Example Questions

Example Question #2141 : Hspt Mathematics

Cylinder

The surface area of the above cylinder is 80% of what number?

Possible Answers:

\(\displaystyle 28,000 \pi\)

\(\displaystyle 5,250 \pi\)

\(\displaystyle 45,000 \pi\)

\(\displaystyle 1,680 \pi\)

Correct answer:

\(\displaystyle 5,250 \pi\)

Explanation:

The surface area of the cylinder can be calculated by setting \(\displaystyle r = 30\) and \(\displaystyle h = 40\) in the formula

\(\displaystyle A =2 \pi r (r + h)\)

\(\displaystyle A =2 \pi \cdot 30 (30 + 40)\)

\(\displaystyle A =2 \pi \cdot 30 \cdot 70\)

\(\displaystyle A = 4,200 \pi\)

This is 80% of the number

\(\displaystyle 4,200 \pi \div \frac{80}{100} = 4,200 \pi \cdot \frac{100} {80}= 5,250 \pi\)

Example Question #2142 : Hspt Mathematics

What is the surface area of a cube with a side edge of 7?

Possible Answers:

\(\displaystyle 168\)

\(\displaystyle 196\)

\(\displaystyle 343\)

\(\displaystyle 294\)

\(\displaystyle 49\)

Correct answer:

\(\displaystyle 294\)

Explanation:

First you must find the area of one side of the cube which is side squared.

\(\displaystyle \\A=s^2 \\A=7^2 \\A=49\) .  

Then you multiply that area by six since that is how many sides a cube has.

Your answer is \(\displaystyle 49*6=294\).
