explanation:
"Choice A is correct. The perimeter of a triangle is the sum of the lengths of its three sides. The triangle shown has side lengths x, y, and z. It's given that the triangle has a perimeter of 22 units. Therefore, x + y + z = 22. If x = 9 units and y = 7 units, the value of z, in units, can be found by substituting 9 for x and 7 for y in the equation x + y + z = 22, which yields 9 + 7 + z = 22, or 16 + z = 22. Subtracting 16 from both sides of this equation yields z = 6. Therefore, if x = 9 units and y = 7 units, the value of z, in units, is 6.

explanation:
"Choice C is correct. The two diagonals of square ABCD divide the square into 4 congruent right triangles, where each triangle has a vertex at the origin of the graph shown. The formula for the area of a triangle is A = one half · b h, where b is the base length of the triangle and h is the height of the triangle. Each of the 4 congruent right triangles has a height of 5 units and a base length of 5 units. Therefore, the area of each triangle is A = one half · 5 · 5, or 12.5 square units. Since the 4 right triangles are congruent, the area of each is one fourth of the area of square ABCD. It follows that the area of the square ABCD is equal to 4 · 12 . 5, or 50 square units.Choices A and D are incorrect and may result from using 5 or 25, respectively, as the area of one of the 4 congruent right triangles formed by diagonals of square ABCD. However, the area of these triangles is 12.5. Choice B is incorrect and may result from using 5 as the length of one side of square ABCD.

"Choice A is correct. The volume of a right circular cylinder with a radius of r is the product of the area of the base, π, r², and the height, h. The volume of the right circular cylinder described is 45 π and its height is 5. If the radius is r, it follows that 45 π = π · r, ² · 5. Dividing both sides of this equation by 5 π yields 9 = r². Taking the square root of both sides yields r = 3 or r = −3. Since r represents the radius, the value must be positive.

Choice C is incorrect. This represents the square of the radius.

"Choice B is correct. The area, A, of a triangle can be found using the formula A = one half b h, where b is the length of the base of the triangle and h is the height of the triangle. It's given that the triangle is a right triangle. Therefore, its base and height can be represented by the two legs. It’s also given that the triangle has sides of length 2 √(2), 6 √(2), and √(80) units. Since √(80) units is the greatest of these lengths, it's the length of the hypotenuse. Therefore, the two legs have lengths 2 √(2) and 6 √(2) units. Substituting these values for b and h in the formula A = one half b h gives A = one half (2 √(2)) (6 √(2)), which is equivalent to A = 6 √(4) square units, or A = 12 square units.

It's given that triangles italic A italic B italic C and italic D italic E italic F are similar and each side length of triangle italic A italic B italic C is 4 times the corresponding side length of triangle italic D italic E italic F. For two similar triangles, if each side length of the first triangle is k times the corresponding side length of the second triangle, then the area of the first triangle is k² times the area of the second triangle.

choices: [],
correctAnswer: "2592/5, 518.4",
explanation:
"The correct answer is 518.4. It's given that the area of the original poster is 360 square inches. Let script l represent the length, in inches, of the original poster, and let w represent the width, in inches, of the original poster. Since the area of a rectangle is equal to its length times its width, it follows that 360 = script l w. It's also given that a copy of the poster is made in which the length and width of the original poster are each increased by 20 % sign. It follows that the length of the copy is the length of the original poster plus 20 % sign of the length of the original poster, which is equivalent to script l + (20) / (100) script l inches. This length can be rewritten as script l + 0.2 script l inches, or 1.2 script l inches. Similarly, the width of the copy is the width of the original poster plus 20 % sign of the width of the original poster, which is equivalent to w + (20) / (100) w inches. This width can be rewritten as w + 0.2 w inches, or 1.2 w inches. Since the area of a rectangle is equal to its length times its width, it follows that the area, in square inches, of the copy is equal to (1.2 script l) (1.2 w), which can be rewritten as (1.2) (1.2) (script l w). Since 360 = script l w, the area, in square inches, of the copy can be found by substituting 360 for script l w in the expression (1.2) (1.2) (script l w), which yields (1.2) (1.2) (360), or 518.4.

explanation:
"Choice C is correct. The volume of a right circular cylinder is equal to π a² b, where a is the radius of a base of the cylinder and b is the height of the cylinder. It’s given that the cylinder shown has a radius of r and a height of h. It follows that the volume of the cylinder shown is equal to π r² h. It’s given that the second right circular cylinder has a radius of R and a height of H. It follows that the volume of the second cylinder is equal to π R² H. Choice C gives R = 7 r and H = 8 h. Substituting 7 r for R and 8 h for H in the expression that represents the volume of the second cylinder yields π (7 r)² (8 h), or π (49 r²) (8 h), which is equivalent to π (392 r² h), or 392 (π r² h). This expression is equal to 392 times the volume of the cylinder shown, π r² h. Therefore, R = 7 r and H = 8 h could represent the radius R, in terms of r, and the height H, in terms of h, of the second cylinder.
Choice A is incorrect. Substituting 8 r for R and 7 h for H in the expression that represents the volume of the second cylinder yields π (8 r)² (7 h), or π (64 r²) (7 h), which is equivalent to π (448 r² h), or 448 (π r² h). This expression is equal to 448, not 392, times the volume of the cylinder shown.
Choice B is incorrect. Substituting 8 r for R and 49 h for H in the expression that represents the volume of the second cylinder yields π (8 r)² (49 h), or π (64 r²) (49 h), which is equivalent to π (3, 136 r² h), or 3, 136 (π r² h). This expression is equal to 3, 136, not 392, times the volume of the cylinder shown.
Choice D is incorrect. Substituting 49 r for R and 8 h for H in the expression that represents the volume of the second cylinder yields π (49 r)² (8 h), or π (2, 401 r²) (8 h), which is equivalent to π (19, 208 r² h), or 19, 208 (π r² h).

"The correct answer is 27, 556. The area of a square is s², where s is the side length of the square. Let x represent the length of each side of square B. Substituting x for s in s² yields x². It follows that the area of square B is x². It’s given that square A has side lengths that are 166 times the side lengths of square B. Since x represents the length of each side of square B, the length of each side of square A can be represented by the expression 166 x. It follows that the area of square A is (166 x)², or 27, 556 x². It’s given that the area of square A is k times the area of square B.

explanation:
"The correct answer is 24.5. It's given that a triangle is formed by connecting the three points shown, which are (−3, 4), (5, 3), and (4 −3). Let this triangle be triangle A. The area of triangle A can be found by calculating the area of the rectangle that circumscribes it and subtracting the areas of the three triangles that are inside the rectangle but outside triangle A. The rectangle formed by the points (−3, 4), (5, 4), (5 −3), and (−3 −3) circumscribes triangle A. The width, in units, of this rectangle can be found by calculating the distance between the points (5, 4) and (5 −3). This distance is 4 − (−3), or 7. The length, in units, of this rectangle can be found by calculating the distance between the points (5, 4) and (−3, 4). This distance is 5 − (−3), or 8. It follows that the area, in square units, of the rectangle is (7) (8), or 56. One of the triangles that lies inside the rectangle but outside triangle A is formed by the points (−3, 4), (5, 4), and (5, 3). The length, in units, of a base of this triangle can be found by calculating the distance between the points (5, 4) and (5, 3). This distance is 4 − 3, or 1. The corresponding height, in units, of this triangle can be found by calculating the distance between the points (5, 4) and (−3, 4). This distance is 5 − (−3), or 8. It follows that the area, in square units, of this triangle is one half (8) (1), or 4. A second triangle that lies inside the rectangle but outside triangle A is formed by the points (4 −3), (5, 3), and (5 −3). The length, in units, of a base of this triangle can be found by calculating the distance between the points (5, 3) and (5 −3). This distance is 3 − (−3) , or 6. The corresponding height, in units, of this triangle can be found by calculating the distance between the points (5 −3) and (4 −3). This distance is 5 − 4, or 1. It follows that the area, in square units, of this triangle is one half (1) (6), or 3. The third triangle that lies inside the rectangle but outside triangle A is formed by the points (−3, 4), (−3 −3), and (4 −3).

correctAnswer: "B",
explanation:
"Choice B is correct. Let x represent the side length, in cm, of each square base. If the two prisms are glued together along a square base, the resulting prism has a surface area equal to twice the surface area of one of the prisms, minus the area of the two square bases that are being glued together, which yields 2 K − 2 x² cm² . It’s given that this resulting surface area is equal to (92) / (47) K cm², so 2 K − 2 x² = (92) / (47) K. Subtracting (92) / (47) K from both sides of this equation yields 2 K − (92) / (47) K − 2 x² = 0. This equation can be rewritten by multiplying 2 K on the left-hand side by (47) / (47), which yields (94) / (47) K − (92) / (47) K − 2 x² = 0, or two forty sevenths K − 2 x² = 0. Adding 2 x² to both sides of this equation yields two forty sevenths K = 2 x². Multiplying both sides of this equation by (47) / (2) yields K = 47 x². The surface area K, in cm², of each rectangular prism is equivalent to the sum of the areas of the two square bases and the areas of the four lateral faces. Since the height of each rectangular prism is 90 cm and the side length of each square base is x cm, it follows that the area of each square base is x² cm² and the area of each lateral face is 90 x cm². Therefore, the surface area of each rectangular prism can be represented by the expression 2 x² + 4 (90 x), or 2 x² + 360 x. Substituting this expression for K in the equation K = 47 x² yields 2 x² + 360 x = 47 x². Subtracting 2 x² and 360 x from both sides of this equation yields 0 = 45 x² − 360 x. Factoring x from the right-hand side of this equation yields 0 = x (45 x − 360). Applying the zero product property, it follows that x = 0 and 45 x − 360 = 0. Adding 360 to both sides of the equation 45 x − 360 = 0 yields 45 x = 360. Dividing both sides of this equation by 45 yields x = 8. Since a side length of a rectangular prism can’t be 0, the length of each square base is 8 cm.

"Circle A has a radius of 3 n and circle B has a radius of 129 n, where n is a positive constant. The area of circle B is how many times the area of circle A?",
choices: [
{ label: "A", text: "43" },
{ label: "B", text: "86" },
{ label: "C", text: "129" },
{ label: "D", text: "1, 849" },
],
correctAnswer: "D",
explanation:
"Choice D is correct. The area of a circle can be found by using the formula A = π r², where A is the area and r is the radius of the circle. It’s given that the radius of circle A is 3 n. Substituting this value for r into the formula A = π r² gives A = π (3 n)², or 9 π n². It’s also given that the radius of circle B is 129 n. Substituting this value for r into the formula A = π r² gives A = π (129 n)², or 16, 641 π n². Dividing the area of circle B by the area of circle A gives (16, 641 π n²) / (9 π n²), which simplifies to 1, 849. Therefore, the area of circle B is 1, 849 times the area of circle A.
Choice A is incorrect. This is how many times greater the radius of circle B is than the radius of circle A.
Choice B is incorrect and may result from conceptual or calculation errors.
Choice C is incorrect. This is the coefficient on the term that describes the radius of circle B.",

"The dimensions of a right rectangular prism are 4 inches by 5 inches by 6 inches. What is the surface area, in square inches, of the prism?",
choices: [
{ label: "A", text: "30" },
{ label: "B", text: "74" },
{ label: "C", text: "120" },
{ label: "D", text: "148" },
],
correctAnswer: "",
explanation:
"Choice D is correct. The surface area is found by summing the area of each face. A right rectangular prism consists of three pairs of congruent rectangles, so the surface area is found by multiplying the areas of three adjacent rectangles by 2 and adding these products. For this prism, the surface area is equal to 2 · (4 · 5, ) + 2 · (5 · 6, ) + 2 · (4 · 6, ), or 2 · 20 + 2 · 30 + 2 · 24, which is equal to 148.Choice A is incorrect. This is the area of one of the faces of the prism. Choice B is incorrect and may result from adding the areas of three adjacent rectangles without multiplying by 2. Choice C is incorrect. This is the volume, in cubic inches, of the prism.",
