1

If a = c = 3, b = d = 1, and the blue angle = 55°, what is the area of this parallelogram?

65% Answer Correctly
6
18
9
3

Solution

The area of a parallelogram is equal to its length x width:

a = l x w
a = a x b
a = 3 x 1
a = 3


2

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

53% Answer Correctly

2(π r2) + 2π rh

4π r2

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

The dimensions of this cube are height (h) = 4, length (l) = 4, and width (w) = 5. What is the volume?

82% Answer Correctly
54
80

Solution

The volume of a cube is height x length x width:

v = h x l x w
v = 4 x 4 x 5
v = 80


4

Find the value of b:
-b + z = 1
-5b - 5z = 2

42% Answer Correctly
-\(\frac{26}{35}\)
-\(\frac{7}{10}\)
\(\frac{2}{3}\)
-\(\frac{38}{43}\)

Solution

You need to find the value of b so solve the first equation in terms of z:

-b + z = 1
z = 1 + b

then substitute the result (1 - -1b) into the second equation:

-5b - 5(1 + b) = 2
-5b + (-5 x 1) + (-5 x b) = 2
-5b - 5 - 5b = 2
-5b - 5b = 2 + 5
-10b = 7
b = \( \frac{7}{-10} \)
b = -\(\frac{7}{10}\)


5

If the area of this square is 25, what is the length of one of the diagonals?

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

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 = \( \sqrt{a} \) = \( \sqrt{25} \) = 5

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 = 52 + 52
c2 = 50
c = \( \sqrt{50} \) = \( \sqrt{25 x 2} \) = \( \sqrt{25} \) \( \sqrt{2} \)
c = 5\( \sqrt{2} \)
