1

If side a = 4, side b = 8, what is the length of the hypotenuse of this right triangle?

64% Answer Correctly
\( \sqrt{65} \)
\( \sqrt{80} \)
\( \sqrt{85} \)
\( \sqrt{32} \)

Solution

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

c2 = a2 + b2
c2 = 42 + 82
c2 = 16 + 64
c2 = 80
c = \( \sqrt{80} \)


2

If side x = 8cm, side y = 14cm, and side z = 14cm what is the perimeter of this triangle?

85% Answer Correctly
35cm
34cm
36cm
30cm

Solution

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

p = x + y + z
p = 8cm + 14cm + 14cm = 36cm


3

If angle a = 64° and angle b = 43° what is the length of angle c?

71% Answer Correctly
73°
90°
89°
79°

Solution

The sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°:
180° = a° + b° + c°
c° = 180° - a° - b°
c° = 180° - 64° - 43° = 73°


4

Which of the following expressions contains exactly two terms?

83% Answer Correctly

polynomial

monomial

binomial

quadratic


Solution

A monomial contains one term, a binomial contains two terms, and a polynomial contains more than two terms.


5

On this circle, a line segment connecting point A to point D is called:

46% Answer Correctly

radius

diameter

chord

circumference


Solution

A circle is a figure in which each point around its perimeter is an equal distance from the center. The radius of a circle is the distance between the center and any point along its perimeter. A chord is a line segment that connects any two points along its perimeter. The diameter of a circle is the length of a chord that passes through the center of the circle and equals twice the circle's radius (2r).
