1

The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 1 and radius (r) = 3. What is the volume?

62% Answer Correctly
32π
64π
25π

Solution

The volume of a cylinder is πr2h:

v = πr2h
v = π(32 x 1)
v = 9π


2

Which types of triangles will always have at least two sides of equal length?

54% Answer Correctly

equilateral and right

equilateral and isosceles

equilateral, isosceles and right

isosceles and right


Solution

An isosceles triangle has two sides of equal length. An equilateral triangle has three sides of equal length. In a right triangle, two sides meet at a right angle.


3

If the area of this square is 64, what is the length of one of the diagonals?

68% Answer Correctly
2\( \sqrt{2} \)
9\( \sqrt{2} \)
8\( \sqrt{2} \)
7\( \sqrt{2} \)

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 = \( \sqrt{a} \) = \( \sqrt{64} \) = 8

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 = 82 + 82
c2 = 128
c = \( \sqrt{128} \) = \( \sqrt{64 x 2} \) = \( \sqrt{64} \) \( \sqrt{2} \)
c = 8\( \sqrt{2} \)


4

What is the area of a circle with a diameter of 8?

69% Answer Correctly
25π
49π
16π
81π

Solution

The formula for area is πr2. Radius is circle \( \frac{diameter}{2} \):

r = \( \frac{d}{2} \)
r = \( \frac{8}{2} \)
r = 4
a = πr2
a = π(42)
a = 16π


5

If side a = 9, side b = 7, what is the length of the hypotenuse of this right triangle?

64% Answer Correctly
\( \sqrt{85} \)
\( \sqrt{10} \)
\( \sqrt{130} \)
\( \sqrt{74} \)

Solution

According to the Pythagorean theorem, the hypotenuse squared is equal to the sum of the two perpendicular sides squared:

c2 = a2 + b2
c2 = 92 + 72
c2 = 81 + 49
c2 = 130
c = \( \sqrt{130} \)
