On this circle, line segment AB is the:
radius |
|
chord |
|
diameter |
|
circumference |
A circle is a figure in which each point around its perimeter is an equal distance from the center. The radius of a circle is the distance between the center and any point along its perimeter. A chord is a line segment that connects any two points along its perimeter. The diameter of a circle is the length of a chord that passes through the center of the circle and equals twice the circle's radius (2r).
If angle a = 52° and angle b = 44° what is the length of angle d?
| 157° | |
| 122° | |
| 111° | |
| 128° |
An exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the two interior angles that are opposite:
d° = b° + c°
To find angle c, remember that the sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°:
180° = a° + b° + c°
c° = 180° - a° - b°
c° = 180° - 52° - 44° = 84°
So, d° = 44° + 84° = 128°
A shortcut to get this answer is to remember that angles around a line add up to 180°:
a° + d° = 180°
d° = 180° - a°
d° = 180° - 52° = 128°
Which types of triangles will always have at least two sides of equal length?
equilateral and isosceles |
|
isosceles and right |
|
equilateral and right |
|
equilateral, isosceles and right |
An isosceles triangle has two sides of equal length. An equilateral triangle has three sides of equal length. In a right triangle, two sides meet at a right angle.
Which of the following statements about a parallelogram is not true?
the perimeter of a parallelogram is the sum of the lengths of all sides |
|
the area of a parallelogram is base x height |
|
opposite sides and adjacent angles are equal |
|
a parallelogram is a quadrilateral |
A parallelogram is a quadrilateral with two sets of parallel sides. Opposite sides (a = c, b = d) and angles (red = red, blue = blue) are equal. The area of a parallelogram is base x height and the perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all sides (a + b + c + d).
If the area of this square is 64, what is the length of one of the diagonals?
| 3\( \sqrt{2} \) | |
| 4\( \sqrt{2} \) | |
| 8\( \sqrt{2} \) | |
| 2\( \sqrt{2} \) |
To find the diagonal we need to know the length of one of the square's sides. We know the area and the area of a square is the length of one side squared:
a = s2
so the length of one side of the square is:
s = \( \sqrt{a} \) = \( \sqrt{64} \) = 8
The Pythagorean theorem defines the square of the hypotenuse (diagonal) of a triangle with a right angle as the sum of the squares of the other two sides:
c2 = a2 + b2
c2 = 82 + 82
c2 = 128
c = \( \sqrt{128} \) = \( \sqrt{64 x 2} \) = \( \sqrt{64} \) \( \sqrt{2} \)
c = 8\( \sqrt{2} \)
