1

The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 5 and radius (r) = 5. What is the surface area?

48% Answer Correctly
24π
240π
306π
100π

Solution

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

sa = 2πr2 + 2πrh
sa = 2π(52) + 2π(5 x 5)
sa = 2π(25) + 2π(25)
sa = (2 x 25)π + (2 x 25)π
sa = 50π + 50π
sa = 100π


2

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

51% Answer Correctly

trapezoid

quadrilateral

rhombus

triangle


Solution

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


3

If a = c = 2, b = d = 8, what is the area of this rectangle?

80% Answer Correctly
9
16
5
56

Solution

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

a = l x w
a = a x b
a = 2 x 8
a = 16


4

Solve for a:
a2 - 4a - 45 = 0

58% Answer Correctly
-8 or -9
-5 or 9
-7 or -9
4 or -8

Solution

The first step to solve a quadratic equation that's set to zero is to factor the quadratic equation:

a2 - 4a - 45 = 0
(a + 5)(a - 9) = 0

For this expression to be true, the left side of the expression must equal zero. Therefore, either (a + 5) or (a - 9) must equal zero:

If (a + 5) = 0, a must equal -5
If (a - 9) = 0, a must equal 9

So the solution is that a = -5 or 9


5

The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 3 and radius (r) = 7. What is the volume?

62% Answer Correctly
72π
405π
147π
144π

Solution

The volume of a cylinder is πr2h:

v = πr2h
v = π(72 x 3)
v = 147π
