1

If BD = 22 and AD = 24, AB = ?

76% Answer Correctly
5
12
9
2

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 = 24 - 22
AB = 2


2

Which types of triangles will always have at least two sides of equal length?

54% Answer Correctly

equilateral, isosceles and right

equilateral and isosceles

equilateral and right

isosceles and right


Solution

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.


3

If side a = 5, side b = 7, what is the length of the hypotenuse of this right triangle?

64% Answer Correctly
\( \sqrt{73} \)
\( \sqrt{74} \)
\( \sqrt{128} \)
\( \sqrt{117} \)

Solution

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

c2 = a2 + b2
c2 = 52 + 72
c2 = 25 + 49
c2 = 74
c = \( \sqrt{74} \)


4

The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 1 and radius (r) = 1. What is the surface area?

48% Answer Correctly
182π
40π
156π

Solution

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

sa = 2πr2 + 2πrh
sa = 2π(12) + 2π(1 x 1)
sa = 2π(1) + 2π(1)
sa = (2 x 1)π + (2 x 1)π
sa = 2π + 2π
sa = 4π


5

Solve 2b - 2b = 9b - 2z - 6 for b in terms of z.

34% Answer Correctly
4z - 8
z + \(\frac{6}{7}\)
-1\(\frac{1}{5}\)z - \(\frac{4}{5}\)
-2\(\frac{3}{4}\)z - \(\frac{3}{4}\)

Solution

To solve this equation, isolate the variable for which you are solving (b) on one side of the equation and put everything else on the other side.

2b - 2z = 9b - 2z - 6
2b = 9b - 2z - 6 + 2z
2b - 9b = -2z - 6 + 2z
-7b = - 6
b = \( \frac{ - 6}{-7} \)
b = \( \frac{}{-7} \) + \( \frac{-6}{-7} \)
b = z + \(\frac{6}{7}\)
