1

For this diagram, the Pythagorean theorem states that b2 = ?

47% Answer Correctly

c2 - a2

a2 - c2

c - a

c2 + a2


Solution

The Pythagorean theorem defines the relationship between the side lengths of a right triangle. The length of the hypotenuse squared (c2) is equal to the sum of the two perpendicular sides squared (a2 + b2): c2 = a2 + b2 or, solved for c, \(c = \sqrt{a + b}\)


2

What is 2a - 7a?

80% Answer Correctly
-5a
-5
14a2
9a2

Solution

To combine like terms, add or subtract the coefficients (the numbers that come before the variables) of terms that have the same variable raised to the same exponent.

2a - 7a = -5a


3

Order the following types of angle from least number of degrees to most number of degrees.

76% Answer Correctly

acute, right, obtuse

right, acute, obtuse

right, obtuse, acute

acute, obtuse, right


Solution

An acute angle measures less than 90°, a right angle measures 90°, and an obtuse angle measures more than 90°.


4

If side a = 1, side b = 5, what is the length of the hypotenuse of this right triangle?

64% Answer Correctly
\( \sqrt{117} \)
\( \sqrt{26} \)
\( \sqrt{130} \)
\( \sqrt{20} \)

Solution

According to the Pythagorean theorem, the hypotenuse squared is equal to the sum of the two perpendicular sides squared:

c2 = a2 + b2
c2 = 12 + 52
c2 = 1 + 25
c2 = 26
c = \( \sqrt{26} \)


5

If a = 8, b = 6, c = 8, and d = 1, what is the perimeter of this quadrilateral?

88% Answer Correctly
11
21
19
23

Solution

Perimeter is equal to the sum of the four sides:

p = a + b + c + d
p = 8 + 6 + 8 + 1
p = 23
