1

If side a = 9, side b = 1, what is the length of the hypotenuse of this right triangle?

63% Answer Correctly
\( \sqrt{98} \)
\( \sqrt{61} \)
\( \sqrt{74} \)
\( \sqrt{82} \)

Solution

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

c2 = a2 + b2
c2 = 92 + 12
c2 = 81 + 1
c2 = 82
c = \( \sqrt{82} \)


2

Solve for x:
6x + 8 > \( \frac{x}{3} \)

44% Answer Correctly
x > 1\(\frac{1}{48}\)
x > 1\(\frac{1}{5}\)
x > -1\(\frac{7}{17}\)
x > -4\(\frac{10}{11}\)

Solution

To solve this equation, repeatedly do the same thing to both sides of the equation until the variable is isolated on one side of the > sign and the answer on the other.

6x + 8 > \( \frac{x}{3} \)
3 x (6x + 8) > x
(3 x 6x) + (3 x 8) > x
18x + 24 > x
18x + 24 - x > 0
18x - x > -24
17x > -24
x > \( \frac{-24}{17} \)
x > -1\(\frac{7}{17}\)


3

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

74% Answer Correctly

right, acute, obtuse

right, obtuse, acute

acute, right, obtuse

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 a = c = 6, b = d = 1, what is the area of this rectangle?

79% Answer Correctly
21
4
32
6

Solution

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

a = l x w
a = a x b
a = 6 x 1
a = 6


5

If AD = 19 and BD = 12, AB = ?

75% Answer Correctly
7
17
18
3

Solution

The entire length of this line is represented by AD which is AB + BD:

AD = AB + BD

Solving for AB:

AB = AD - BD
AB = 19 - 12
AB = 7
