If side a = 8, side b = 5, what is the length of the hypotenuse of this right triangle?
| \( \sqrt{61} \) | |
| \( \sqrt{41} \) | |
| \( \sqrt{145} \) | |
| \( \sqrt{89} \) |
According to the Pythagorean theorem, the hypotenuse squared is equal to the sum of the two perpendicular sides squared:
c2 = a2 + b2
c2 = 82 + 52
c2 = 64 + 25
c2 = 89
c = \( \sqrt{89} \)
The formula for the area of a circle is which of the following?
a = π d |
|
a = π r2 |
|
a = π r |
|
a = π d2 |
The circumference of a circle is the distance around its perimeter and equals π (approx. 3.14159) x diameter: c = π d. The area of a circle is π x (radius)2 : a = π r2.
If the area of this square is 36, what is the length of one of the diagonals?
| 2\( \sqrt{2} \) | |
| 3\( \sqrt{2} \) | |
| 6\( \sqrt{2} \) | |
| 7\( \sqrt{2} \) |
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 = \( \sqrt{a} \) = \( \sqrt{36} \) = 6
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 = 62 + 62
c2 = 72
c = \( \sqrt{72} \) = \( \sqrt{36 x 2} \) = \( \sqrt{36} \) \( \sqrt{2} \)
c = 6\( \sqrt{2} \)
The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 6 and radius (r) = 1. What is the surface area?
| 140π | |
| 288π | |
| 70π | |
| 14π |
The surface area of a cylinder is 2πr2 + 2πrh:
sa = 2πr2 + 2πrh
sa = 2π(12) + 2π(1 x 6)
sa = 2π(1) + 2π(6)
sa = (2 x 1)π + (2 x 6)π
sa = 2π + 12π
sa = 14π
Solve 4c + 3c = 2c + 2y - 6 for c in terms of y.
| y - \(\frac{5}{13}\) | |
| -1\(\frac{2}{3}\)y + 1\(\frac{1}{3}\) | |
| -\(\frac{1}{2}\)y - 3 | |
| 2\(\frac{1}{4}\)y + 2\(\frac{1}{4}\) |
To solve this equation, isolate the variable for which you are solving (c) on one side of the equation and put everything else on the other side.
4c + 3y = 2c + 2y - 6
4c = 2c + 2y - 6 - 3y
4c - 2c = 2y - 6 - 3y
2c = -y - 6
c = \( \frac{-y - 6}{2} \)
c = \( \frac{-y}{2} \) + \( \frac{-6}{2} \)
c = -\(\frac{1}{2}\)y - 3
