1

If angle a = 66° and angle b = 21° what is the length of angle c?

71% Answer Correctly
93°
99°
103°
68°

Solution

The sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°:
180° = a° + b° + c°
c° = 180° - a° - b°
c° = 180° - 66° - 21° = 93°


2

The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 2 and radius (r) = 2. What is the surface area?

48% Answer Correctly
176π
100π
16π
168π

Solution

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

sa = 2πr2 + 2πrh
sa = 2π(22) + 2π(2 x 2)
sa = 2π(4) + 2π(4)
sa = (2 x 4)π + (2 x 4)π
sa = 8π + 8π
sa = 16π


3

Solve for c:
c2 - c - 17 = 2c + 1

48% Answer Correctly
-3 or 6
6 or 3
6 or -8
4 or -8

Solution

The first step to solve a quadratic expression that's not set to zero is to solve the equation so that it is set to zero:

c2 - c - 17 = 2c + 1
c2 - c - 17 - 1 = 2c
c2 - c - 2c - 18 = 0
c2 - 3c - 18 = 0

Next, factor the quadratic equation:

c2 - 3c - 18 = 0
(c + 3)(c - 6) = 0

For this expression to be true, the left side of the expression must equal zero. Therefore, either (c + 3) or (c - 6) must equal zero:

If (c + 3) = 0, c must equal -3
If (c - 6) = 0, c must equal 6

So the solution is that c = -3 or 6


4

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

46% Answer Correctly

circumference

chord

diameter

radius


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).


5

Solve 3b - 5b = -b + 9x + 4 for b in terms of x.

34% Answer Correctly
10x - 7
3\(\frac{1}{2}\)x + 1
x + \(\frac{6}{11}\)
-\(\frac{2}{3}\)x - 1

Solution

To solve this equation, isolate the variable for which you are solving (b) on one side of the equation and put everything else on the other side.

3b - 5x = -b + 9x + 4
3b = -b + 9x + 4 + 5x
3b + b = 9x + 4 + 5x
4b = 14x + 4
b = \( \frac{14x + 4}{4} \)
b = \( \frac{14x}{4} \) + \( \frac{4}{4} \)
b = 3\(\frac{1}{2}\)x + 1
