1

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

63% Answer Correctly
150π
45π
343π
128π

Solution

The volume of a cylinder is πr2h:

v = πr2h
v = π(72 x 7)
v = 343π


2

A(n) __________ is to a parallelogram as a square is to a rectangle.

52% Answer Correctly

triangle

quadrilateral

rhombus

trapezoid


Solution

A rhombus is a parallelogram with four equal-length sides. A square is a rectangle with four equal-length sides.


3

Which of the following statements about math operations is incorrect?

71% Answer Correctly

you can subtract monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent

you can add monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent

you can multiply monomials that have different variables and different exponents

all of these statements are correct


Solution

You can only add or subtract monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent. For example, 2a + 4a = 6a and 4a2 - a2 = 3a2 but 2a + 4b and 7a - 3b cannot be combined. However, you can multiply and divide monomials with unlike terms. For example, 2a x 6b = 12ab.


4

The formula for the area of a circle is which of the following?

24% Answer Correctly

c = π d2

c = π d

c = π r

c = π r2


Solution

The circumference of a circle is the distance around its perimeter and equals π (approx. 3.14159) x diameter: c = π d. The area of a circle is π x (radius)2 : a = π r2.


5

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

36% Answer Correctly

same-side interior angles are complementary and equal each other

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

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

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°).
