1

If the base of this triangle is 9 and the height is 8, what is the area?

58% Answer Correctly
27
20
30
36

Solution

The area of a triangle is equal to ½ base x height:

a = ½bh
a = ½ x 9 x 8 = \( \frac{72}{2} \) = 36


2

The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 8 and radius (r) = 9. What is the volume?

62% Answer Correctly
252π
648π
50π
216π

Solution

The volume of a cylinder is πr2h:

v = πr2h
v = π(92 x 8)
v = 648π


3

Simplify (y - 7)(y + 9)

62% Answer Correctly
y2 + 2y - 63
y2 - 2y - 63
y2 + 16y + 63
y2 - 16y + 63

Solution

To multiply binomials, use the FOIL method. FOIL stands for First, Outside, Inside, Last and refers to the position of each term in the parentheses:

(y - 7)(y + 9)
(y x y) + (y x 9) + (-7 x y) + (-7 x 9)
y2 + 9y - 7y - 63
y2 + 2y - 63


4

The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 8 and radius (r) = 2. What is the surface area?

48% Answer Correctly
176π
40π
192π

Solution

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

sa = 2πr2 + 2πrh
sa = 2π(22) + 2π(2 x 8)
sa = 2π(4) + 2π(16)
sa = (2 x 4)π + (2 x 16)π
sa = 8π + 32π
sa = 40π


5

Solve for z:
5z + 3 = 1 - 4z

58% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{1}{8}\)
-\(\frac{2}{9}\)
-\(\frac{1}{2}\)
-\(\frac{2}{3}\)

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 equal sign and the answer on the other.

5z + 3 = 1 - 4z
5z = 1 - 4z - 3
5z + 4z = 1 - 3
9z = -2
z = \( \frac{-2}{9} \)
z = -\(\frac{2}{9}\)
