1

The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 9 and radius (r) = 7. What is the surface area?

48% Answer Correctly
48π
324π
224π
216π

Solution

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

sa = 2πr2 + 2πrh
sa = 2π(72) + 2π(7 x 9)
sa = 2π(49) + 2π(63)
sa = (2 x 49)π + (2 x 63)π
sa = 98π + 126π
sa = 224π


2

Which of the following expressions contains exactly two terms?

82% Answer Correctly

quadratic

polynomial

monomial

binomial


Solution

A monomial contains one term, a binomial contains two terms, and a polynomial contains more than two terms.


3

Solve for z:
8z - 5 > \( \frac{z}{-9} \)

44% Answer Correctly
z > \(\frac{1}{2}\)
z > 1\(\frac{1}{7}\)
z > \(\frac{45}{73}\)
z > -\(\frac{10}{31}\)

Solution

To solve this equation, repeatedly do the same thing to both sides of the equation until the variable is isolated on one side of the > sign and the answer on the other.

8z - 5 > \( \frac{z}{-9} \)
-9 x (8z - 5) > z
(-9 x 8z) + (-9 x -5) > z
-72z + 45 > z
-72z + 45 - z > 0
-72z - z > -45
-73z > -45
z > \( \frac{-45}{-73} \)
z > \(\frac{45}{73}\)


4

The dimensions of this trapezoid are a = 5, b = 3, c = 8, d = 5, and h = 4. What is the area?

50% Answer Correctly
20
16
11
9

Solution

The area of a trapezoid is one-half the sum of the lengths of the parallel sides multiplied by the height:

a = ½(b + d)(h)
a = ½(3 + 5)(4)
a = ½(8)(4)
a = ½(32) = \( \frac{32}{2} \)
a = 16


5

If the area of this square is 49, what is the length of one of the diagonals?

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

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 = \( \sqrt{a} \) = \( \sqrt{49} \) = 7

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 = 72 + 72
c2 = 98
c = \( \sqrt{98} \) = \( \sqrt{49 x 2} \) = \( \sqrt{49} \) \( \sqrt{2} \)
c = 7\( \sqrt{2} \)
