1

The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 1 and radius (r) = 9. What is the surface area?

48% Answer Correctly
110π
180π
100π
224π

Solution

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

sa = 2πr2 + 2πrh
sa = 2π(92) + 2π(9 x 1)
sa = 2π(81) + 2π(9)
sa = (2 x 81)π + (2 x 9)π
sa = 162π + 18π
sa = 180π


2

Which of the following statements about parallel lines with a transversal is not correct?

36% Answer Correctly

all of the angles formed by a transversal are called interior angles

angles in the same position on different parallel lines are called corresponding angles

same-side interior angles are complementary and equal each other

all acute angles equal each other


Solution

Parallel lines are lines that share the same slope (steepness) and therefore never intersect. A transversal occurs when a set of parallel lines are crossed by another line. All of the angles formed by a transversal are called interior angles and angles in the same position on different parallel lines equal each other (a° = w°, b° = x°, c° = z°, d° = y°) and are called corresponding angles. Alternate interior angles are equal (a° = z°, b° = y°, c° = w°, d° = x°) and all acute angles (a° = c° = w° = z°) and all obtuse angles (b° = d° = x° = y°) equal each other. Same-side interior angles are supplementary and add up to 180° (e.g. a° + d° = 180°, d° + c° = 180°).


3

If the length of AB equals the length of BD, point B __________ this line segment.

45% Answer Correctly

midpoints

intersects

bisects

trisects


Solution

A line segment is a portion of a line with a measurable length. The midpoint of a line segment is the point exactly halfway between the endpoints. The midpoint bisects (cuts in half) the line segment.


4

If angle a = 51° and angle b = 68° what is the length of angle c?

70% Answer Correctly
61°
65°
83°
55°

Solution

The sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°:
180° = a° + b° + c°
c° = 180° - a° - b°
c° = 180° - 51° - 68° = 61°


5

Which of the following is not true about both rectangles and squares?

63% Answer Correctly

the lengths of all sides are equal

the perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all four sides

all interior angles are right angles

the area is length x width


Solution

A rectangle is a parallelogram containing four right angles. Opposite sides (a = c, b = d) are equal and the perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all sides (a + b + c + d) or, comonly, 2 x length x width. The area of a rectangle is length x width. A square is a rectangle with four equal length sides. The perimeter of a square is 4 x length of one side (4s) and the area is the length of one side squared (s2).
