1

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

47% Answer Correctly

c2 + a2

c - a

c2 - a2

a2 - c2


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

The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 5 and radius (r) = 3. What is the surface area?

48% Answer Correctly
48π
20π
88π
130π

Solution

The surface area of a cylinder is 2πr2 + 2πrh:

sa = 2πr2 + 2πrh
sa = 2π(32) + 2π(3 x 5)
sa = 2π(9) + 2π(15)
sa = (2 x 9)π + (2 x 15)π
sa = 18π + 30π
sa = 48π


3

Simplify (y - 4)(y - 6)

62% Answer Correctly
y2 + 2y - 24
y2 - 2y - 24
y2 + 10y + 24
y2 - 10y + 24

Solution

To multiply binomials, use the FOIL method. FOIL stands for First, Outside, Inside, Last and refers to the position of each term in the parentheses:

(y - 4)(y - 6)
(y x y) + (y x -6) + (-4 x y) + (-4 x -6)
y2 - 6y - 4y + 24
y2 - 10y + 24


4

If the base of this triangle is 5 and the height is 4, what is the area?

58% Answer Correctly
21
15
10
72

Solution

The area of a triangle is equal to ½ base x height:

a = ½bh
a = ½ x 5 x 4 = \( \frac{20}{2} \) = 10


5

The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, 10) and (2, -2). What is the slope of this line?

46% Answer Correctly
2\(\frac{1}{2}\)
3
-3
-\(\frac{1}{2}\)

Solution

The slope of this line is the change in y divided by the change in x. The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, 10) and (2, -2) so the slope becomes:

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(-2.0) - (10.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{-12}{4} \)
m = -3
