If the area of this square is 1, what is the length of one of the diagonals?

68% Answer Correctly
5\( \sqrt{2} \)
4\( \sqrt{2} \)
\( \sqrt{2} \)
9\( \sqrt{2} \)

Solution

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 = \( \sqrt{a} \) = \( \sqrt{1} \) = 1

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 = 12 + 12
c2 = 2
c = \( \sqrt{2} \)


2

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

48% Answer Correctly
210π
60π
16π
48π

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

The dimensions of this cube are height (h) = 9, length (l) = 5, and width (w) = 7. What is the surface area?

51% Answer Correctly
286
178
280
78

Solution

The surface area of a cube is (2 x length x width) + (2 x width x height) + (2 x length x height):

sa = 2lw + 2wh + 2lh
sa = (2 x 5 x 7) + (2 x 7 x 9) + (2 x 5 x 9)
sa = (70) + (126) + (90)
sa = 286


4

If side x = 5cm, side y = 10cm, and side z = 5cm what is the perimeter of this triangle?

84% Answer Correctly
36cm
31cm
20cm
37cm

Solution

The perimeter of a triangle is the sum of the lengths of its sides:

p = x + y + z
p = 5cm + 10cm + 5cm = 20cm


5

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

53% Answer Correctly

equilateral and right

equilateral, isosceles and right

isosceles and right

equilateral and isosceles


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.
