1

If side a = 9, side b = 7, what is the length of the hypotenuse of this right triangle?

64% Answer Correctly
\( \sqrt{90} \)
\( \sqrt{61} \)
\( \sqrt{130} \)
\( \sqrt{97} \)

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 + 72
c2 = 81 + 49
c2 = 130
c = \( \sqrt{130} \)


2

A coordinate grid is composed of which of the following?

88% Answer Correctly

all of these

x-axis

y-axis

origin


Solution

The coordinate grid is composed of a horizontal x-axis and a vertical y-axis. The center of the grid, where the x-axis and y-axis meet, is called the origin.


3

A cylinder with a radius (r) and a height (h) has a surface area of:

53% Answer Correctly

2(π r2) + 2π rh

4π r2

π r2h2

π r2h


Solution

A cylinder is a solid figure with straight parallel sides and a circular or oval cross section with a radius (r) and a height (h). The volume of a cylinder is π r2h and the surface area is 2(π r2) + 2π rh.


4

A quadrilateral is a shape with __________ sides.

90% Answer Correctly

5

3

2

4


Solution

A quadrilateral is a shape with four sides. The perimeter of a quadrilateral is the sum of the lengths of its four sides.


5

Solve for z:
-3z - 9 > -3 - 8z

55% Answer Correctly
z > \(\frac{3}{4}\)
z > 1\(\frac{1}{5}\)
z > -4
z > 1

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.

-3z - 9 > -3 - 8z
-3z > -3 - 8z + 9
-3z + 8z > -3 + 9
5z > 6
z > \( \frac{6}{5} \)
z > 1\(\frac{1}{5}\)
