1. A pressure vessel has a cylindrical body (diameter 10cm, height 20cm) with hemispherical ends (same diameter as the cylinder). What is its total surface area?
- A. 785 sq cm
- B. 1130 sq cm
- C. 1570 sq cm
- D. 2055 sq cm
Correct answer: D
Rationale: To find the total surface area, we need to calculate the surface area of the cylindrical body and both hemispherical ends separately. The surface area of the cylinder is the sum of the lateral surface area (2Ï€rh) and the area of the two circular bases (2Ï€r^2). For the hemispheres, the surface area of one hemisphere is (2Ï€r^2), so for two hemispheres, it would be (4Ï€r^2). Given that the diameter of the cylinder and hemispherical ends is 10cm, the radius (r) is 5cm. Calculating the individual surface areas: Cylinder = 2Ï€(5)(20) + 2Ï€(5)^2 = 200Ï€ + 50Ï€ = 250Ï€. Hemispheres = 4Ï€(5)^2 = 100Ï€. Adding these together gives a total surface area of 250Ï€ + 100Ï€ = 350Ï€ cm^2, which is approximately equal to 2055 sq cm. Therefore, the correct answer is D. Choice A (785 sq cm) is incorrect as it is significantly lower than the correct calculation. Choices B (1130 sq cm) and C (1570 sq cm) are also incorrect as they do not reflect the accurate surface area calculation for the given dimensions.
2. What is the result of dividing 2,032 by 25?
- A. 91 r3
- B. 81 r28
- C. 81 r7
- D. 9 r3
Correct answer: C
Rationale: When dividing 2,032 by 25, you find that 25 goes into 2,032 a total of 81 times without exceeding it. The remainder is 7, not 28 as stated in choice B. This is because 25 * 81 = 2,025, leaving a difference of 7, not 28. Choice A and D are incorrect because they do not correctly represent the division result of 2,032 by 25.
3. A circular bandage has a diameter of 6cm. What is the area covered by the bandage (area of a circle = πr^2)?
- A. 9Ï€ cm^2
- B. 18Ï€ cm^2
- C. 27Ï€ cm^2
- D. 36Ï€ cm^2
Correct answer: C
Rationale: Rationale: - The formula for the area of a circle is A = πr^2, where r is the radius of the circle. - The diameter of the circular bandage is 6 cm, so the radius (r) is half of the diameter, which is 6/2 = 3 cm. - Substitute the radius (r = 3 cm) into the formula for the area of a circle: A = π(3)^2 = 9π cm^2. - Therefore, the area covered by the bandage is 9π cm^2.
4. Convert 5 3/4 to a decimal. Round it to the nearest tenth.
- A. 5.75
- B. 5.7
- C. 6
- D. 5.8
Correct answer: D
Rationale: To convert 5 3/4 to a decimal, divide the numerator (3) by the denominator (4) to get 0.75. Adding this to the whole number 5 results in 5.75. When rounding to the nearest tenth, 5.75 rounds to 5.8. Choice A, 5.75, is the exact conversion before rounding, so it is incorrect. Choice B, 5.7, is incorrect because it does not account for the 0.05 difference when rounding. Choice C, 6, is incorrect as it is the closest whole number but not a decimal approximation. Therefore, the correct answer is 5.8.
5. The physician orders 1000 mg of Benadryl liquid; 1 g = 1 tsp. How many teaspoons will you give?
- A. .75 tsp
- B. 1.5 tsp
- C. 1 tsp
- D. 1.25 tsp
Correct answer: C
Rationale: Since 1 gram (g) equals 1000 milligrams (mg) and 1 g = 1 teaspoon (tsp), the prescribed 1000 mg is equal to 1 tsp. Therefore, you will give 1 teaspoon of the Benadryl liquid. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not correspond to the correct conversion of 1 g to 1 tsp, which is essential in solving this dosage calculation.
