5)


4

If the base of this triangle is 9 and the height is 2, what is the area?

58% Answer Correctly
17\(\frac{1}{2}\)
9
35
49\(\frac{1}{2}\)

Solution

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

a = ½bh
a = ½ x 9 x 2 = \( \frac{18}{2} \) = 9


5

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

46% Answer Correctly
-2\(\frac{1}{2}\)
-3
-1
3

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
